Sell not, TEL not

An interdisciplinary group of researchers designed an innovative mobile application (app) to support bioscience language proficiency among pre-registration nursing students. The app's design, which incorporated features for audition and speaking prompts, was a key factor in its effectiveness. The same pedagogical approach was applied to alternative topics within the unit in Moodle, the university’s learning management system (LMS). The intervention in both forms (IC) was trialled and evaluated in a pilot study with two consecutive student cohorts in 2023 (n1=631, n2=218). Student access to each form of the condition was measured via technology-provided user analytics. The intervention condition (IC) uptake was higher in its LMS form compared to the app form. However, there were more initial attempts of the standard condition (SC) than the IC overall, indicating a tendency towards novelty avoidance. This article highlights and discusses the challenges of implementing novel technology-enhanced learning (TEL) approaches, focusing on students as stakeholders. Recommendations are proposed to improve user uptake of TEL approaches by focusing on strategies to enhance students’ perceptions of the TEL’s utility. A consistent ‘sales pitch’ to students as stakeholders is suggested.

Smart Agriculture Crop Management Warehouse

In a developing country like India, agriculture is one the most important sectors in terms of financial gain and providing healthy foods to survive. Agriculture is the primary occupation in our country for ages and most of the population depend on it. Now-a-days farmers are facing huge losses due to some storage requirements, while storing agricultural products. A Farmer should have knowledge about the condition of their agricultural crops. Farmers are keeping their agricultural crops in warehouses to increase the lifetime of food grains. Food plays a significant vital role in life, once it involves food security that is littered with each food loss and food wastages. Reports suggests that almost fifty proportion of the food made world-wide doesn't even reach the individuals as they're wasted throughout harvest, transportation, or storage. One in all the point that threats to the farmers is that the loss throughout storage of crops in granaries and warehouses. If crop losses are reduced, it'll mechanically increase the number of food accessibility. To solve this problem one solution is that this project includes smart warehouse management and monitoring farming field, which includes temperature maintenance, humidity maintenance, fire alarms, stock measurement, Pest control. To assist and help the farmers who protects the crops by storing in warehouse, a fully automated enabled observation system is planned to be deployed in remote areas wherever the accessibility is incredibly minimum for farmers with smart storage facilities to scale back food losses and increase food safety.

‘We didn't need to know about everything all at once’

Tertiary student engagement with information and academic literacy online resources provided by centralized units is low. Although these resources are designed to prepare students for their assessments, they are often positioned peripherally to students’ learning environments. In attempting to position resources within students’ learning environments, our Library team conduct regular user experience (UX) testing of a course we have designed in our institution’s learning management system. Our two-year UX project has focused on the design and organization of resources that show students examples and guidance with how to do their assessments. Over two rounds of data collection and analysis, UX methods of usability testing, card sorting, low-fidelity wireframing, and high-fidelity prototyping helped identify student preferences for organising and accessing our resources. Findings indicate that students value the provision of relevant examples and guidance that show them what is expected in assessments and that they want direct access to that content as part of their courses. Implications for design include maximizing ease of use by positioning links to relevant examples and guidance in the assessment instructions and/or specific learning materials of courses, with the content being linked to positioned within a centralized repository in the same online learning environment.

Efficient Hybrid Electric Vehicle Power Management: Dual Battery Energy Storage Empowered by Bidirectional DC–DC Converter

ABSTRACTThis work offers a fuel cell power system with the ability to distribute power to the load from the electrical source and charge an auxiliary battery utilizing regenerative power flows created by the load. The approach is established on a bidirectional closed‐loop DC converter. A bidirectional DC–DC converter is presented as a means of achieving extremely high voltage energy storage systems (ESSs) for a DC bus or supply of electricity in power applications. This paper presents a novel dual‐active‐bridge (DAB) bidirectional DC–DC converter power management system for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). The proposed system makes it possible to charge an additional battery with regenerative power flows and distributes power from the electrical source to the load efficiently. The two main stages of the DAB converter, which are the focus of this work, are an interleaved buck/boost converter on the battery and a three‐phase wye‐wye series resonating converter on the DC bus. Each switch's current stress is greatly reduced by this design, which lowers transmission losses and enhances thermal performance. The interleaved buck conversion on the battery allows for lesser current stress in each switch, resulting in lower transmission loss. The increasing complexity and power of automotive embedded electronic systems have made the use of more potent power electronic converters in automobiles necessary. In recent years, many dual volt (42 V/14 V) bidirectional inverter topologies for automotive systems have been presented. However, the majority of them are either inefficient or use a huge number of transistors and magnetic devices in both parallel and series arrangements. As a result, in this study, a bidirectional high‐efficiency inverter with fewer components is provided. The design, modes of operation, and performance metrics of the DAB converter are examined, emphasizing its ability to achieve zero‐voltage switching (ZVS) and zero current switching (ZCS) throughout its operating range. The suggested system seeks to maximize EV power management, guaranteeing high dependability and efficiency. To test all of the aforementioned qualities, an evaluation version was created, with an average efficiency of 97.5%. This research could have a substantial impact on the advancement of power electronic converters for automotive applications, leading to better EV power management, increased system reliability, and increased overall efficiency.

