Product Recommendations

Product recommendations, or PRs, are becoming more and more popular every day. Product recommendations are an e-commerce customization strategy that creates products for a customer on a webpage, application, or email on a continual basis based on information such user attributes, browsing habits, or situational context, creating a personalized shopping experience. The recommendation system predicts or suggests a product based on the customer's preferences. Several e-commerce websites have adopted product suggestion systems in the modern day. A website that enables anyone to purchase and sell digital goods, services, and tangible items without needing to visit a physical store. An e-commerce website allows a business to handle customer service, shipping and logistics, payments, and orders. A recommendation may be of any kind. As an example, Spotify may be used to propose music, and movies YouTube for videos, Netflix, the Play Store (for several categories), and so on. To suggest products based on user preferences, a variety of filtering techniques and algorithms were employed. Machine Learning Techniques (MLT) that were currently in use for product recommendation were covered in this study. With these methods, an algorithm is utilized to forecast or suggest comparable things based on the user's input.

Manufacturing issues with 3D-printed gears mechanical properties

Additive manufacturing, often known as 3D printing, is substantially revolutionizing the industrial environment by turning new ideas into tangible items. This technology promotes innovation in various industries, like healthcare, aerospace and automotive, by allowing for the development of sophisticated, one-of-a-kind designs while reducing waste and expenses. Prompting improvements in production, additive manufacturing demonstrates a great deal of design variation while also being very efficient.

The security of a system is a critical issue that cannot be overlooked, no matter how well-designed the system may initially appear. This is because security involves protecting an organization's assets, which can range from tangible items like web pages and customer databases to intangible aspects such as the company's reputation. Given that security is a fundamental requirement, it is essential for organizations to incorporate security elements into their systems. A common system within organizations is the web-based application, which not only offers reliable services to users—both potential and existing customers—but also helps safeguard the organization's reputation and ensures the continuity of future business engagements. Currently, evaluations of web-based applications primarily focus on aspects such as usability, user satisfaction, and user acceptance, often neglecting the security evaluation aspect. This paper will discuss the criteria needed to evaluate web-based applications from a security perspective. The proposed criteria will be applied in evaluating the Higher Institute of Science and Technology, Ragdalin Portal, as a case study in which a website designer was interviewed and asked questions related to the proposed criteria to identify the security vulnerabilities of web-based applications. This research paper will include an analysis based on this evaluation, with the hope that these evaluations can be used to develop better security practices for both the Higher Institute of Science and Technology Ragdalin portal and web applications in general in the future.

Addressing Prompt Dependency in the Treatment of Challenging Behavior Maintained by Access to Tangible Items.

Prompt dependency is a common concern for individuals with developmental disabilities, particularly autism spectrum disorder. Previous research has shown that different interventions can be used to decrease prompt dependency. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of various treatments to decrease prompt dependency during functional communication training in the treatment of challenging behavior maintained by access to tangible items in a 16-year-old female diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Specifically, we compared the effects of differential reinforcement, vocal prompt fading, extended response intervals, and full physical prompts with a constant prompt delay to increase independent functional communication responses. The results of the study suggest that the prompt dependency treatment evaluation was efficacious in increasing independent functional communication responses and subsequently reducing challenging behavior to zero rates.

Teaching Core Values through Physical Activity Using a Tangible Item

To foster positive youth development (PYD), sport organizations, programs, coaches, and program leaders should use holistic youth development in a pro-social manner and provide a nurturing climate. This article offers an idea for a tangible way to promote PYD in sport and physical activity settings via a patch system.

Association change and its relationship with designs in context and form: how product evaluation is affected by negative framings

This study explores the interplay between internal factors (e.g. personal values) and external factors (e.g. product framing and representation form) in shaping user perceptions, attitudes and behaviours towards products. A between-participants experiment (N = 52) was designed using deliberately an iconic product (Haribo gummy bears) to be presented either as image or a tangible item, as well as framed either positively or negatively. The aim is to examine the impact of these manipulated internal and external factors on users’ evaluations and their subsequent behaviour. The effects of framing, and markedly negative framing, were considerably larger than those of forms of representations, whose role was limited for the studied product. However, the effect of framing on evaluations is amplified after interacting with the real product. Despite its significance, negative product framing cannot change behaviour as much as user personal values. These insights suggest designers pay attention to how products are portrayed to potential users. Particular attention should be paid to aligning products with the personal values of the target users since this turned as the main determinant for product appreciation. Hence, this research urges designers to pay attention to the fact that products have to resonate with users so to enhance their acceptance.

Alleviating stressfeeding in the emergency department: Elucidating the tensions induced by workplace lactation space issues.

