Global changes caused by the IV Industrial revolution and globalization processes resulted in a redistribution of roles of participants in innovative infrastructures of countries. Universities are leading both in terms of generating R&D products and in terms of developing business activities. Now there is a problem of insufficient methodological support of technological universities for pricing…

The non-selective second language course at vocational colleges and universities makes teachers strive at fostering students’ motivation to learn by choosing from a variety of enhancing factors. Teacher’s personality and skills if they comply with pedagogical ethics are considered to be inspiring for students to learn. The aim of this piloting study was to collect…

In their verbal interactions, humans are often afforded with language barriers and communication problems and disabilities. This problem is even more serious in the fields of education and health care for children with special needs. The use of robotic agents, notably humanoids integrated within human groups, is a very important option to face these limitations.…

Trust is essential in many interdependent human relationships. Trustworthiness is measured via the effectiveness of the relationships involving human perception. The decision to trust others is often made quickly (even at zero acquaintance). Previous research has shown the significance of voice in perceived trustworthiness. However, the listeners’ characteristics were not considered. A system has yet…

The field of humanitarian logistics has in recent times gained an increasing attention from both academics and practitioners communities alike. Although various research groups have addressed theoretical and technical developments in humanitarian logistics using conventional research tools, applied research appears to be often dependent on practitioners’ inputs. This paper is an attempt to fill the…

Face explicitly provides the direct and quick way to evaluate human soft biometric information such as race, age and gender. Race is a group of human beings who differ from human beings of other races with respect to physical or social attributes. Race identification plays a significant role in applications such as criminal judgment and…

The increasing cost of fishmeal and soybean meal forces us to look for unconventional sources of protein to feed guinea pigs, being able to use earthworm meal Eisenia foetida (EF) with 60-80% high quality raw protein; for this, the contribution of digestible nutrients and metabolizable energy must be known to formulate rations. The objective is…

All trucks heading into the paper mill MONDI, Slovakia, have to pass an automatic security check. It controls if storage of its wood load meets all standards of safety. Each truck is scanned by a group of 2D scanners. After that the inspection of timber load is done by a software with use of the…

The research presents a statistical analysis that characterize the environment of the admitted students to Higher Public Education Institutions, by providing an overview of student’s distribution to the courses of studies offered by universities in Albania, such as, economy, medicine, technical etc., and grouping them according to the relative density of 38 (thirty eight) administrative…

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. This research focused on the significant improvement from the previous User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) result of SIsKA. That significant improvement was based on the recommendations from…

Medical images are transmitted via the Internet or the hospital intranet which include many important information about the patient’s personal information. Medical image encryption is a technology that can effectively protect the information contained in these medical images. In this paper, we give a secure and trusty Combined Cellular Automata (CoCA) based medical image encryption…

Stress occurring in the early days of an individual was often assumed to cause several health consequences. A number of reports indicated that having to deal with unfavourable events or distress situation at a young age could tweak stress responses leading to a broad spectrum of poor mental and physical health condition. Therefore, changes identified…

This paper shows a method applied during the reconstruction of an existing middle size Italian hospital. In fact, during this delicate phase, the project had a significant decrease in storage space and access gates for goods, medicines and medical devices. This aspect has a negative impact on road traffic. There was no consensus among the…

Stability or balance is an integral component to perform daily activities without incurring injury or to be dependent on others. Sportsmen tend to have better balance than non-sports people but less is known about the single-leg balance ability. Furthermore, few studies analyzed the dynamic phase of single-leg stance that may contribute to better overall balance.…

Lean ERP system is considered among the new trends of systems in the manufacturing sector, it has become one of the most widely adopted systems, thanks to its various benefits such as: a centralized database which gathers all the data of the enterprise in a single database which is accessible to all the departments, reduction…

Map of prediction of fishing ground that already exists in Indonesia issued by the Bali Marine Research and Observation Center (BPOL) and the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (LAPAN) of Jakarta, there are still many weaknesses including the spatial aspect of the point of forecasting far from the coast and the unclear type of fish…

Person recognition using thermal imaging, multi-biometric traits, with groups of feature filters and classifiers, is the subject of this paper. These were used to tackle the problems of biometric systems, such as a change in illumination and spoof attacks. Using a combination of, hard and soft-biometric, attributes in thermal facial images. The hard-biometric trait, of…

The aim of this article was the identification of cardiovascular diseases, after applying Katz and Higuchi fractal algorithms on 4 databases of ECG signals downloaded from the Physionet website: heart failure (HF), hypertension (H), ischemic heart disease (IHD) and normal sinus rhythm (NSR). For this purpose, initially the ECG signals passed through a filtering stage…

Clustering is a branch of data mining which involves grouping similar data in a collection known as cluster. Clustering can be used in many fields, one of the important applications is the intelligent text clustering. Text clustering in traditional algorithms was collecting documents based on keyword matching, this means that the documents were clustered without…

Clustering is one of the well-known unsupervised learning methods that groups data into homogeneous clusters, and has been successfully used in various applications. Fuzzy C-Means(FCM) is one of the representative methods in fuzzy clustering. In FCM, however, cluster centers tend leaning to high density area because the sum of Euclidean distances in FCM forces high…

Information Systems are a combination of information technology and activities of people who use these technologies to support operations, management, data, and technology. Based on Indonesian Minister of Home Affairs Decree No. 17 of 2000, the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of West Sulawesi implements the Employee Management Information System…

Vowel classification is an essential part of speech recognition. In classical studies, this problem is mostly handled by using spectral domain features. In this study, a novel approach is proposed for vowel classification based on the visual features of speech waveforms. In sound vocalizing, the position of certain organs of the human vocal system such…

The telecommunications industry continues to move forward with plans for 5G service with rates including 6Gb/s followed by upgrade paths promising 20Gb/s. Despite advances in wireless technology associated with 5G roll-outs, there remains the problem of providing sufficient backhaul throughput and efficient handling of hand-off services within the relatively small projected cell boundaries that can…

Cloud computing is a technical “as-a-service” usage model utilizing virtualization. Virtual machines are the core of cloud computing that runs as independent machine grouped into different networks within the hypervisor. Practically done by deployment of clouds computing hosts enterprise servers in virtual machines on an array of high-end servers. Managing cloud resources has to do…