Digital Readiness and Digital Competences Influence on Information Management System: Organizational Support as Moderator

The study also examines the mediating role of digital competences among digital tool application, digital media awareness and effectiveness of IMS. Survey questionnaires were used to collect data from a sample of 290 employees of private sector organizations in China. SPSS-AMOS data analysis tools were used to check the associations among variables. The outcomes indicated that the digital tool application and digital media awareness have a positive nexus with effectiveness of IMS. The results also revealed that the digital competences significantly mediates among digital tool application, digital media awareness and effectiveness of IMS, and that organizational support also significantly moderates among digital competences and effectiveness of IMS in private sector organizations in China.

Do Beliefs About Intelligence Drive Engagement in Online Learning?

This study investigates the relationship between students’ beliefs about intelligence (fixed vs. growth mindset) and their engagement and behaviour in an online learning platform. The data was collected from 28 students enrolled in COMP90082 – Software Project subject at The University of Melbourne. Students’ beliefs about intelligence were measured through a survey administered during the first week, while their online learning behaviours were captured through clickstream data from the learning management system. The study adopted a two-fold approach: first, students’ learning strategies were identified through cluster analysis of their online session duration. By examining over 41,000 learning actions —such as accessing course materials, participating in discussions, and completing assignments— three distinct learning strategies emerged: “light”, “light-intensive”, and “intensive.” Subsequently, the relationship between these learning strategies and students’ beliefs about intelligence was examined using data visualisation techniques, chi-square tests, and logistic regression models. The findings revealed that students with a growth mindset were more likely to adopt intensive and engaged learning approaches within the online platform. Conversely, those with a fixed mindset tended to exhibit lower engagement levels and less intensive learning strategies. The study may contribute to the growing literature on the psychology of online learning and highlight the potential for tailoring instructional interventions and platform design to foster a growth mindset, thereby enhancing student engagement and academic success in digital learning environments.

Comparison of document-based and on-site inspections of hospitals based on medical law: A case report from Osaka City during the COVID-19 pandemic

Objectives On-site inspections of hospitals were conducted in Osaka City during fiscal years 2018 and 2019, whereas document-based inspections were performed during the COVID-19 pandemic in fiscal year 2021. This case report aimed to compare the outcomes of these two methods and provide a good indication of the method that should be selected in case of a pandemic.Methods For on-site inspections, documents, including checklists, were sent to 351 hospitals from the Osaka City Public Health Office, and responses from each hospital were returned. On-site inspections were conducted, and the written instructions that indicated inadequate aspects and guidance were mailed to hospitals.For document-based inspections, documents were sent to 176 hospitals, and responses were returned. For hospitals that answered "incomplete" regarding the categories of medical safety management systems and hospital-acquired infection control, public health physicians called to confirm and instruct their inadequate responses, and the same step as the on-site inspection was executed. We compared and examined the outcomes of the on-site and document-based inspections.Results In the on-site inspections, 12 of the 351 hospitals (3.4%) were recognized as inadequate because of a shortage of healthcare workers. In the document-based inspections, eight out of 176 hospitals (4.5%) were identified, and there was no significant difference.Regarding the medical safety management system, 95 of the 351 hospitals (27.1%) on on-site inspection and 21 of the 176 hospitals (11.9%) on document-based inspection received written instructions. The proportion of hospitals that received written instructions was significantly higher for on-site inspections than for document-based inspections (P < 0.001).For hospital-acquired infection control, 65 of 351 hospitals (18.6%) on on-site inspection and 17 of 176 hospitals (9.7%) on document-based inspection got written instructions. The proportion of hospitals that received written instructions was significantly higher for on-site inspections than document-based inspections (P = 0.007).Conclusion Document-based inspection can easily unify the guiding criteria with fewer public health physicians. However, because of the limited amount of information available without checking the documents retained in hospitals, it is difficult to monitor the matters that need instructions. Thus, on-site inspection is preferable. However, if onsite inspection is difficult, inspection combined with online methods should be considered.

