Sundari, Jenie, and Muhamad Derajat. "PERANCANGAN SISTEM INFORMASI M-SCHOOL PADA SMA NEGERI 33 JAKARTA." Reputasi: Jurnal Rekayasa Perangkat Lunak 1, no. 2 (December 14, 2020): 126–30. http://dx.doi.org/10.31294/reputasi.v1i2.92.
Abstract:
The process of processing attendance data at the 33 Jakarta High School is done manually by the teacher. Such attendance and assessment processing systems require renewal by utilizing existing technologies in the school environment. The technology that is currently developing rapidly is the reason researchers to develop online attendance information systems. The research aims to develop student attendance information systems online in order to be able to complete the absence of data processing and attendance of the absence of information for parents from the school. So far, parents can only know the attendance and grades of students when taking report cards only. By conducting this research the researcher wants parents to be able to know the student's attendance and grades at any time. The research method used is a waterfall. The first stage is the analysis of device requirements. The second step is application design. The third stage is making program code. The fourth stage is testing applications and benefits to users. The last stage of program maintenance is periodically to avoid any errors that arise. The maintenance process can repeat the development process starting from specification analysis to changes to existing software, but not for making new devices.

Abstract:
Student attendance at SMKN 1 Kebun Tebu is still done manually. The student affairs department often struggles when asked for information about student attendance. Many parents/guardians complained because they did not know the attendance information or delay of their children from the school. Communication devices in the form of cellular phones or mobile phones are not a luxury anymore but can be said to be a secondary need for everyone because the function is much more practical and efficient. These technological advances can be used as a reporting system about student information, especially attendance. Currently, there are still many schools that cannot maximize the technology at least to monitor children from anywhere without having to go to school just to ask about their children's attendance. Therefore, a web-based student attendance information system and SMS Gateway are needed to facilitate the process of monitoring students by parents. Using software development, the author tried to build a web-based student attendance information system with SMS Gateway at SMKN 1 Kebun Tebu using Java and PHP programming languages with MySql as the database. So that the input process and data processing are faster. With this application, it is expected to help the school and students in the student attendance process.

Abstract:
Student attendance in any educational institutions is a critical content of the administration of school and the major task of the course lecturer who maintain attendance. The conventional method of monitoring students' attendance in the classroom typically involves requiring students to physically record their attendance. Initially, this process was carried out manually using pen and paper. However, as the student population grows, this approach becomes increasingly burdensome, time-consuming, and susceptible to mistakes. To avoid these challenges, this paper proposes a Mobile attendance system using GPS locator and facial authentication algorithm to monitor students’ attendance using android mobile devices. The mobile attendance app is based on Client-Server Architecture where the server is hosted in the cloud and clients are with mobile devices with in-built GPS Locator. To secure the integrity of the attendance, the GPS locator helps in locating the precise geographical position of the students present, a mock detector is also integrated into the app to detect fake location of the students in the classroom meeting and the facial image used by the student at runtime support startup camera.

"Custodial Grandchildren’s School Attendance and Academic Performance during COVID-19: The Role of Technology." Societies 13, no. 10 (September 26, 2023): 215. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/soc13100215.
Abstract:
Due to COVID-19, many schools switched to remote instruction, creating an urgency to address the technology needs of many families, including grandparent-headed families. Many grandparent-headed families (i.e., custodial grandparents) have limited access to digital devices and stable internet. Moreover, many of these grandparents lack the skills and confidence to use technology, which may affect both their grandchildren’s ability to attend school as well as their academic performance. This study investigates both the associations of grandfamilies’ access to technology and custodial grandparents’ comfort level with technology with their grandchildren’s academic attendance and performance during COVID-19. We analyzed cross-sectional survey data collected from grandparents raising grandchildren between March 2021 and February 2022 in the United States. Ordered logistic regression analyses were conducted using STATA. The key results suggested that grandfamilies’ more stable access to technology (OR = 1.54, p = 0.048) and grandparents’ high comfort level with technology (OR = 2.18, p = 0.003) during grandchildren’s remote learning were significantly associated with higher odds of grandchildren’s better school attendance. Similarly, more stable access to technology (OR = 1.53, p = 0.048) and higher comfort level with technology (OR = 1.67, p = 0.030) were significantly associated with higher odds of grandchildren’s better academic performance. The results imply the need to provide stable internet and digital devices to grandfamilies without access to these services or devices, as well as technical assistance and technical-related education workshops to custodial grandparents who are not tech-savvy.

