An open learning environment for the diagnosis, assistance and evaluation of students based on artificial intelligence
The personalized diagnosis, assistance and evaluation of students in open learning environments can be a challenging task, especially in cases that the processes need to be taking place in real-time, classroom conditions. This paper describes the design of an open learning environment under development, designed to monitor the comprehension of students, assess their prior knowledge, build individual learner profiles, provide personalized assistance and, finally, evaluate their performance by using artificial intelligence. A trial test has been performed, with the participation of 20 students, which displayed promising results
Web-based eTutor for learning electrical circuit analysis
This paper discusses a web-based eTutor for learning electrical circuit
analysis. The eTutor system components, mainly the user-interface and the assessment
model, are described. The system architecture developed provides a framework to
support interactive sessions between the human and the machine for the case when the
human is a student and the machine a tutor and also for the case when the roles of the
human and the machine are swapped. To motivate the usefulness of the data gathered,
some examples of interactive sessions are given and models to capture both declarative
and procedural knowledge during learning are discussed. A probabilistic assessment
model is reviewed and future directions in the field of eTutors for electrical circuits are
discussed.peer-reviewe
Quantum Readiness in Healthcare and Public Health: Building a Quantum Literate Workforce
Quantum technologies, including quantum computing, cryptography, and sensing,
among others, are set to revolutionize sectors ranging from materials science
to drug discovery. Despite their significant potential, the implications for
public health have been largely overlooked, highlighting a critical gap in
recognition and preparation. This oversight necessitates immediate action, as
public health remains largely unaware of quantum technologies as a tool for
advancement. The application of quantum principles to epidemiology and health
informatics, termed quantum health epidemiology and quantum health informatics,
has the potential to radically transform disease surveillance, prediction,
modeling, and analysis of health data. However, there is a notable lack of
quantum expertise within the public health workforce and educational pipelines.
This gap underscores the urgent need for the development of quantum literacy
among public health practitioners, leaders, and students to leverage emerging
opportunities while addressing risks and ethical considerations. Innovative
teaching methods, such as interactive simulations, games, visual models, and
other tailored platforms, offer viable solutions for bridging knowledge gaps
without the need for advanced physics or mathematics. However, the opportunity
to adapt is fleeting as the quantum era in healthcare looms near. It is
imperative that public health urgently focuses on updating its educational
approaches, workforce strategies, data governance, and organizational culture
to proactively meet the challenges of quantum disruption thereby becoming
quantum ready.Comment: 13 pages, 1 tabl
Sustainable government policy as silver bullet to sustainable business incubation performance In Nigeria
Business incubation has variously been described as a support programme that assist the early-stage entrepreneurs to develop and stay on their own. Furthermore, business incubation programme has been acknowledged as an economic development tool most countries globally adopted. The aim of this study is to examine the contribution of government policy on the relationship between the critical success factors (CSFs) and incubator performance in Nigeria. The questionnaire method of data collection was used to gather 113 usable questionnaires from incubatees in Nigeriaâs business incubators. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was performed to determine the result using the Partial Least Square (PLS) Software. Government policy as a moderator did not show a significant moderation relationship between the CSF and incubator performance
Evaluating Human Performance for Image-Guided Surgical Tasks
The following work focuses on the objective evaluation of human performance for two different interventional tasks; targeted prostate biopsy tasks using a tracked biopsy device, and external ventricular drain placement tasks using a mobile-based augmented reality device for visualization and guidance. In both tasks, a human performance methodology was utilized which respects the trade-off between speed and accuracy for users conducting a series of targeting tasks using each device. This work outlines the development and application of performance evaluation methods using these devices, as well as details regarding the implementation of the mobile AR application. It was determined that the Fittsâ Law methodology can be applied for evaluation of tasks performed in each surgical scenario, and was sensitive to differentiate performance across a range which spanned experienced and novice users. This methodology is valuable for future development of training modules for these and other medical devices, and can provide details about the underlying characteristics of the devices, and how they can be optimized with respect to human performance

Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering vol. 365
This book includes the original, peer-reviewed research papers from the 2nd
International Conference on Electrical Systems, Technology and Information
(ICESTI 2015), held during 9â12 September 2015, at Patra Jasa Resort & Villas
Bali, Indonesia.
The primary objective of this book is to provide references for dissemination and
discussion of the topics that have been presented in the conference. This volume is
unique in that it includes work related to Electrical Engineering, Technology and
Information towards their sustainable development. Engineers, researchers as well
as lecturers from universities and professionals in industry and government will
gain valuable insights into interdisciplinary solutions in the field of Electrical
Systems, Technology and Information, and its applications.
The topics of ICESTI 2015 provide a forum for accessing the most up-to-date
and authoritative knowledge and the best practices in the field of Electrical
Engineering, Technology and Information towards their sustainable development.
The editors selected high quality papers from the conference that passed through a
minimum of three reviewers, with an acceptance rate of 50.6 %.
In the conference there were three invited papers from keynote speakers, whose
papers are also included in this book, entitled: âComputational Intelligence based
Regulation of the DC bus in the On-Grid Photovoltaic Systemâ, âVirtual
Prototyping of a Compliant Spindle for Robotic Deburringâ and âA Concept of
Multi Rough Sets Defined on Multi-Contextual Information Systemsâ.
The conference also classified the technology innovation topics into five parts:
âTechnology Innovation in Robotics, Image Recognition and Computational
Intelligence Applicationsâ, âTechnology Innovation in Electrical Engineering,
Electric Vehicle and Energy Managementâ, âTechnology Innovation in Electronic,
Manufacturing, Instrumentation and Material Engineeringâ, âTechnology
Innovation in Internet of Things and Its Applicationsâ and âTechnology Innovation
in Information, Modeling and Mobile Applicationsâ
