Fuzzy control algorithm for analyzing the effects of vocal music on college students’ social and emotional learning

Vocal music training for college students impacts the social and emotional aspects of better learning. This impact must be classified progressively to improve the social and musical connectivity coinciding with real-time emotions. Therefore, an intermittent analysis of music learning is required for augmenting socio-emotional changes to the learning method. This article introduces Impact-centric Learning Analysis (ILA) using the Fuzzy Control Algorithm (FCA) for the purpose above. The control algorithm operates in two linear stages: in the first stage, the socio-emotional impact of the learning on the students is analyzed, pursued by the learning changes in the second stage. This first stage inputs student activity scores based on real-time implications. The lowest scores are classified independently in the second stage, and learning changes are carried out. The learning change is targeted to meet the maximum (optimal) impact score from the first stage using fuzzy differentiations based on training sessions and student performance. Therefore, the proposed algorithm generates an optimal impact for the considered features (socio-emotional), preventing trivial vocal music sessions.

"They Don't See Us": Asian Students' Perceptions of Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment on Three California Public University Campuses.

Sexual violence and sexual harassment (SVSH) are prevalent among college and university students; however, the experiences of ethnic minority students, especially Asians, are understudied. This study aimed to reduce this gap by exploring Asian students' perceptions of SVSH on three public university campuses in Southern California. We examined their perceptions about the campus environment related to SVSH, attitudes, and behaviors toward help seeking, and utilization of on-campus resources. A total of 23 in-depth interviews were conducted with Asian students enrolled at the three University of California campuses. Thematic coding was conducted to generate main themes and subthemes. Five main themes emerged: (a) SVSH is considered a "taboo" topic in Asian culture and family systems, and Asian student survivors are often reluctant to disclose incidents or seek support services. (b) Students did not feel their campus environments were tailored to understand or meet the sociocultural realities and needs of Asian student survivors. (c) Campus SVSH services and reporting processes were seen as non-transparent. (d) Peers were the major source of support and SVSH information, as opposed to official campus-based resources and training. (e) Survivors often conduct an internal cost-benefit analysis evaluating their decision about whether to report. This study highlights the lack of conversation surrounding SVSH in Asian families, and how the cultural stigma of sex and sexual violence prevented Asian students from receiving knowledge and resources about these topics in their families. Instead of relying on formal campus resources (e.g., Title IX and confidential advocacy services, mental health services), many students turn to their peers for support. Thus, facilitating peer support groups, training university students to support each other through SVSH incidents, and tailoring campus services to the diverse cultural backgrounds of students are key considerations to foster a safe campus environment and prevent SVSH.

Firearm ownership and storage among US college students: results from the healthy minds study, 2021-2022.

The purpose of this study is to address a significant gap in knowledge on firearm ownership rates and storage characteristics in a national sample of college students. We used 2021-2022 survey data from the Healthy Minds Study, which included approximately 88,500 students at over 100 US colleges and universities. We conducted analyses using descriptive statistics and two-sample proportion tests. About 4% of respondents reported having a firearm on or around campus. Among firearm owners, 68.8% reported storing firearms at their permanent address within an hour's drive from campus, and 43.1% reported storing their firearms unloaded and locked. Firearm ownership rates were significantly higher for respondents who were positive for specific risk factors (i.e., in a relationship, suicide ideation, recent binge drinking, and having been physically assaulted) versus those who were negative. These findings support the need for targeted messaging and firearm safety training for college students to reduce firearm-related risks.

Analysis of the Psychological Factors Faced by the Final Year College Students of China During Job Interviews and While Choosing Careers.

Career choice research has attracted the attention of recruiters and young graduates. The study aims to investigate the psychological factors that influence college students' employment choices. As a result, data for the study were gathered from 250 final-year college students in China via an online questionnaire survey. The study identified the psychological barriers faced by college students during job interviews through interviews with 120h recruiters. The SPPS tool is used for data analysis. The study identified personal interest, self-efficacy, and self- esteem; social responsibilities; confidence; professional development opportunities; and future orientation as the important psychological factors that influence the career choice of college students. The study also found that the barriers faced by the college students during the interview were anxiety, inferiority complex, cowardice, and pride. Therefore, the study suggests that the college provides job-oriented training for college students' employment choices. The college should take the initiative to provide students with career opportunities and proper training to avoid psychological barriers during interviews.