Abstract:
This research investigates the types of digital devices used by students at a Secondary School in Kiritpur Municipality, Nepal, and their relationship with grade level, focusing on integrating technology in teaching mathematics. The case is urban school phenomena. A survey was conducted with 420 students, using a questionnaire for data collection. Statistical tools used in analysis included univariate (frequency and percentage) and bivariate (Chi-Square) methods. Findings show that mobile devices are the most widely used for attending online classes. Around 25% of students lack access to necessary technology at least mobile too. Attendance rates vary between lower and higher grade levels. Importantly, the study reveals limited technology integration at an urban School, with teachers lacking awareness of how to effectively adapt and incorporate technologies in the classroom, specifically for mathematics teaching. These results underscore the need to improve digital device availability and the types for teaching science, mathematics like subjects, which demand dynamic, interactive tools use. Similarly, access to devices particularly at the lower secondary level is lower, and over reliance on parents' device needs reducing reliance on parental devices. Additionally, there is a call for enhanced professional development to support teachers in integrating technology into mathematics instruction. Addressing these challenges will contribute to enhancing the learning experience and overall effectiveness of technology integration in the classroom.

Abstract:
This paper aims to develop a generic face detection and recognition system that will automate the process of collecting school attendance by recognizing students' frontal faces from classroom photographs. The reliability of the data collected is the biggest problem with the traditional attendance management systems. Many automated methods, such as biometric attendance, are being used. However, technical difficulties with scanning devices always affect the efficiency of such techniques. This paper employs principal component analysis approaches for face detection and OpenCV for face recognition to improve data quality and information accessibility for legitimate parties. The Python programming language was used for the development of the proposed system, while SQL was used for the development of the database that houses the information of users in the system. The new system was tested and shown to be not only safe but also protects students' identities by offering an anonymous attendance environment.

Abstract:
Over the last two years, the prolonged massive school closure due to COVID-19 has provoked significant constraints for refugee children. The present study aimed to investigate the perceptions of Greek pre-service teachers on refugee education during the COVID-19 pandemic. A questionnaire was addressed to 32 native university students (n = 32) who attended Education Departments in Western Macedonia in Greece. The results showed that the prevalence of distance education affected pre-service teachers’ perceptions. The access to devices with internet capability as well as the cultural barriers was considered to be crucial factors for the school attendance of refugee children. Participants’ perceptions of the level of teacher preparation in a distance learning environment were related to their level of self-efficacy for supporting refugee students. The findings suggest that in the aftermath of COVID-19 pandemic, the international community should make efforts to ensure the school attendance of all refugee students.

Abstract:
The IoT refers to the linking of items to a network through message-generating devices; in the connection process, communication and information circulation are carried out through the information dissemination medium to realize intelligent identification, tracking, supervision, and other functions. Attendance management is a system for assessing employee attendance, including being late, leaving early, and asking for leave. Student attendance refers to the attendance rate of students in class. This article aimed to study the design and research of the student attendance management system based on the Internet of things technology, and use this system to accurately record students’ attendance and develop good habits for students. An effective attendance management company has been developed to enhance the collection of information for student management in universities, to keep track of teachers’ and students’ teaching attendance in real time, and to connect teachers and students in real time using computer technology. Access to the Android version of the software speeds up the collection and processing of information and can play an important role in improving the efficiency of personnel management. On the basis of analysing the operation logic of the attendance system, matching programs and the attendance system software are designed. The experimental results of this article show that the attendance rate of students with utilitarian personality is the highest, as high as 70%; the attendance rate of students with helpless personality is 13%; the attendance rate of students who follow the current personality accounted for 10%; and the attendance rate of nonmotivated students accounted for 7%. It can be seen from this that personality is an important factor affecting students’ attendance rate. The attendance rate of positive psychology with goals is the highest, and the attendance rate of students without clear goals is the lowest. The student attendance management system of the Internet of things technology has been applied in practical work, but with the continuous construction and development of the school, the continuous improvement of new software and hardware, and the emergence of new needs in practical work, the student attendance management system is easy to crash when processing a large amount of data at the same time.

