The fight against poverty in the Peruvian Andes is a complex task in which various professionals, such as engineers, economists, anthropologists, among others, participate. The uncertainty of the decisions taken today, no matter how appropriate they may seem, such as million-dollar investments in irrigation infrastructure, can result in over-production and, therefore, in economic recessions. For…

Teaching tax-related regulations have always been a challenge due to the inclusion of external variables that hinder the learning process, such as the high complexity of tax systems and legislation variability. Universities have sought different alternatives to support the teaching process both outside and inside the classroom, ranging from recreational activities to active learning. This…

Preventive care approaches have attracted much attention in Japan, which is one of the world’s most super-aged societies. These approaches aim to decrease the number of people who require nursing care or other human support. Our research group has developed several kinds of preventive care systems, including a fall prevention system, a cognitive training system,…

Objective: Individuals with aphasia often experience significant problems in their daily lives and social participation. Technologies that address speech and language disorders deficit in merging between therapist’s major role and reinforcing the training between sessions at home. It also lacks the Arabic language attention; however, current systems are typically expensive and lack amusement. Moreover, cumulative…

Social skills and resilience are very important aspects for mental health; therefore, it is necessary to take into account the positive contribution in the development of adolescents, they are in a vulnerable stage, adapting to physical, mental, emotional, etc. changes. Adolescents, not knowing how to handle the difficulties that may arise, if they do not…

ECG analysis is commonly used by medical practitioners and cardiologists for monitoring cardiac health. A high-performance automatic ECG classification system is a challenging area because there is difficulty in detecting and clustering various waveforms in the signal, especially in the manual analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. In this paper, an accurate (ECG) classification and monitoring…

The research will explore the challenges of using local water sources inside the city for a self-sufficient urban water supply by developed a system dynamics model. This study aims to evaluate and understand the Pesanggrahan River appropriateness as a raw drinking water source through a conceptual model that can accurately represent the interactions between the…

In this paper we design a large scale reconfigurable digital bio-inspired computing model. We consider the reconfigurable and event driven parameters in the developed field-programmable neuromorphic computing system. The various Intellectual Property (IP) cores are developed for the modules such as Block RAM, Differential Clock, Floating Point, and First In First Out (FIFO) for the…

To have enough information on time can be helpful when companies try to reduce costs and operate more efficiently. An international company that supplies parts for the automotive industry is currently testing its new facilities in Mexico. The relocation of the raw materials and finished goods warehouses were tested using a P-Median model. The operating…

The European drone market has been showing steady growth year after year. New EU drone rules will come into force as of July 1st, 2020, with the European Union setting itself the target to replace national rules with a common regulation with the ultimate goal of creating a harmonized European drone market. This study will…

Modern microcontrollers are capable to realize not only traditional PID-regulators but also adaptive ones. Object of control parameters estimation is the biggest part of adaptive control from the point of view of time consumption. The ways to reduce this time for digital control systems based on ARM-CORTEX 32-bit and 64-bit processors are shown in the…

It is difficult to accurately segment brain MRI in the complex structures of brain tumors, blurred borders, and external variables such as noise. Much research in developing as well as developed countries show that the number of individuals suffering tumor of the brain has died as a result of the inaccurate diagnosis. The proposed article,…

Dry Eye Disease (DED) is one of the commonly occurring chronic disease today, affecting the vision of eye. It causes severe discomfort in eye, visual disturbance and blurred vision impacting the quality of life of patients. Due to recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and rapid progress of analytics techniques, several image modality based computerized…

Limited functionalities of the Academic Progress Information System (SIsKA) has direct consequences on the quality of thesis management service at the authors’ magister study program of the authors’ university.
