Although there were a small provide research trends educational technology regards topics, methods, researchers, more is necessary help educators new issues This study intends an overview practical theoretical pertaining by analyzing literature recently published peer-reviewed journals. The present qualitatively...

This paper introduces a visual programming language (vpl) for Thymio II, an educational robot. Our vpl is intended children in primary school and aims at making robotics approachable young by creating close correspondence between the icons of design Its two modes operation | basic advanced allow to learn level suitable their current skill. Moreover, our provides live generation textual code that eases transition more children. describes goals guiding principles behind demonstrates how...

We present a novel approach for unsupervised discovery of repetitive objects from 3D point clouds. Our method assumes that are non-deformable and uses multiple occurrences an object as the evidence its existence. segment input range data by superpixel segmentation extract features each segment. search group segments where matches in another using joint compatibility test. The discovered then verified Iterative Closest Point algorithm to remove false matches. presented was tested on real...

Ensuring mobility of the elderly is an important task in our aging society. To this end, paper presents SmartWalker, a high-tech extension regular walker that aims to navigate around its environment autonomously and assist user intelligently. The equipped with sensors ac tuators operates two modes, autonomous assistive. In mode, accepts gesture commands via gesture-based interface navigates accordingly. uses k-nearest neighbors classifier dynamic time warping recognize gestures Viola Jones...

This randomized controlled study aimed to investigate the effects of art psychotherapy on moderate-to-severe major depressive disorder (MDD). Forty-two MDD patients were recruited from a psychiatric outpatient clinic in Seoul, Republic Korea. Participants allocated randomized, open-label basis either an experimental group, wherein they treated with added pharmacotherapy, or control pharmacotherapy alone. Pre- and post-test measures Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, Beck Inventory-II,...

This paper presents SmartWalker and evaluates the appropriateness usefulness of walker its gesture-based interface for elderly. As a high-tech extension regular walker, aims to assist user intelligently navigate around environment autonomously. Equipped with sensors actuators, prototype accepts gesture commands navigates accordingly. The uses k-nearest neighbours classifier dynamic time warping recognize gestures Viola Jones face detector locate user. We evaluated 23 residents eight staff...

본 연구에서는 국내에서 발표된 논의 및 과학 글쓰기 관련 논문을 대상으로 연구 문제, 대상, 방법 활동 적용 방식과 어떠한 측면에서 그 결과를 분석하고 있는지 알아봄으로써 연구의 동향을 살펴보고 후속 방향을 제시하고자 한다. 2004년부터 2013년까지 118편을 수집하여 분석하였다. 최근 10년간 연구는 점점 증가하는 추세이고 2008년 이후에 연구가 활성화되고 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 교수 학습 전략을 개발, 활동에 대한 내용 분석, 효과 분석의 순으로 문제가 선정된 것으로 나타났다. 초등학생과 중학생을 한 연구에 비해 예비 교사 현장 교사를 연구와 고등학생을 적었다. 방법은 양적 연구, 질적 혼합 비교적 고르게 적용되고 또한 대상에게 사전 교육을 진행하거나 자료를 제시한 증가하고 후에 학생들의 과학에 태도를 분석한 많았는데, 개념, 탐구 능력, 비판적 사고력 향상 등의 분석에 좀 더 초점을 두어야 할 것이다. 많은 연구에서 구조와 과정 또는 글쓰기에 포함된 내용과...

Concurrency is inherent to robots, and using concurrency in robotics can greatly enhance performance of the applications. So far, however, use has been limited cumbersome. This paper presents Roboscoop, a new framework based on Simple Concurrent Object Oriented Programming (SCOOP). SCOOP excludes data races by construction, thereby eliminating major class concurrent programming errors. Roboscoop utilizes SCOOP’s synchronization mechanisms for coordination We demonstrate Roboscoop’s...

During the COVID-19 pandemic, digital capital and online activities have played significant roles as a tool for enhancing social support. Considering increased role of information communication technology (ICT), in this study, we investigated following research questions by focusing on Indonesian Muslim diaspora South Korea. To what extent do communities affect formation support pandemic situation? How does pursue Korea, which has high capacity ICT infrastructure? We used acceptance model...

Ensuring mobility of the elderly is an important task in our aging society. To this end, paper presents automatic speed controller for SmartWalker -- a high-tech extension regular walker. The walker locates its user by detecting user's legs using laser range scanner. then determines optimal location and other sensory data. We evaluated with thirteen residents at three different retirement homes. Our analysis showed that slightly more comfortable easier to maneuver than without liked...

Software design patterns are reusable solutions to commonly occurring problems in software development. Growing complexity of robotics increases the importance applying proper engineering principles and methods such as robotics. Concurrency particularly interesting because robots often have many components that can operate parallel. However, there has not yet been any established set concurrency for For this purpose, we choose six known - Future, Periodic timer, Invoke later, Active object,...

This study investigated how religious factors exert social pressure to discipline female bodies through hijab practices in Indonesia. identified relationships among factors, such as religiosity, individuals’ involvement with communities, subjective norms regarding the practice, and regulation of sexuality. found that positively influence which reinforce Although recent studies have underscored role a tool for expressing Muslim identity means women construct modernity, results this reveal...

In recent years, advancements in representation learning and language models have propelled Automated Captioning (AC) to new heights, enabling the generation of human-level descriptions. Leveraging these advancements, we propose AVCap, an Audio-Visual framework, a simple yet powerful baseline approach applicable audio-visual captioning. AVCap utilizes features as text tokens, which has many advantages not only performance but also extensibility scalability model. is designed around three...

The purpose of this paper is to establish the type synonymous relation vocabulary by analyzing semantic similarity. Until now, definition synonym has been presented in various ways scholars, and approaches exist accordingly. It not easy discriminate actual significance. reason that similarities between appear very diverse, range synonyms varies greatly depending on which these admitted be same. In paper, order determine degree similarity a suggest classification plan accordingly, survey will...
