Efficiency Analysis of Collaborative Based Recommendation System

Over the recent times, there has been great enhancement towards online shopping and platforms that provide commerce. Hence, great research and work has been done and is being done in field of recommendation systems. With this great development, there has been an exponential increase in online inventory due to the great number of users excessing these online platforms for buying and selling purposes and companies are often looking for advanced recommendation systems to provide their customers with the best online experience in respect towards each individual customer. It is believed that recent advancements in Deep Learning may provide an optimal solution for better recommendation systems, but it requires validation. The main aim of this paper is to follow through different research and investigate whether modern Deep Learning algorithms live up to the expectations and demands. Different reviews have been given in support with experiments. This literature review provides an analysis of different practices, state of the industrial methodologies and current research.

A-041 Everyone is Worse than Average: Base Rates of ADHD Impairments Among College Students.

Abstract Objective Individuals presenting with concerns of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) report non-specific symptoms and may seek academic or disability accommodations. However, simply having a diagnosis is not equivalent to having a disability that justifies accommodations. The legal definition of disability is poorly understood by clinicians. Guidance for determining the need for accommodations promotes self-report as the primary source of information in decision making and suggests using “most people in the general population” as a reference point when making decisions. Unfortunately, this benchmark is not well defined, and the population base rates of functional impairments commonly reported in ADHD evaluations have not been established. The present study sought to evaluate the base rates of commonly self-reported impairments among non-treatment seeking college students. Method Undergraduate students (N = 282; 72.3% female; 90.1% Caucasian) completed an online inventory of 32 education-related functional impairments commonly reported during ADHD evaluations. Students indicated how frequently they experienced symptoms on a 6-point scale (Never to Very Often). Results College students reported education impairments at a startlingly high rate. Of the 32 impairments, 22 were endorsed as “often” or higher by over 25% of students, and 30 were endorsed as “sometimes” or higher by over 25% of students. Conclusions Results suggest that functional impairments reported in ADHD evaluations that may be used in accommodation decision making are very common among college students. Common impairments included difficulty focusing or concentrating, needing to study more than others, and difficulty sitting in class. Results shed light on the need for clearer guidelines for determining accommodations.

A global environmental justice movement: mapping ecological distribution conflicts

The industrial economy is not circular, it is entropic, therefore requiring new supplies of energy and materials extracted from the “commodity frontiers”, and producing polluting waste. Therefore, ecological distribution conflicts arise. The Global Atlas of Environmental Justice is an online inventory of such ecological distribution conflicts based on scholarly and activist knowledge. It reached 3200 entries by July 2020 (ejtlas.org) allowing research on such conflicts in the field of comparative, statistical political ecology. The EJAtlas is used for research but also for university teaching in the environmental social sciences and in business economics and management. It is a unique instrument co-produced with and supporting environmental movements. One can do comparative analyses on the social actors involved in the conflicts and their forms of mobilization, and also on the behaviour of private or public companies. Research may focus on countries or regions but also on cross-cultural topics such as gold and copper mining, sand mining, dams, eucalyptus or oil palm plantations, incinerators and other methods of waste disposal, coal fired power plants, gas fracking, nuclear reactors, CAFOs. Analyses are done also on the cross- cultural expressions (slogans, banners, documentaries, murals) of the conflicts gathered in the EJAtlas. The wealth of research coming from the EJAtlas gives an affirmative answer to the question: Is there a global environmental justice movement? Making old or emergent conflicts more visible contributes to placing political ecology at the centre of politics.

Assessing the Usefulness of Iceberg Electromagnetic Backscatter Modeling Using a C-Band SAR Classifier

This letter presents the validation of an electromagnetic (EM) backscatter model of icebergs at C-band by comparing the performances of target classifiers trained with both modeled and real synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data. Simulated SAR data were obtained in a combination of imaging beam modes and scene parameters to produce 216 simulated Sentinel-1 C-band SAR images. Parameters consisted of Sentinel-1 IW1 (33.1°) and IW3 (43.1°) beam modes with varying wind speed (5 and 10 m/s), wind direction (0°, 45°, and 90°), and target orientation (0°, 45°, and 90°). Simulations were created from an EM SAR simulator called GRECOSAR, which took 3-D profiles of iceberg and ship targets and parameters necessary to closely mimic the real scenes. 3-D models of three icebergs were captured in a field study off the coast of Bonavista, Newfoundland, and Labrador, Canada in June 2017. Three generic ship models were sourced from an online inventory and scaled to a size equivalent to that of the iceberg targets. Real SAR image data were drawn from in-house data set collected from a complementary research program. Classifiers including support vector machine (SVM), Random Forest (RanFor), k-nearest neighbor (kNN), and neural network (NN) were trained with targets from modeled SAR data and then gradually mixed with real SAR data. Target classifier performance from the modeled target data was shown to be similar to classifiers trained entirely from real SAR data. The similarity in accuracy provides an indication of the validity of the modeled SAR data for this specific application.

