Spatial Analysis of Students Residing in Metro Hartford in HPS-run Magnet Schools, 2011-12 and 2012-13

New immigrants face many cultural, economic, and language barriers upon arriving in the United States. Due to these barriers, they rely heavily on the services provided to them by governmental agencies and community based organizations. However, many of these services are not advertised to the immigrant population and are difficult to navigate. Further, for undocumented immigrants, many essen.al services are simply not available for them. This research project will develop a comprehensive list of services available to immigrants in Connecticut, with a focus on services for undocumented immigrants, based off of the most common questions that immigrants have asked at The American Place at the Hartford Public Library. This form will be produced through research and conversations with service providers in Connecticut, the public school system, and branches of local government. While researching services at several government agencies and other service providers, it has become clear that some officials and administrators are unaware of the protocols and services for the undocumented population. However, the services available, especially involving public schools and community based organizations, have been identified and recorded and will serve to help Hartford’s immigrant population. The production of this Frequently Asked Questions sheet will serve as a lesson for the public as it will make visible the lack of resources for the undocumented immigrant community and show the need for comprehensive immigration reform in order for all people to receive basic human services

Website Quality and Intention to Use Real Estate Website in Housing Market

The purpose of this study is to operationalize the impact of some factors of real estate website quality on behavioral intention to use in searching information about housing market. Research model is the integration of extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) of Davis and Information Success System of DeLone and McLean. The data of 847 real estate website users from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City was analyzed by Structural Equation Model (SEM) and multiple group analysis. The findings indicate that most of all hypotheses received support from data, specifically, Perceived Enjoyment has the most positive impact on Attitude and Behavioral Intention of real estate website users. Moreover, there is difference in the degree of impact of website quality between the perception of users in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Keywords: real estate website, website quality, housing market, searching information DOI: 10.7176/EJBM/13-11-09 Publication date:June 30th 202

A longitudinal Perspective on Efficiency of Airlines in Europe and the U.S

The aviation industries in Europe and the US have been well-established since a very early age and have attracted great attention from both industry practitioners and academics. To derive a different perspective on the efficiency levels of airlines operating in the two matured markets, we adopted dynamic data envelopment analysis (DEA). Using the data of the period 2014 – 2016 of 7 European airlines and 9 US airlines that are publicly traded, the study offers an overall picture of airlines' efficiency in the two regions. Notably, the resource flow between the consecutive periods is incorporated into the measure to yield a longitudinal perspective on airlines' efficiency. The study reveals the two major findings. First, most publicly traded airlines in Europe and the US are efficient, except for Hawaiian airline headquartered in the US. Second, Hawaiian airline's inefficiency is majorly contributed by the overuse of the number of employees, consumed fuel, and the deficit of revenue seat-miles in 2014 and 2015. To improve the efficiency level, Hawaiian airlines could consider increasing employee productivity, using more fuel-efficient aircraft, and implementing new marketing strategies to boost sales

Depression Consultation Expert System

Depression Consultation Expert System (DECES) is a web-based Diagnosis and Counseling system for depression cases based on knowledge from human expert. Given the shortage of psychiatrists, the refusal of patients on face-to-face consultation due to shyness, appointment hassles, time& cost of each treatment, and a considerable increase in numbers of depressive subjects, there is a definite sense of urgency in the development of this system. The objectives of the project are to understand the underlying concepts of AI in medicine in general and psychology in particular, and to develop DECES through research on diagnostic expert system, its construction techniques and approaches. The methodology used is expert system development life cycle with prototyping. The development begins with knowledge acquisition, then design of the knowledge base and inference methods. Application of this methodology allows the prototype to be evaluated and refined by professionals in stages to verify its credibility, reliability and clinical acceptability. The system is able to guide its users to a diagnosis process of identifying their depression levels and causes and getting self-help without the intervention of psychiatrists. The proposed system captures the expertise, which empowers patients with the ability to help themselves in depression treatment quickly, at any convenient place and time. With the increase recognition of the seriousness of depression and the importance to reduce it critically, the future depression expert system appears to be promising and optimistic. This paradigm shift makes depression consultation expert system an emerging and ever-evolving one that can be and should be productively explored