Abstract:
Abstract: In the current scenario smartphones play a vital role in our daily life, In fact they are a part of our lives. Smartphones can now handle the majority of problems fast and easily. Every person's life has been made simpler and easier as a result of it.Basically this paper focuses on the problem which is faced by the faculties and students during the process of attendance and there are more chances of proxies in the traditional method (using pen and papers). The paper proposed a system that will use AR Marker technology and handle the problem for recording the attendance of the students in school and colleges. The suggested system consists of two applications: one for creating the AR Marker by entering class information via faculty, and another for scanning the QR code via students. The teacher will generate the QR code and present it to the students using a projector, after which the students will simply open the second app and scan the QR code to get their attendance. The Smart Attendance System is cost effective because it does not rely on biometric devices which are expensive. The paper explains how the system authenticates students' identities in order to prevent fraudulent registrations. By changing the QR code every five to ten seconds and just for five minutes, the system is able to reduce the proxy level. If any student fails to show up for class, the professor may display the QR code again. The system is in charge of managing and evaluating all students' attendance. In addition, the system will save the attendance data in XLS and CSV files for future use. Keyword: Smart Attendance System, AR Marker, Attendance System using QR Code, Software as a Service .

"Missing class increases the daily frequency of screen use among schoolchildren." Revista Brasileira de Atividade Física & Saúde 27 (May 31, 2022): 1–8. http://dx.doi.org/10.12820/rbafs.27e0256.
Abstract:
We analyzed the association between school attendance and the daily frequency of use of different forms of screens (TV, computer, cell phone and videogame) among children and adolescents. Longitudinal study with four repeated measures during the 2015 school year. Children and adolescents from a public school participated in the study (n = 463, 53.6% boys; 9.3 ± 1.3 years old). The daily frequency of screen use was the outcome analyzed, which was reported on an online questionnaire for the previous-day recall, illustrated with 32 icons of activities including 4 types of electronic devices. The participant answered “What did you do yesterday?” in the morning, afternoon, and night. School attendance was assessed by responding to the item “Did you go to school yesterday?”. The analysis was conducted using generalized estimation equations, with adjustment by sex, age, BMI z-scores, and season of the year. The average percentage of absences during the follow-up was 28.7%. The use of screens was 13% higher among students who missed class. Playing a video game was 37% higher among students who missed class. The daily frequency of screen use was 26% higher among adolescents (10-12 years) compared to children (7-9 years), especially in the analysis performed individually for TV and cell phone. The daily frequency of screen use and watching TV among students who missed classes during the winter was, respectively, 24% (IRR = 1.24; 95%CI = 1.11 - 1.39) and 35% (IRR = 1.35; 95%CI = 1.10 - 1.66) higher compared to those who missed classes during the fall. In conclusion, the use of screens predominated among students who missed class, mainly in winter.

"WORK SCHEDULING PROGRAM DESIGN FOR LECTURE ATTENDANCE CONTROL AND LECTURER WORKLOAD CALCULATION WITH FINGERPRINT AND RFID IDENTIFICATION DEVICE." Indonesian Journal of Engineering and Science 2, no. 3 (September 8, 2021): 001–10. http://dx.doi.org/10.51630/ijes.v2i3.24.
Abstract:
The essential factor in achieving a good learning process is discipline in the lecture process. Students and lecturers are encouraged to be disciplined and active participants in the lecture process, allowing the Lecturer's principal duty of transforming and disseminating science and technology to become more concentrated. Furthermore, to eliminate overlapping lecture schedules, lecture hours, and lecture venues that do not meet needs, it is easier for stakeholders to monitor and regulate lecturers' and students' lecture attendance so that quick and accurate decision-making can be done. To establish discipline in school utilizing biometric identification technology (fingerprints) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, developing application software to make it easier to manage work schedules is required. The Work Scheduling program is an online application built with the PHP programming language, MySQL database, and fingerprint and RFID identification support devices that are expected to be effective and efficient tools in the process of scheduling lectures and recording lecture attendance of students and lecturers, making it easier to publish lecture schedules.