Research on the development of college students’ sports program based on multi-objective optimization algorithm

Abstract In recent years, the physical fitness of college students has been declining year by year, which has become the focus of national concern. In this paper, firstly, the human body motion tracking based on a multi-objective optimization algorithm is applied in the auxiliary training of college students’ sports to provide data support for the formulation of sports plans, and the Chebyshev function evolution calculation is used to obtain the Pareto optimal solution for sports training. Secondly, the similarity function between the two-dimensional projection of the skeleton and the silhouette of the image is established in the constructed human body model so as to calculate the multi-objective optimization function. The optimized training plan was specifically analyzed after analyzing the sports assessment of college students in X school. The results show that compared with the conventional training plan, the optimized training plan has more sports load intensity indexes distributed between 1.5 and 2.0, indicating that the plan is more scientific and effective. The research presented in this paper can be a valuable resource for the creation of sports programs for college students.

Revitalization at a Distance: Engaging Digital Archives for Language Reclamation

Abstract: In this paper, we describe collaborative work in progress on reclamation projects between Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Australia and the Chirila project. These projects were created in response to a need for language work which was responsive to community needs in different regions of Australia, but where the work could also be done remotely: that is, aiding reclamation work without taking attention away from local collaborations within families or schools. Such work does not in any way replace language work on the ground, and community-internal language work, but it can augment existing projects and continue connections while we cannot meet in person, as well as provide undergraduate linguistics students with in depth training in language documentation. In this article, we discuss how the bootcamps work and the types of materials that are particularly suited to this style of collaboration. We describe the types of materials that are produced and how these can feed into community language programs. We describe how the bootcamps use collaboration "at a distance" to train university students in ethics and community partnerships, and comment on how the projects have worked from both the community and university perspective. We stress, however, that this is only one possible model of remote collaboration.

Analysis of the Path of Improving English Listening and Speaking Ability Based on Big Data Technology

Abstract The training of college students’ English listening and speaking skills needs to be individualized scientifically and strategically in order to get a qualitative improvement. In this paper, we first analyze the correlation between students’ listening and speaking skill levels by using the improved maximum information coefficient (MIC) with the aid of an online platform. The students’ listening ability is assessed by the plain Bayesian algorithm, trained by the neural network to reduce the error, and the similarity between the feature vector and each pattern is calculated so that the element that obtains the highest value is used as the candidate mapping. Next, the schema mapping of data distribution (SMDD) method is combined to obtain the best matching schema. Finally, the effectiveness of English listening and speaking training with the Smart Teaching Platform was investigated through controlled experiments. The results show that in the post-test speech scores, the experimental group’s increase in speech scores was 2.322, while the control group’s increase was only 0.652. The effectiveness of the English listening and speaking ability training strategy is evident due to the obvious difference. This study proposes rational suggestions for improving college students’ English listening and speaking abilities.

Feasibility of designing a cloud-based platform for entrepreneurship training of college students

Abstract This paper aims to improve college students’ entrepreneurial abilities as its main goal. A platform for college students’ entrepreneurship development is constructed using cloud technology, and the entrepreneurship data on the platform is classified and divided by combining it with the KNN algorithm. The algorithm is optimized for distance calculation and distance sorting stages to reduce inter-program dependencies and shorten the program execution time. The distance between matrices is calculated by calling the functions in the cublas function library. The experimental data are used to analyze the feasibility of entrepreneurship training for college students. The results show that the KNN algorithm can be applied to data processing in cloud computing. When the data dimension is 128 and the number of sample points is 215, the algorithm can get a maximum speedup of 1.52 times. The server configuration of the platform needs to be in a 4-way dual-core or 4-core to ensure the platform’s normal operation. This study is beneficial in promoting the improvement and development of entrepreneurial skills for college students.

Interdisciplinary approach to professional training of pre-service foreign language teachers at university

