Quantitative analysis in a heuristic evaluation of web-based encyclopedia for children

Anapedia is a web-based encyclopedia designed specifically for children. The web was built because there are still very few Indonesian-language encyclopedias for children. This paper presents an evaluation of the usability of the Anapedia website developed for children in Indonesia to retrieve information available in a wide range of areas. In the context of usability evaluation of children encyclopedia, this is the first study to analyze usability problems identified by experts during the heuristic inspection on their overall evaluation score. This evaluation, performed by seven usability experts, involved the identification and analysis of usability problems in the selected website. The assessment process was mainly based on the Sirius framework evaluation mechanism. The web considered as having high usability level, but they identified many usability problems for further improvement of the site. The most violated heuristic item was found to be “help” whereas the least violated heuristic item was “labelling” aspect

Design of a Wearable Ultrasound System

Ultrasound imaging is a safe and powerful tool for providing detailed still and moving images of the human body. Most of today’s ultrasound systems are housed on a movable cart and designed for use within a clinical setting, such as in a hospital or doctor’s office. This configuration hinders its use in locations lacking controlled environments and stable power sources. Example locations include ambulances, disaster sights, war zones and rural medicine. A wearable ultrasound system, in the form of a vest worn by a sonographer, has been developed as a complete solution for performing untethered ultrasound examinations. The heart of the system is an enclosure containing an embedded computer running the Windows XP operating system, and a custom power supply. The power supply integrates a battery charger, a switching regulator, two linear regulators, a variable speed fan controller and a microcontroller providing an interface for monitoring and control to the embedded computer. Operation of the system is generally accomplished through the use of voice commands, but it may also be operated using a hand-held mouse. It is capable of operating for a full day, using two batteries contained in the vest. In addition, the system has the capability to wirelessly share live images with remote viewers in real-time, while also permitting full duplex voice communication. An integrated web-server also provides for the wireless retrieval of stored images, image loops and other information using a web-browser

Opinion Extraction of Public Figure Based on Sentiment Analysis from Twitter

Twitter is a microblog that can generate an information from users such as sentiment about public figures. Sentiment analysis of public figure interpret the positive or negative response. This study aims to create system that automatically can extract the opinion about public figure based on sentiment analysis in twitter using two novel features, they are specific term and number of followers public figures lover and hater. Several step to determine the sentiment of public figure are preprocessing, weighting, classifying, and determining sentiment response. In this paper we use six public figures to be observed. This research resulting precision 99%, recall 75%, and accuracy 76,67%

Improvement of Cluster Importance Algorithm with Sentence Position for News Summarization

Text summarization is one of the ways to reduce large document dimension to obtain important information from the document. News is one of information which usually has several sub-topics from a topic. In order to get the main information from a topic as fast as possible, multi-document summarization is the solution, but sometimes it can create redundancy. In this study, we used cluster importance algorithm by considering sentence position to overcome the redundancy. Stages of cluster importance algorithm are sentence clustering, cluster ordering, and selection of sentence representative which will be explained in the subsections below. The contribution of this research was to add the position of sentence in the selection phase of representative sentence. For evaluation, we used 30 topics of Indonesian news tested by using ROUGE-1, there were 2 news topics that had different ROUGE-1 score between using cluster importance algorithm by considering sentence position and using cluster importance. However, those 2 news topics which used cluster importance by considering sentence position have a greater score of Rouge-1 than the one which only used cluster importance. The use of sentence position had an effect on the order of sentence on each topic, but there were only 2 news topics that affected the outcome of the summary