Abstract:
Technology use and adoption by firms and workers is a critical component of the process of technological change. Relying on data from the Canadian Workplace and Employee Survey, this study assesses the causal effects of education on technology use and adoption by using instrumental variables for schooling derived from Canadian compulsory school attendance laws. The authors find that education increases the probability of using computers on the job, and that employees with more education spend more time using computers and have longer work experiences with computers than those with less education. Education does not, however, influence the use of computer-controlled and computer-assisted devices or other technological devices such as cash registers and sales terminals. These findings are consistent with the view that formal education increases the use of technologies that require or enable workers to carry out higher-order tasks, but not those involving routine workplace tasks.

Abstract:
The main aim of this study is to quantitatively investigate special education teachers’ use of Assistive Technology (AT) in special education through a questionnaire distributed to special education teachers in the Jeddah School District. In all, 64 questionnaires were included in data analysis, which found that teachers have a moderate level of AT knowledge and skills and a moderate knowledge of AT concepts and terms, and felt moderately confident about identifying a variety of AT devices. Moreover, 90% of respondents are strongly interested in receiving more training on AT, preferably through one-on-one individualized instruction and attendance at workshops or conferences. This study recommends AT training as having special importance in preparing a conducive educational environment for students with disabilities, for as the professional development of teachers’ competency has a significant influence on teaching students with disabilities, this would better enable teachers to integrate AT into the school curriculum.

Abstract:
Medically fragile adolescents require medical technology and skilled care from parents and nurses in daily life. These adolescents may be ventilator dependent, require intravenous nutrition or medications, depend on nutritional or respiratory support, and depend on nursing care or other medical devices for daily living. Much of the extant research on medically fragile children and adolescents has lacked an overarching theoretical perspective. Findings suggest that peer relationships, family support, technology dependence, school attendance, and self-esteem are concepts of relevance for these adolescents. Thus, a theoretical framework derived from the risk and resilience literature was developed to identify the nature of their interrelationships using theory derivation techniques. The resilience in medically fragile adolescents framework was derived using concepts described by these adolescents. Further study is needed to test this model in medically fragile adolescents with hopes to foster positive outcomes for these adolescents.

Abstract:
The Paperlees concept is to reduce the use of paper in schools with the aim of effectiveness and efficiency in school management. All of this can be done with the help of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) which has developed rapidly at this time. The World 4.0 era with increasingly advanced technology turned out to have a positive impact on various lines of life. Even in educational institutions, even though technological advances have also begun to be applied. For example, using Google Sheets for attendance, collecting test scores, and student data and others. However, the use of this technology will fail if there is no special training for teachers or educators. Using Google Sheets for attendance and assessors makes it very easy for teachers and academic departments to collect data in real-time. Based on this fact, writing this article aims to explain what steps were taken by Dayah Darul Ihsan in training educators about Google Spreadsheets. This article combines qualitative data from 3 teaching staff respondents to get objective results about the ease and difficulty of using Google Sheets. Based on field studies, it was found that it was easy and several obstacles in using Google Spreadsheet by teachers. convenience; data connection in real-time between the teacher who teaches the homeroom and the academic division of Dayah. Constraint; the small screens of Android devices, the large number of old teaching staff who have difficulty using the media and the limited access to the WIFI network at Dayah Darul Ihsan. This study is considered new because it describes training on the use of technology at Dayah educational institutions. The findings from this article can be used in developing and optimizing the use of technology in Dayah/Madrasah. Maximum use of technology can improve the quality of education in Aceh and Indonesia in general.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to expand the growing body of research on the educational impact of 1:1 mobile devices, investigating the iPad’s potential to reduce the disparity of access to high-quality instructional technology and achievement for low income, racially, and linguistically diverse students. Design/methodology/approach This three-year, mixed-method study investigated the degree to which a 1:1 iPad initiative reduced the disparity of technology access and instructional use and improved student learning and attendance. The research design included survey data on student technology skills, experiences and use and teacher focus groups to confirm and contextualize the survey data. Findings Across all three years, ninth graders and students who were white, female, eligible for free/reduced lunch and those with stable enrollment were more likely to have an individual iPad (THP). Having a THP was associated with greater satisfaction, ease and frequency of technology use, higher attendance and GPA. Research limitations/implications Inequitable distribution, inconsistent administrative support, and uneven faculty support for iPads limit generalizability. Practical implications This research identifies barriers to successful technology integration and impact on student achievement including inequitable access, inconsistent administrative and teacher support, and limited professional development. Originality/value This research focuses on an issue of digital equity that has not yet been studied in depth with 1:1 iPads and investigates students’ technology access, experiences and use to support student achievement in a high poverty, highly diverse high school.