Introduction. An important problem of preparing university students to future professional activity following the principles of sustainable development enunciated by the UNO dictates the need for the use of teaching techniques and methods that allow students to form a holistic worldview, develop critical thinking skills and the need for learning and self-development throughout their lives. The preparation of students to live and work under dynamically changing social and economic conditions and multi-tasking of job responsibilities is presently being solved by various educational technologies based on the principles of interactivity and interdisciplinarity. The aim of this research is the experimental organization of the training of pre-service foreign language teachers on the principles of interdisciplinary approach. Methods and materials. The following methods were used for the data collection and interpretation: analysis of university documentation, survey by means of questionnaire and interview, observation, Wilcoxon rank sum test. The sample group was represented by the third-year students of Novosibirsk State Technical University, majoring in Theory and Methodology of Teaching Foreign Languages and Cultures, Linguistics program. The research was carried out during the period of two years (2020-2022). The total number of students participating in experimental learning is 48. Results. The choice of the groups with the third-year students was defined by the results of the previous research indicating the decrease of learning motivation among the third-year students (37 %) in comparison with students of other years of university studying – 1st year (68%), 2nd year (54%) and 4th year (74%). The reliability of the data was confirmed by the Wilcoxon T-test at Temp <Tcr (at the level of 0.01), where Temp =1, and Tcr has values from 3 to 8 (Tcr=3 (p≤0.01), Tcr=8 (p≤0.01 0.05)). The analysis of the experimental data indicates the relevance of interdisciplinary approach to training pre-service foreign language teachers because of the high motivational potential stimulating interest to future profession. In replying to the questionnaire the respondents recognized the necessity to use interdisciplinary approach in education (‘yes’ and ‘rather yes that no’) – 91,6%, its positive influence on developing professional competence – 89,5 % and doing practical tasks of future professional sphere – 95,8 %. Conclusion. The application of interdisciplinary approach to training university students motivates them to study the chosen profession. That is why it necessitates the importance of further research into organizational arrangements and methodology of its implementation in the university practice.

Development and evaluation of a virtual reality basic life support for undergraduate students in Thailand: a project by Mae Fah Luang University (MFU BLiS VR)

BackgroundIn traditional basic life support training for university students or the public, trainees practice simulations only once or twice during the course, potentially limiting their competence. In contrast, virtual reality allows trainees to independently study and practice as often as needed, enhancing their skills. This research and development project aimed to develop and evaluate a novel learning device, virtual reality basic life support for undergraduate students of Mae Fah Luang University (MFU BLiS VR).MethodsThis study employed a two-group, pre- and post-test design, involving seventy students (n = 35 in each group) from Mae Fah Luang University, Thailand. Data were collected from March 2022 to January 2023. The experimental group received the MFU BLiS VR, in addition to traditional teaching, while the control group received only traditional teaching. Data analysis employed descriptive statistics, Chi-square, Mann-Whitney U test, and Wilcoxon signed ranks test.Results“MFU BLiS VR” provided a learning experience in out-of-hospital basic life support for adult patients in four scenarios: (1) a person who was not breathing but had a pulse; (2) a person who was not breathing, had no pulse, and required defibrillation; (3) a person who was not breathing, had no pulse, and did not require defibrillation; and (4) a person with normal breathing and pulse but was unconscious. Each scenario was presented sequentially from scenario one to scenario four. The scenarios encompassed common and complex situations requiring prompt and effective bystander responses to save lives. The results revealed that the experimental group had a significantly shorter no-flow time compared to the control group (Z = -5.02, p < .001) and achieved significantly higher knowledge scores than the control group (Z = -3.39, p < .01) as well as superior practical skills (Z = -7.26, p < .001). Both groups reported the highest satisfaction levels in all aspects, with no significant differences.ConclusionMFU BLiS VR is an effective training approach for teaching and learning basic life support and the use of an automated electronic defibrillator. It captures students’ attention and enhances their understanding of these essential life support skills, which are crucial for everyone.

Intervention analysis of CBT and entrepreneurship training for college students’ social anxiety

BackgroundSocial Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is a common mental disorder characterized by intense fear and anxiety in social situations. Social anxiety may prevent college students from actively participating in social activities and innovative entrepreneurial practices, thus affecting their personal growth and career development. The combination of cognitive behavioral therapy and college innovation and entrepreneurship training is expected to provide a comprehensive and effective method for the intervention of college students with social anxiety disorder.Subjects and Methods120 college students with social anxiety disorder were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 60 people in each group. The experimental group received 10 weeks of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) combined innovation and entrepreneurship training, while the control group only received innovation and entrepreneurship training. Social anxiety and cognitive status were assessed using the Stanford Acute Stress Response Questionnaire and the 3-Minute Disorder Assessment Scale. SPSS23.0 was used for descriptive statistics, analysis of variance and correlation analysis.Results The social anxiety of the experimental group was significantly reduced, and the SASRQ score was significantly reduced compared with the control group. The experimental group performed better on the 3D-CAM score, indicating improved cognitive status.ConclusionsCognitive behavioral therapy combined with innovation and entrepreneurship training has a significant intervention effect on the social anxiety disorder of college students, which is helpful in improving their social ability and innovation and entrepreneurship potential. This comprehensive intervention strategy has a positive significance in promoting the overall development and mental health of college students.