Design of a triple port integrated topology for grid-integrated EV charging stations for three-way power flow

Environmental fluctuations, solar irradiance, and ambient temperature significantly affect photovoltaic (PV) system output. PV systems should be efficient at the Maximum Power Point in various weather climates to maximize their potential power output. The Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique is employed to plan a specific location that yields the maximum amount of power. Operating dispersed alternative energy sources connected to the grid in this situation makes energy control an unavoidable task. This research article suggests designing a power electronics converter topology that links sustainable resources and electric vehicles to the power grid. There are four modes of operation for this proposed converter topology: grid-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-grid, renewable-to-vehicle, and renewable-to-grid discussed. The three power electronic converters and their uses are discussed, and their controllers are also designed to maintain the energy balance and stability in all cases. The battery characteristics indicate the operating mode. The work primarily focuses on the converter’s Triple Port Integrated Topology (TPIT) power flow and voltage control. Here, three power converters integrate the TPIT with three systems-the electric grid, renewable energy, and electric vehicles-into one system. The source battery and solar photovoltaic (PV) array cells are integrated using unidirectional and bidirectional DC-DC converters. The future scope of the work is to investigate the potential of adding additional ports for integrating other energy resources, such as hydrogen fuel cells or additional renewable sources, to create a more versatile and robust energy management system for EV charging stations.

Waste management system: sanitary-epidemiological and environmental aspects

Introduction. Despite the positive trends in the field of industrial and consumer waste management, issues related to the legal regulation of activities to eliminate objects of accumulated damage to the environment and its relationship with activities to eliminate unauthorized landfills remain unresolved. A separate and important problematic aspect is the assignment of waste to a certain hazard class and their subsequent accounting and neutralization. The study aims to consider the established practice of using sanitary-epidemiological and environmental legislation in the management of industrial and consumer waste, including in assessing their toxicity. Materials and methods. The authors conducted the study using an information and analytical method for analyzing regulatory documentation and scientific publications from the databases Elibrary, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, Techexpert, Consultant, etc. They also compared the topical issues of assessing the toxicity of production and consumption waste and identified the specifics of the methodology for calculating the amount of damage as a result of unauthorized waste disposal. Results. It has been established that one of the optimal solutions in the issue of assessing the hazard class of waste may be to bring the criteria for their classification according to the degree of toxicity to uniformity, as well as the development of a single document carried out by institutions regardless of departmental subordination. Studies conducted to determine the amount of damage as a result of unauthorized disposal of production and consumption waste and to establish the hazard class of waste must comply with the requirements of uniformity of measurements and accreditation in the national system, respectively. To correctly calculate the amount of harm, you need to use the value of the mass of waste with the same hazard class. The availability of separate documents in sanitary-epidemiological and environmental legislation can significantly affect the calculation of the amount of harm due to various methods of determining the hazard class of waste, as well as the timeliness of identifying the long-term impact of waste on the environment and public health. Limitations. The study is limited to the analysis of law enforcement practice in the field of waste management, as well as the results of research in domestic and international literature. The analysis will allow researchers to consider non-obvious and controversial issues in the planning of activities. Conclusion. Updating documents on the establishment of the hazard class of waste should be carried out considering law enforcement practice. The absence of duality in compliance with the established requirements in both the field of environmental and sanitary-epidemiological legislation can be a guarantee of the reliability and truthfulness of research. This will allow you to make the right management decisions. Ethics. The study does not require the submission of the conclusion of the biomedical ethics committee.

Measuring Supply Chain Performance Using the SCOR Model: A Case Study of CV. XYZ

This research discusses the design of a performance measurement system for supply chain management using the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model developed by the Supply Chain Council. The SCOR model focuses on five main activities within a company's supply chain, namely plan, source, make, deliver, and return. All activities are linked with performance attributes such as reliability, responsiveness, flexibility, cost, and assets. The implementation of this model is applied to CV. XYZ, a company that operates in the production of plain and printed T-shirts, which is located in East Java. The research was conducted from January 2024 to September 2024. The results of the study identified that there are 35 performance indicators representing supply chain activities, with the following breakdown: 9 indicators for the plan activity, 7 indicators for the source activity, 6 indicators for the make activity, 7 indicators for the deliver activity, and 6 indicators for the return activity. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was used to weight each activity in the SCOR model. Based on the results, the highest priority was the source activity (0.252), followed by deliver (0.222), plan (0.221), make (0.209), and return (0.095). From the scoring system, it was found that 23 indicators have a green score, 8 indicators have a yellow score, and 4 indicators have a red score. The limitation of this research is that one SCOR activity, "enable," was not analyzed. Therefore, it is recommended that future research analyze all SCOR activities.