Abstract:
Every child has a right to education and attending school is a must in South Africa. However, school attendance was severely disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak. Regardless, the academic process has to continue, hence the use of mobile devices as pedagogical tools for learning. The aim of this study therefore is to explore the determinants of high school learners' continuous use of mobile learning in order that the academic project may continue. The study employed a survey design in which quantitative data were collected using a seven-point Likert-type scale questionnaire developed by the researchers. A stratified sample of 500 high school learners participated in the survey of which 419 of them successfully completed the survey, giving a success rate of 83.8%. The remaining 16.2% submissions were spoilt and hence discarded. The study combined three models, namely the technology acceptance model (TAM), self-determination theory (SDT), and the expectation-confirmation model (ECT) in its analysis of the developed seven-construct model which used partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). SmartPLS v 3.0 was used to validate the measurement and structural models of the study. Results showed that all six variables identified for the model were good predictors of high school learners’ continuous use of mobile learning with 68% explained variance for satisfaction and 39.1% for continuous use. The study developed and validated a robust mobile learning model which is recommended to stakeholders for continuous use of mobile learning. Future researchers are encouraged to search for more determinants of continuous use of mobile learning that have not been identified in this study.

Archives of Disease in Childhood 101, no. 9 (August 17, 2016): e2.56-e2. http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/archdischild-2016-311535.6.
Abstract:
IntroductionThe local Clinical Commissioning Group has funded an innovative one-year pilot project to assess the value of providing specialist paediatric pharmacist and physiotherapist support direct to families and health care professionals (GP's, community pharmacists, practice nurses etc.) regarding asthma in the primary care setting. Currently no such support is provided within community setting by physiotherapy or pharmacy.MethodsJoint holistic reviews by the clinical specialist physiotherapist and specialist paediatric pharmacist were performed in the patient's home environment or school. The review involved a thorough respiratory review and in-depth medication optimisation review ensuring patients were on appropriate regimes and using devices appropriately. Specifically, if an inhaler was indicated a device that the patient was comfortable using was chosen. Furthermore, parents, patients, teachers and school support workers were counselled on how to self manage asthma exacerbations. In order to review benefits patients answered the five question asthma control test (score out of 25), a standardised quality of life questionnaire (score out of 92) and hospital admissions were monitored.ResultsAt the six-month stage of the project a total of 42 patients had been reviewed and followed up by the project. During the review period there was a total of 1 hospital admission and 1 attendance to the accident and emergency, this is in comparison to the 8 hospital admissions and 47 accident and emergency attendances with this group of patients in the same period the previous year. All patients had an improvement in outcome measures. The average improvement in asthma control test after intervention was 7 points (30%) and a 30% increase in QoL score. We found that symptomatic children had poor FEF25-75 values (<80%) indicating poor lower airways function possibly due to poor drug deposition. After interventions these scores returned to normal limits (>80%). Compliance to medications regimes was noted to be improved after optimisation.ConclusionsIt can be clearly seen that joint multidisciplinary reviews by physiotherapy and pharmacy can help improve the outcomes of asthma patients. The joint review of inhaler technique in particular was key. Pharmacy services will tend to concentrate on the use of the device itself whereas physiotherapy monitor the strength and depth of breathes taken. It is well known that good drug deposition is key to the success of inhaled medications. By combining pharmacy and physiotherapy both the use of the device and breathing patterns were optimised both contributing to better drug deposition and improved FEF 25–75% reading. Optimisation of medication was also vital. By ensuring the patient was happy with the device they were using and that it had little negative impact on their daily routine compliance with medications was increased. At the six month stage of the pilot this aspect has proven vital to outcomes in asthmatic patients.