Women remain underrepresented in the emergency medicine (EM) workforce, academic EM, and institutional leadership. In order to support women physicians in EM, we must explore factors that contribute to attrition and workplace satisfaction. For example, tensions between workplace and familial roles are important to consider as women navigate careers in EM. The logistics and stressors of workplace lactation pose a particular challenge during an already stressful time for a new mother returning to work in a busy emergency department (ED), but limited empirical data exist regarding this experience. We aimed to explore the stressors associated with workplace lactation spaces in order to better inform the creation of lactation spaces for individuals working in EDs. Our team used an exploratory qualitative design to investigate lactation-specific stressors and understand their relationship to individuals' needs when lactating in EM workplace environments. A total of 40 individuals were interviewed, highlighting post-pregnancy return-to-work (RTW) experiences of medical students, residents, advanced practice professionals, nurses, fellows, and faculty. Interviews were coded and analyzed using thematic analysis. We identified both tangible and intangible characteristics of lactation spaces that contribute to stress for lactating individuals. Additionally, we discovered that participants frequently noted a desire to work simultaneously while pumping in order to feel they were self-actualizing in their dual roles of parent and clinician. Among tangible items, access to a computer within lactation space was a key driver of ability to fulfill dual roles. Among intangible characteristics, we identified three distinct, yet interrelated, subthemes, including the need for lactation spaces to be respectful of individuals' time, privacy, and general health and well-being. This study suggests that meeting basic lactation needs with thoughtfully designed lactation spaces can empower individuals in their roles both as a lactating parent and a clinician. EM leadership can evaluate existing lactation spaces to ensure they meet the tangible and intangible needs of lactating physicians, trainees, advanced practice professionals, and nurses.

Hearing Behavioral Messages: Avoiding Misinterpretation to Make Effective, Inclusive Decisions

AbstractBehavior is a form of communication. For many young children, they may engage in certain behaviors to consciously or subconsciously communicate a need to access something, such as a desired adult or peer, sensory stimulation, or a tangible item. Other times, children may engage in a behavior to escape or avoid something, such as a particular environment. Sometimes the behaviors in which young children engage can be interpreted as challenging, based on the perceptions of those who work with the child, including the child’s early childhood teacher. These interpretations of challenging behavior derive from one’s own cultural backgrounds, beliefs, and biases. Such interpretations can lead to discriminatory discipline practices, particularly against children from marginalized and minoritized backgrounds. Instead, teachers can consider the behavioral messages expressed by the children they work with from an unbiased perspective, identify if the behavior in which the child is engaging is truly challenging, and implement appropriate intervention if necessary. The purpose of this paper is to present a plan for hearing behavioral messages of marginalized and minoritized children in a way that systematically addresses their needs while also considering the potential mismatch between teacher and child identities.

Optimized Attention Enhanced Temporal Graph Convolutional Network Espoused Research of Intelligent Customer Service System based on Natural Language Processing Technology

ABSTRACT Consumers have begun to move their attention away from product functioning and toward value probably extracted from items. Companies have begun to use customer service systems (CSS) in response to this trend, which are business models that give clients with not solitary tangible items as well as intangible facilities. Even with substantial investigation on Smart CSS frameworks, rare of this frameworks considered customers active data producers actively creating data for the Smart CSS. Furthermore, the majority of them offered a generic remedy rather than a personalized one. To classify customer service systems, performance metrics, such as precision, accuracy, F1-score, Recall (Sensitivity), Specificity, Error rate, Computation time, and RoC are considered. The performance of AETGCN-NGOA-CSS approach attains 19.11%, 24.12% and 28.13% high specificity, 24.93%, 23.04%, and 9.51% lower computation time, 15.2%, 25.45% and 13.91% higher ROC and 8.45%, 20.98%, and 27.55% higher accuracy compared with existing methods, such as developing personalized recommendation system in smart product service system depend on unsupervised learning model (CSS-BERT), Cognitive Decision-Making approaches in Data-driven Retail Intelligence: Consumer Sentiments, Choices, Shopping Behaviors (CSS-CDMA), e-Commerce Online Intelligent Customer Service System under Fuzzy Control (CSS-FFNN), respectively.

Raw Material Control Production of Crumble Type Chicken Animal Feed at PT Japfa Comfeed Indonesia, Tbk.

. Raw materials are tangible items used in production which can be obtained from natural sources or 
 purchased from suppliers or companies that produce raw materials for the industry that uses them. MRP (Material Requirement Planning) According to Haizer and Render (2005: 160) the material requirement planning method is a bound demand technique that uses materials, inventory, estimated receipts, and master production schedules to determine the amount of material. Inventory control is a very important managerial function for the Company, material requirements planning is a planning system that focuses on the amount and time of finished goods requested 
 which then determines the derivative demand for raw materials. From inventory control, it can be seen from the MRP 
 calculation how much raw material PPIC must order, so that there is no shortage of raw materials or no inventory at all.And the results of MRP for one year or 12 periods can be known how much raw material must be provided for production in a year that will be data.

