Robots and autistic children: a review

In accordance with the advancement in robotics and the scholarly literature, the extents of utilizing robots for autistic children are widened and could be a promising method for individual with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) treatments, where the different form of robot (humanoid, non-humanoid, animal-like, toy, and kits) can be employed effectively as a support tool to augment the learning skills and rehabilitate of the individual with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Thus, the robots were exploited for ASD children in different aspects namely; modelling, teaching, and skills practicing; testing, highlighting and evaluating; providing feedback or encouragement; join Attention; eliciting social behaviours; emotion recognition and expression; imitation; vocalization; turn-taking; and diagnostic. The related literature published recently in journals and conferences is taken into account. In this paper, we review the use of robots that help in the therapy of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The articles on using robots for autistic children rehabilitation and education which reported results of experiments on a number of participants were implicated. After looking in digital libraries under this criteria, and excluding non-related, and duplicated studies, 39 studies have been found. The findings were focused mainly on the social communication skills of autistic children and how the extent of the robots mitigate their stereotyped behaviours. Deeper research is required in this area to cover all applications of robotic on autistic children in order to design feasible and low-cost robots that ensure provide high validity

Moving Objects Encryption of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) using AES Algorithm

In recent time, the security of multimedia information has become a topic of great interest to researchers worldwide. One of the main concerns of multimedia security is content protection techniques which primarily involves encryption. In this paper, we discuss a new technique in encrypting moving objects in High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) media. Due to high computational complexity requirements of video encryption, selective encryption for the moving objects in the contents of the video has been encrypted. Vertical data of Motion Vector Difference (MVD) has been selected to be encrypted using the AES algorithm. The result has shown that the scheme provides an adequate security level for the moving objects information while giving consideration to the trade-off between the computational complexity, the encryption reliability and video coding efficiency for a real-time application

Melestarikan Matlamat Pembangunan Mampan (SDGs) 2030 Di Institusi Pengajian Tinggi (IPT)

Kertas kerja ini menerangkan penggunaan media sosial iaitu Facebook Pages dan Instagram dan pembentukkan rubrik penilaian tugasan pelajar bagi kursus DRK3062 (Inovasi dan Reka Cipta). Responden adalah terdiri daripada pelajar Politeknik Kota Kinabalu semester tiga yang mengikuti kursus DRK3062 Inovasi Dan Reka Cipta. Media Sosial digunakan sebagai alat bantuan mengajar bagi mengatasi masalah semasa yang dihadapi proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Seterusnya pembentukkan rubrik penilaian tugasan juga dibentuk supaya penilaian lebih tepat dengan hasil kerja dan kreativiti pelajar. Media sosial yang dibangunkan adalah dengan menggunakan Facebook dan Instagram di mana terdapat video dan penerangan yang boleh dijadikan rujukan kepada pelajar untuk menyiapkan tugasan. Dengan membangunkan rubrik analitik, pensyarah dapat menganalisis kelebihan dan kelemahan seseorang pelajar. Kesimpulannya, pelajar memberikan respon positif terhadap penggunaan media sosial dan rubrik yang dibina. Penggunaan internet dalam proses Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran (P&P) adalah selari dengan perkembangan teknologi maklumat masa kini seterusnya menyokong transformasi pendidikan di Politeknik

Acupressure only as pain relief for patient with multiple drug allergies undergoing oocyte retrieval

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is associated with significant stress, which can affect the general wellbeing of the couple as well as the outcome of treatment. Oocyte retrieval (OR) is the fundamental step in the IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycle. Transvaginal ultrasound-guided OR (TVOR) is the most common method used in assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, even though TVOR is a short and minimally invasive procedure, it is stressful and undoubtedly painful. Such pain is due to the passage of a double-bore needle through the vaginal wall and ovarian capsule followed by mechanical stimulation within the ovary during the procedure