The ANALGOR Online Inventory for Calibrating Analogical and Boolean Thinking in Normal Individuals

ive functionality in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) using pattern-matching is believed to involve circuitry associated with the left inferior frontal gyrus whereas abstractions based on Boolean logic require the medial frontal cortex. How preferences and aptitudes for these distinct mechanisms vary amongst clinically normal individuals is not well understood. The possible influence of cultural environments on such aptitudes has also not been extensively investi-gated. In this initial study, a cohort (n = 343) of English-speaking individuals from countries located on four continents (United States, United Kingdom, Australia, India) answered a fifteen-item ANALGOR survey, an online instru-ment designed to measure analogical and Boolean abstraction skills. Significant differences were observed between US scores on the one hand, and Australian and Indian scores on the other for analogical but not for Boolean abstractions. These initial observations await confirmation with larger cohorts.

Whose National Park Service? An Examination of Relevancy, Diversity, and Inclusion Programs from 2005–2016

As the U.S. population becomes more diverse, there has been a growing concern about the ability of the National Park Service (NPS) to remain relevant to individuals from different backgrounds, establish deeper connections with future generations, and to address the underrepresentation of diverse groups among national park visitors and in the NPS workforce. Implementing successful diversity and inclusion programs to foster relevancy, diversity and inclusion (RDI) is critical for the agency’s future. As the NPS implements RDI programs system wide, an assessment of current programs and initiatives is timely, providing information on the extent of follow-through, given policy directives and calls for increased focus on diversity in management. Thus, the purpose of this study was to catalogue NPS RDI programs targeting the areas of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, ability, age, economic status, gender, non-English speakers, tribal communities, urban populations, and veteran status, as well as examine some of the key characteristics related to the management and administration of these programs. In fall 2016, NPS employees were invited to participate in a comprehensive online inventory of RDI programs implemented between 2005 and 2016. A total of 161 park units participated, yielding a park unit response rate of 39%. A total of 1,359 RDI programs were reported, resulting in an average of 2.68 diversity aspects per program. Age (n=662; 17.7%), ethnicity (n=456; 12.2%), race (n=434; 11.6%), economic status (n=391; 10.4%), and urban population (n=361; 9.6%) were the dominant aspects of diversity reported across the RDI programs and initiates. The majority of the reported RDI programs (61.6%) were located in three regions: Northeast (n = 364; 26.8%), Midwest (n = 247; 18.2%), and Intermountain (n = 225; 16.6%) and concentrated in one of two emphasis areas: Co-creation and Community Engagement (n=563; 41.4%) and Connecting Youth with Our Mission (n=251; 18.4%). Nearly half of the identified programs (n=645; 47.5%) focused on an external audience such as visitors and 497 (36.6%) programs focused on both an external and internal audience. The number of new RDI programs has steadily increased from 16 new programs in 2006 to 256 new programs in 2016. Of the 1,359 RDI programs, 17.7% (n=240) of reported RDI programs are conducted annually. Internal funding supported 61.7% (n=838) of the reported RDI programs. For the collaboration structure, 42.8% (n=581) of programs collaborated internally and 53.9% (n=733) relied upon external collaborations. These findings were discussed based upon previous NPS management scholarship as well as Stanfield McCown’s (2011, 2012) conceptual model comprised of six connected themes critical to the success of NPS diversity efforts. The discussion also presented several managerial recommendations for the NPS such as refocusing efforts to broaden the amount of diversity aspects represented in RDI programming, creating more repeat programs to ensure youth and community members establish long-term relationships, initiating more RDI programs specifically for internal audiences, increasing external funding sources, and cultivating external partnerships to improve program sustainability.

The immediate and long-term effects of time perspective on Internet gaming disorder.