Community Extension Programs Valuation as Basis in Proposing Higher Education Institutions as the Donation Program Facility Operating Partners

Establishing the centralized donation program facilities proposes the cooperation of selected higher education institutions per city or municipality where the facility will be located. The Commission on Higher Education’s directive to conduct community extension programs as part of the four-fold functions is an important role of a higher education institution to include communities to serve and help alleviate the standard of living. Community extension service is about relationships and community building through different related programs where activities are aimed at empowering people through long-term programming. The community extension programs of an HEI allow educational programs to reach and “touch the lives” of communities and the environment by providing services that transmit knowledge and technologies to have an impact on holistic and sustainable development programs and people empowerment. This study was conducted to provide a basis to justify the partnership between the educational institution, local government unit, and the proposed donation facility. The study used the Logic Model which is a visual representation of the relationship between a program’s resources, actions, and expected outcomes in assessing the community extension programs of selected higher education institutions. Logic models demonstrate how interventions affect behavior and achieve a goal straightforwardly and succinctly. The Logic Model was a road map outlining causal pathways and the step-by-step relationship between planned activity and desired outcomes. A logic model, in particular, is a visual representation of the resources or inputs required to perform a program, the activities and outputs of a program, and the expected program outcomes. Using the model, the researcher began with the inputs and actions and worked forward. Before starting the process, a clear and complete understanding of the specific research objective was addressed including the analysis of the existing data and pertinent research, as well as performing a formal or informal assessment of available capacity, inputs, and needs was conducted. This used indicators such as the resources required to carry out the activities (inputs), what to do with the resources (activities), tangible items and capabilities (outputs), changes in other individuals or conditions as a result of the activities and outputs (outcomes), distant results (effects) and contextual elements that are outside the program’s control but may aid or impede the achievement of the outcomes. Keywords: Logic model, community extension programs, higher education institution extension progra

Environmental restoration as a reinforcer in ritualistic contexts

AbstractWe conducted a functional analysis of severe problem behavior (aggression, disruption, and self‐injury). The analysis examined four potential socially mediated functions: attention, escape, receipt of tangible items, and restoration of environmental items. Restoration involved the experimenter replacing missing puzzle pieces, ring stacker rings, and shape sorter blocks without giving the items to the participant. An initial multielement functional analysis, followed by a brief pairwise comparison identified restoration of environmental items as the variable maintaining the participant's problem behavior. Subsequently, we conducted brief functional communication training to teach the participant to mand for restoration of disturbed items in the absence of problem behavior.

Influence of Stigmatization on Mental Health Disorders among Children Associated with Armed Forces or Armed Groups in Borno State: How Important is Perceived Social Support?

This research examined the mediating role of perceived social support in the relationship between stigmatization and mental health disorders among Children Associated with Armed Forces or Armed Groups (CAAFAGs). The cross-sectional survey involved 169 CAAFAGs selected from 7 Local Government Areas in Borno State who were within the age range of 7 – 17 years with the mean age of 13.48 years (Std.=3.01). The multi-stage sampling involving stratified and purposive techniques was used in selecting the participants. Data were collected using the Stigma Scale, Interpersonal Support Evaluation List (ISEL)–12, and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS). Results from data analysis showed that stigmatization contributed a large percentage to the overall mental health disorders observed among Children Associated with Armed Forces or Armed Groups (CAAFAGs). Specifically, CAAFAGs who were discriminated against had difficulty disclosing their status, exhibited self-stigma and tended to suffer higher mental health disorders (i.e. depression, anxiety and stress). Furthermore, it was found that, although perceived social support could not completely eliminate the effect of stigmatization on mental health disorders, it has the potential to lower the effect of stigmatization (which indicates partial mediation). It was therefore recommended that apart from supporting the CAAFAGs with tangible items like food, water, clothing and shelter, the government and NGOs should further hold community reintegration workshops, dialogue, mediation on reintegration challenges and social cohesion activities that are capable of building the children’s self-esteem and further enhancing their mental health.

Functional Communication Training Without the Removal of a Tangible Item

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) engage in challenging behavior that can result in missing out on potential reinforcers. A common intervention for challenging behavior is functional communication training (FCT). In FCT, the clinician reinforces an appropriate communicative response using the same reinforcer maintaining the challenging behavior. In some cases, the challenging behavior is too severe for traditional FCT procedures to efficiently teach a new response. In this case study, we treated a 4-year-old boy with ASD referred to as Mostafa using a modified version of FCT. We did not include a typical component of traditional FCT procedures – the removal of the putative reinforcer prior to the trial. Instead, we provided components of toys and games contingent on the appropriate communication response. None of the components had to be removed to continue conducting learning trials. Mostafa’s communication increased and challenging behavior decreased as a result of this modification. This modification may be useful for other cases in which the removal of a tangible item interferes with learning a communication response.

Islamic Education Media in Hadith

The educational media utilized by Prophet Muhammad (SAW) reflects a holistic approach in delivering Islamic teachings. Prophet Muhammad employed various media, including two-dimensional and three-dimensional visual aids such as charts, graphs, posters, images, and maps, as well as projected aids like films, slides, and PowerPoint presentations. Furthermore, he distinguished media based on their material nature, comprising tangible items such as the Qur'an, elements of nature, depictions of the worldly and afterlife scenes, and intangible elements like exemplary behavior, directives, and rewards or punishments.Educational media not only varies in form but also encompasses observable objects, images, lines, and the evolution of modern educational media like video, audio, and films. In the context of learning, the presence of media plays a crucial role in facilitating material delivery, simplifying complex concepts, and aiding the understanding of learners. This approach, as applied by Prophet Muhammad, provides insights for the development of improved and relevant Islamic educational media within the modern educational context.
