An Information Retrieval Algorithm to Extract Influential Factors

Past literatures showed that there are many factors that can be used to assess company’s performance but only a limited number of factors are needed to efficiently assess its performance. The aim of the study is to develop an algorithm that can extract a minimum set of factors that can be used to assess companies’ performances. Stock price was used as the dependent factor. The factors extracted are known as influential factors because these factors were found to have strong influence on the stock price. The objectives of the study were to obtain a comprehensive influential factors from past literatures, develop an extraction algorithm that can identify influencial factors, and present factors that influenced companies’ stock prices. Data consisted of financial factors that were obtained from financial documents of distressed companies and non-distressed companies listed on a stock exchange. The extraction algorithm was developed and implemented using Matlab programming language. Results showed that out of 33 factors, 5 factors were found to be the minimum set needed to assess the companies’ performances. These were debt, investment, total asset, asset turnover, and working capital. The algorithm were tested on other dataset and results produced more than 70 percent of positive feedback. This indicates that the algorithm was able to produce a good model. The extraction algorithm developed showed that influencial factors produced could be used as guideline for companies to monitor and strategize ways for business improvement

Development of Multimedia Interactive Module for Learning Adobe Photoshop CS4

A combination of knowledge process with instructional media will offer extra discrepancy in the ways of education so that the purpose of users generate interest in knowledge to be more active. This study aims to develop a multimedia interactive module on the subject of learning Adobe Photoshop CS4 by Camtasia Studio 8 software. There are four phases of methodologies in this article which included the video and sound recording, CD learning manufacture, testing and revision. The consequences of this study is producing learning CD Adobe Photoshop CS4 which is supported by various aspects: voice, video, and text in order to assist the user in ease of ferreting Adobe Photoshop CS4

Development of the game-based pre-screening test for students with dyslexia

The conventional approach to screening dyslexia occurrence in Malaysia includes identifying issues by parents or teachers on their childrens performance in spelling, reading, writing, and mathematical understanding. One of the mediums is using the checklist instrument for dyslexia (ISD) developed by the Ministry of Education (MoE) Malaysia under the Special Education Department. It is the first step in identifying children who may have dyslexia. However, the screening needs to be conducted through a written test using paper and pencil. It requires the children to sit and answer the test in an exam setting. This makes the children feel stressed, being judged and monitored for the whole session. The operation of ISD also requires experienced teachers and it becomes difficult if he/she is a new teacher and has not been exposed to identifying dyslexia. Therefore, this project suggesting to overcome the problems through a “Game-Based Dyslexia Pre-Screening Test" which screened the children with or without dyslexia by answering a few questions derived from the ISD and Malay language textbooks standards 1 to 3 while the children played a game. This application allows children to play while going through the test with more fun and enjoyment, and increases their interest to play without knowing they are being assessed. In this project, interviews and surveys were conducted with teachers and parents at the beginning of the project. Design and development of the game include Unity, Visual Studio, and several other applications that were used to produce this project. Finally, evaluation using the Software Usability Scale (SUS) and observation of 30 students showed positive feedback. All of them liked playing the games, and they were engaged in playing the game which was assessed using times taken. This game can be a pre-screening approach to evaluate the students without making the students depressed or feeling different from their peers