Backgrounds and aimsThis study focuses on the role of time perspective (TP) in Internet gaming disorder (IGD). An inventory-based study on 377 massive multiplayer online role playing game players was conducted, followed by a 3-year-follow-up in which 48 active players from the original sample participated. We proposed that TP factors (negative TP and future positive TP) will influence either the current presence of IGD symptoms or the further development of IGD over time. In other words, the effect of TP is stable. Finally, game usage patterns were analyzed in the sense of changes in playing time and IGD symptoms in gamers after 3 years.MethodsTo access the variables, two scales were administered through online inventory, the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory-short, and Charlton and Danforths’ Core Addiction Scale, both in 2012 (N = 377) and 2015 (N = 48). The amount of time that gamers usually spent playing were obtained through self-reports.ResultsThe study’s primary presumptions were confirmed. Both negative TP and future positive TP were confirmed as significant predictors of the presence of IGD symptoms, either immediately or in the following 3 years. Data on game usage showed a significant decrease in playing time and IGD symptoms between year 0 and year 3 of the study.

Integrated optimization of multiple warehouse replenishment for semiconductor manufacturing

With high variability of customer ordering in current marketing environment, it brings big challenges for manufacturers to adapt this kind variation with dynamic operation mechanism. From suppliers to manufactures and manufactures to customers, inventory management plays a critical role in the whole supply chain. In recent years, inventory problems are not limited to be solved with traditional economic mathematical model and lots of researchers focus their works on inventory optimization from supply chain perspectives. However, most of these models of inventory management are limited to be applied into external perspective of shop floor manufacturing process. Towards this end, it is necessary to develop a model which can be applied into internal perspective of factory and guide real on-line inventory of shop floor. This paper presents a dynamic inventory management method from multiple warehouse replenishment perspective. Within the shop floor environment of semiconductor manufacturing, the presented model is employed to optimize the inventory problem from internal and external perspectives of factory simultaneously. A computational simulation with the flexsim7.0 software is conducted to testify the proposed model and mechanism. The simulation results show that the improved solutions are achieved with the indicators of inventory quantity control, customer order fulfillment, and cycle time reduction.

Exploring the climates of undergraduate professionalism in a Saudi and a UK medical school

Aim: To explore the usefulness of an online inventory for tracking medical students’ understanding of the importance of lapses in academic integrity.Method: Respondents were asked to recommend sanctions for lapses as a proxy of their understanding of the importance of the 34 types of poor professionalism.Results: The data suggest that while there is congruence, there are also substantial differences between ratings of the importance of poor professionalism, particularly in relation to data integrity, between a cohort in Saudi Arabia and one in the UK.Conclusion: This resource may be useful both for teaching and learning in individual schools, and particularly for the induction of doctors into organisational environments different from the one they were trained in.

Validation of the Quantitative Diagnostic Thinking Inventory for Athletic Training: A Pilot Study

Context: The cognitive process of making a clinical decision lies somewhere on a continuum between novices using hypothetico-deductive reasoning and experts relying more on case pattern recognition. Although several methods exist for measuring facets of clinical reasoning in specific situations, none have been experimentally applied, as of yet, to the profession of athletic training. The Diagnostic Thinking Inventory (DTI) has been used with medical doctors and medical students to determine their level of clinical reasoning as it applies to diagnosis making.Objective: To validate the DTI for Athletic Training (DTI-AT) and associated interview questions for use in the field of athletic training.Design: Mixed methodology.Setting: Online inventory and Skype-based interviews.Patients or Other Participants: Convenience sample of 25 senior-level athletic training students.Main Outcome Measure(s): Participants completed an online version of the DTI-AT which rated clinical reasoning tendencies on a 6-point Likert-type scale. Quantitative analysis consisted of determining means and ranges of scores along with reliability of total scores and subset scores. Randomly selected participants were interviewed online in order to provide validity of interview questions that were used to determine personal and professional activities that are either thought to enhance or hinder clinical reasoning. A secondary purpose was to solicit specific feedback that may enhance our understanding of the modified DTI.Results: A strong reliability was found for total DTI (r(41) = 0.846) and an acceptable reliability for flexibility in thinking (r(21) = 0.731) and structure of memory (r(20) = 0.771).Conclusions: The modifications of the DTI-AT demonstrated strong reliability and face validity. The DTI-AT may be an effective tool for determining clinical reasoning of athletic training students.