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT IMPACT: Lack of regulatory knowledge and education is a key barrier to the translation of medical devices and we describe the design and results for a university graduate-level course providing training on medical device regulatory submissions for approval that can help fill this unmet need and improve and accelerate translational success. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Within the Indiana CTSI, the Medical Technology Advance Program (MTAP) in the Purdue University Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering (BME) offers three courses in regulatory science and regulatory affairs for medical devices. One course is focused on regulatory submissions for approval, and this report details the course design and evaluation. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: For Fall 2020, the Regulatory Submissions for Approval course was enhanced to increase participation from regulatory professionals in US FDA and industry, with the core content, curriculum and course design led by BME faculty. The course was taught two days per week and included both in-person and remote (synchronous or asynchronous) attendance options. During the first class session each week a topic was covered in standard lecture format by BME faculty with industry regulatory experience. During the second class session, guests from both industry and FDA were invited to provide in-depth discussion on the topic, share perspectives and viewpoints, present real-world examples, experiences, and case studies, and answer student questions. An end of semester survey evaluated the effectiveness of the course design. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Medical Device regulatory submissions and related activities were taught including product classification, presubmissions and meetings, 510(k), de novo, EUA, PMA, HDE, and advisory panels. FDA history, regulatory careers, regulatory science, and EU, China, and Japan regulations were also discussed. Overall, 29 speakers from FDA and industry participated live via video calls. A survey completed by 21/23 studentsrevealed overall satisfaction: all reported increased regulatory understanding and 20/21 learned ‘a lot’ or ‘an incredible amount’. The weekly lecture was the top factor contributing to learning, and guest speakers were the next most important factors. Nearly all students indicated FDA and industry speakers were ‘very’ or ‘extremely’ valuable/helpful. Additional results will be presented. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: The three courses are designed to improve medical device translation by training students to better understand regulatory processes and pathways. Survey results and feedback indicated this course was successful. Continued participation from FDA and industry is critical to the learning. Additional case studies will also help enhance learning.

Abstract:
Objectives. Our objective in this study was to identify the risk factors for cigarette, e-cigarette, and IQOS use among adolescents in Taiwan, with a particular focus on socioeconomic status, smoking status of parents and peers, cigarette promotions, and anti-tobacco campaigns. Methods. Data were obtained from the 2018 version of the annual cross-sectional Taiwan Global Youth Tobacco Survey, which is used to monitor tobacco use among Taiwanese adolescents in junior and senior high schools. The dependent variables in the study were “current cigarette smoking,” “current use of e-cigarettes,” and “current use of IQOS devices” (i.e., during the 30 days prior to survey completion). Independent variables included gender, school grade, monthly income/allowance, educational level of parents, smoking status of parents, smoking status of close friends, access to free cigarettes, exposure to cigarette advertisements, and attendance at anti-tobacco courses. Logistic regression was used in the identification of factors correlated with the current use of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, or IQOS. Results. We determined that 5.65% of the adolescents in the study were currently using cigarettes, 2.74% were currently using e-cigarettes, and 2.33% were currently using IQOS. Our analysis revealed a number of factors that have a bearing on smoking behavior, including gender, monthly allowance, educational level of parents, smoking status of parents and close friends, access to free cigarettes, and exposure to cigarette advertisements. Conclusions. The tobacco product that was most widely used by adolescents was cigarettes, followed by e-cigarettes and IQOS. The socioeconomic status, smoking status of parents/close friends, and access to cigarettes were all identified as important factors related to the current use of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and IQOS by adolescents.