Guided psychotherapy combined with innovation and entrepreneurship training for college students: relationship embedding analysis framework

BackgroundAnxiety disorder (AD) is considered one of the most difficult mental disorders to treat. The important factors causing this disease are negative self-awareness and excessive attention to negative emotional stimuli, which are related to excessive activity in the emotion generating brain area and cognitive control brain area imbalance. This study uses guided psychotherapy combined with innovation and entrepreneurship training for college students to intervene in their employment anxiety.Subjects and Methods74 individuals with high anxiety traits with a total score of over 63 (N=65) were screened among college students. Anxiety students were randomly divided into a conventional group and an experimental group. Leibowitz Anxiety Scale (LAS) was used. The conventional group of 37 people used normal guided psychotherapy, while the experimental group used guided psychotherapy combined with innovation and entrepreneurship training for college students to intervene in their employment anxiety.ResultsBefore the intervention, there was no significant difference in the scores of LAS, Shyness Scale, Self Rating Depression Scale, Fear Negation Scale, Self Efficacy Scale, and Trust Scale between the two groups. After the intervention, the scores of the experimental group were lower than those of the conventional group. The LAS scale scores of the experimental group significantly decreased.ConclusionsGuided psychotherapy combined with innovation and entrepreneurship training for college students can effectively alleviate students’ employment anxiety, and the guidance effect on anxiety is more sustainable compared to conventional methods.AcknowledgementResearch and Practice of Digital Resource Construction for the Academic Guidance of Master of Statistics in Tianjin University of Commerce in 2022 Graduate Education and Teaching Reform Research Project.

Theoretical and practical aspects of professional image formation in the process of development of professional speaking competence of college students

The article updates the problem of professional image formation in the process of developing the professional speech competence of college students. It is emphasized that the study of the student’s image is especially relevant today. It is up-to-date as the requirements for the future professional, as for a modern competitive specialist, are constantly growing. There are analyzed modern scientific approaches to the interpretation of the concepts of “image” and "professional image". It was found that the professional image is the image that must be created purposefully and consciously in order to achieve professional and personal goals, professional growth and self-development. There are defined structural components of the specialist’s image: external, procedural and internal. The external component includes facial expressions, gestures, timbre and strength of voice, clothes, manners, gait. Appearance can create a positive mood at work. Or on the contrary, it can hinder understanding, facilitating or hindering communication and interaction between people. The procedural component of the image is specified by such forms of communication as professionalism, plasticity, expressiveness, etc. The internal component is focused on the inner world of a person, ideas about his spiritual and intellectual development, values, interests, personality in general. It was concluded that a characteristic feature of image training is its communicative orientation. That is why the article proposes to use educational methods focused on contact and interaction. It ensures the construction of a dialogue, in the formation of the professional image of junior professional bachelors. It is suggested using training and dialogue, among the most effective forms of interactive training of college students. The article presents the training “Professional image” aimed at forming a certain image in the process of developing the professional speech competence of college students. It includes verbal and non-verbal parts. The developed training is designed for eight lessons, which do not exclude invariance. They can be replaced, shortened and included in the structure of any lesson from various educational disciplines, in particular “Psychology” or “Ukrainian language (for professional direction”.

Extended group decision making method for quality evaluation of mental health education of college students with hesitant triangular fuzzy information

Mental health education (MHE) is an indispensable and fundamental content for schools to cultivate high-quality, high-standard, and high-quality talents, which has attracted sufficient attention and widespread attention in the educational community. Due to the impact of various factors such as society, family, and oneself, the overall psychological quality of Chinese college students is poor, their thinking is relatively childish, they cannot calmly face new problems and situations in life, and they feel vague and confused about life, ideals, and goals Confusion and other psychological barriers are becoming more and more common. If effective psychological crisis intervention is not available, it will seriously affect their learning and personality development, and is not conducive to talent growth. In recent years, Huaibei Vocational and Technical College has placed psychological quality education at the top of its list, providing good psychological quality training for college students, improving their psychological endurance, eliminating negative attitudes and psychological barriers, and promoting their mental health and sustainable development. The quality evaluation of MHE of college students is a classical multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems. Recently, the TODIM and VIKOR method has been used to cope with MAGDM issues. The hesitant triangular fuzzy sets (HTFSs) are used as a tool for characterizing uncertain information during the quality evaluation of MHE of college students. In this manuscript, the hesitant triangular fuzzy TODIM-VIKOR (HTF-TODIM-VIKOR) method is built to solve the MADM under HTFSs. In the end, a numerical case study for quality evaluation of MHE of college students is given to validate the proposed method.