To evaluate the Gender Differences in Learning Style Modalities among the Undergraduate Students and their Preferred Mode of Learning

ABSTRACT Background Academic demands of medical students are quite high. Learning styles may be classified into four major sensory modalities—visual, auditory, read-write and kinesthetic, that one most prefers to use when internalizing information. Objectives The purpose of the study was to evaluate the gender differences in learning style modalities among the First Year Undergraduate Students and their Preferred Mode of Learning. Methodology Total 243 first year students of various medical courses (135 MBBS, 56 BDS, and 52 BPT) attending lectures in the Department of Physiology, Mahatma Gandhi Medical College and Hospital, Jaipur, Rajasthan were included for the project. Learning style preference was identified using the visual, auditory, read-write and kinesthetic (VARK) online inventory developed by Fleming, 1992. A questionnaire was filled by the students which included their demographic profile, medical science stream and preferred sensory modality of instruction. Findings Learning style of the students of various medical courses showed a statistically significant difference according to VARK questionnaire (p < 0.0001). Within the group, based on VARK, the preferred Sensory Modality was kinesthetic in MBBS, BDS and BPT students. On the basis Preferred Sensory Mode, kinesthetic was the preferred mode in MBBS, BDS and visual mode amongst BPT students. The most common pattern of learning was bimodal in male and female students of the various medical courses. Conclusion Present findings suggest that kinesthetic was the preferred learning style by both individual preferred sensory modality and VARK inventory tool, and was found to be statistically significant among the students of medical and allied sciences. The gender differences when evaluated for both the individual preferred sensory modality and VARK inventory tool, it was found to have a predilection for the kinesthetic mode in both the male as well as female students.

Indonesia’s Implementation of Inventory Obligation under UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage Convention: Problems in the Online Inventories

Abstract:Article 12 of the Convention on the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, 2003, provides that the States Parties are under obligation at the national level to draw up one or more inventories of the intangible cultural heritage present in their respective territories. Indonesia has been a State Party to the Convention since 2007, but until now, no specific law on intangible cultural heritage has been enacted. In 2010, the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture, jointly with UNESCO, published the Practical Handbook for Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Indonesia. With the legal vacuum, the Handbook became a source for guidelines on the implementation of the inventory obligation in Indonesia; it provides that there shall be a manual inventory and an online inventory. However, in practice, there are two web sites functioning as online inventories, and the contents of the two web sites do not seem to reflect one of the Convention’s purposes, which is awareness. This article scrutinizes the contents of the publicly accessible online inventories and finds that the absence of statutory regulation has resulted in difficulties for those inventories to fulfill the purpose of awareness as mandated by the Convention.

The Untold Story: Examining Ontario’s Community Health Centres’ Initiatives to Address Upstream Determinants of Health

Unlike traditional primary care centres, part of the Community Health Centre (CHC) mandate is to address upstream health determinants. In Ontario, CHCs refer to these activities as Community Initiatives (CIs); yet, little is known about how CIs operate. The objective of this study was to examine the scope, resource requirements, partnerships, successes and challenges among selected Ontario CIs. We conducted qualitative interviews with 10 CHC staff members representing 11 CIs across Ontario. CIs were identified through an online inventory, recruited by e-mail and interviewed between March and June 2011. Most CIs aim to increase community participation, while addressing social isolation and poverty. They draw minimal financial resources from their CHC, and employ highly skilled staff to support implementation. Most enlist support from various partners, and use numerous methods for community engagement. Successes include improved community relations, increased opportunities for education and employment and rewarding partnerships, while insufficient funding was a commonly identified challenge. Despite minimal attention from researchers and funders, our findings suggest that CIs play key capacity-building roles in vulnerable communities across Ontario, and warrant further investigation.

Anchoring Memory in the Face of Disaster: Technology and Istanbul's Cultural Heritage Preservation Regime

Istanbul is the largest metropolitan area in Turkey, and is a historic meeting place of cultures, religions, and continents. Yet, Istanbul's invaluable tangible cultural heritage faces several risks from natural disasters -- the best known being earthquakes. The latest estimate is that there is a 50% probability that a 7.5 Richter scale earthquake will strike Istanbul within the next thirty years, leaving many dead and Istanbul's physical infrastructure, including many historic sites, in shambles. The questions, thus, is not if Istanbul will lose vital clusters of its cultural heritage, but when. This article argues that technology can help safeguard historic resources in Istanbul in several ways and encourages the relevant Turkish authorities to integrate technology more fully into their preservation planning and practices. First, I describe Istanbul’s efforts to establish an accessible, online inventory of historic resources and offer a powerful, but simple, method for expanding its reach: crowdsourcing. The second part discusses some of the latest technologies and techniques in digital preservation and suggest how Turkish authorities might use them to preserve Istanbul's cultural heritage. Finally, I outline the range of free, digital online resources available from multinational and national organizations that can provide expert guidance on how to protect cultural heritage from disaster and how to manage cultural heritage restoration post-disaster.

Social cataloguing: an overview for health librarians

This article is an overview of social cataloguing trends for health librarians. Although a number of articles in the literature discuss social bookmarking or folksonomic tagging [2–5], there is a paucity of information about social cataloguing and its relevance for health libraries. Social cataloguing refers to Web-based applications that allow users to tag and track books and other items in an online inventory or personal filing system [6] (see applications in Appendix A). Social cataloguing sites (SCSs), such as LibraryThing (http://www. librarything.com/) or Shelfari (http://www.shelfari.com/), make it possible for users to catalogue and discuss books with like-minded readers from around the world. In some ways, like other popular Web 2.0 tools such as YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/), Delicious (http://delicious.com/), and SlideShare (http://www. slideshare.net), SCSs facilitate “social discovery” and community collaboration by using tags (user-determined descriptors) to describe books and audiovisual media [6]. Put simply, tags contain information that a user might need to describe or retrieve the item in question and are not limited in number or scope. These descriptors are sometimes displayed in weighted lists as “tag clouds” or concept maps. With the exception of a few oblique references to the topic, the health library literature is surprisingly silent on the issue of social cataloguing [2,4,7]. A recent general paper in Library Hi Tech, however, looked at the possibility of augmenting the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) in library catalogues with the tags found in LibraryThing [8]. The authors found instances of concepts expressed as tags in LibraryThing that were missing from the more formal LCSH catalogue description. Their conclusion was that a hybrid system combining LCSH and folksonomic tags would result in richer metadata and, ultimately, a more multifaceted “visual” library catalogue. In terms of navigation and accessibility, this approach would give users the best of both worlds. As the volume of born-digital articles in biomedicine increases, there is a need to find novel ways to generate metadata for knowledge objects (i.e., scientific articles, books, audiovisual materials, and social media). Do social cataloguing practices hold at least part of the solution to the information glut created by Web 2.0? Tools such as LibraryThing (and even some of the new features in WorldCat) exemplify how principles of the 2.0 era (i.e., user tagging, commenting, and rating systems) can be integrated into catalogues to supplement libraries’ descriptive and organizational activities [9]. SCSs may also be critical in tagging articles in blogs and wikis — today’s version of grey literature — as well as medical photos and streaming videos archived on various sites.

The Mentoring Profile Inventory: an online professional development resource for cooperating teachers

We report on the origins, development and refinement of an online inventory to help cooperating teachers focus on selected dimensions of their practice. The Mentoring Profile Inventory (MPI) helps quantify important features of both the motivating and challenging aspects of mentoring student teachers and provides results to respondents in a graphic, easy-to-understand and immediate feedback report (14 sub-scales and 3 summary charts). Psychometric properties of the MPI are shown to be robust. Results can be used individually or collectively to facilitate cooperating teacher professional development by providing the opportunity for dialog around a set of common issues.

Evaluation of the healthy schools program: Part II. The role of technical assistance.

Evidence-based technical assistance may be needed to implement recent federal policy to prevent childhood obesity through the schools. The Healthy Schools Program is the largest school-based obesity prevention program in the United States. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the role of the program's training and technical assistance and to explore other contributing factors in changing school policies, practices, and environments. We analyzed interim progress of schools recruited during the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 school years as of December 2010. Schools reported progress through an online inventory of policies, practices, and school environment. We compared baseline inventories to the most recent follow-up and tracked both training attendance and contact with national experts. To identify the factors associated with progress, we performed regression analysis on school level and demographics, number of months between baseline and follow-up, and technical assistance. The amount of training and technical assistance was significantly associated with school progress, controlling for school level and demographics, number of months between baseline and follow-up, and school status at baseline. Although all types of schools saw progress, schools in the South had the most progress and urban schools had the least progress. Evidence-based training and technical assistance were associated with school progress in changing policies, practices, and environment to prevent childhood obesity.