Buckingham Journal of Language and Linguistics 8 (October 14, 2015): 56–78. http://dx.doi.org/10.5750/bjll.v1i0.1047.
Abstract:
Empirical research studies of finance students’ language use have investigated students’ performance in finance courses and the effect of class attendance on students’ performance.Similarly, research on accounting students’ texts has been directed at readability of accounting narratives and lexical choices. Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) based research in multimodal communication and representation has been confined to school and workplace contexts. Whereas multimodal communication investigations in tertiary contexts has been conducted across the fields of mathematics, science and computing, and nursing, business courses have not been explored. The purpose of this paper is to report on a case study designed to investigate the key multimodal academic literacy and numeracy practices of ten international Master of Commerce Accounting students enrolled at an Australian university. Specifically, it aims to provide an account of the salient textual and the logical patterns through the analysis of cohesive devices in a key topic in the Principles of Finance course, namely capital budgeting techniques and management reports. This study is pertinent as most international ESL/EFL students’ enrolments in Australia and elsewhere is in business programs. This study is underpinned by Halliday’s (1985) Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) approach to language and Halliday and Hasan’s (1976) cohesion analysis scheme. The study employs a Systemic Functional Multimodal Discourse Analysis (SF-MDA) for the analysis of cohesive devices in the participants’ multimodal texts. Lexical cohesion formed the largest percentage of use, and in particular repetition of the same lexical items, followed by reference.The findings contribute to the description of the meaning-making processes in these multimodal artefacts. They provide a potential research tool for similar investigations across a broad range of educational settings. Implications of the findings for finance students and educators are finally presented.

"Hikikomori (Severe Social Withdrawal) in Italian Adolescents: Clinical Features and Follow-Up." Children 10, no. 10 (October 9, 2023): 1669. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/children10101669.
Abstract:
Severe social withdrawal, including staying alone in one’s bedroom, non-attendance at school or work, and minimal or absent social contacts, sometimes only through electronic devices, can be found in several psychiatric disorders, or in a ‘primary’ form, firstly defined in Japan as ‘Hikikomori’. The distinction between primary and secondary forms is questionable, as it prevalently depends on the quality of psychiatric assessment. To date, few studies specifically explored Hikikomori in an adolescent population outside Japan. The aim of the present study is to describe clinical features of a consecutive group of 80 referred youth (13 to 18 years, 57 males) with social isolation, of which 40 were followed up on for 4–6 months, to characterize clinical features and outcome. All the participants presented psychiatric comorbid disorders, prevalently anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and autism spectrum disorder. Suicidality (ideation and behavior) was reported in 32.5% of the participants, and 20% of the participants attempted suicide. More than half of the participants exceeded the cut-off of the Internet Addiction Test, and 42.4% met the criteria for the Internet Gaming Disorder. At the follow-up appointment, an improvement of social withdrawal was reported in 75% of the sample; 67.5% of the participants significantly improved according to the CGI-improvement scale; and 55% of the participants had an improvement of functioning according to the C-GAS. Our findings suggest that Hikikomori is a transnosographic entity, with high rates of suicidality and Internet addiction, and that can it improve when it is timely diagnosed and treated.

Abstract:
Purpose: This project aimed to test an IoT and AI based system that monitor students from home to schools, during class hours and from school to home and notify parents and school administrators about the irregularity observed to their respective children.
Methodology: In this project, secondary data was used and was retrieved from the school’s record of Wisdom School Musanze located in Musanze District. The main data to consider were sex whether male or female. Another important data was orphanage,whether pupil is orphan or not orphan, and school fees payment by checking whether student paid school fees or had not paid. These mentioned data were taken randomly from senior one (S1) to senior six (S6) in academic year 2020-2021.
Findings: The system is equipped of a finger print sensor to register and verify students and staff attendance, a Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor to detect the presence of human to wake-up the device, a real time clock to synchronize each generated report with the local time. A web application is developed to allow students real-time monitoring for parents and school administrators and the system is be able to generate a daily, monthly and annually report.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Classification machine learning with decision-tree algorithm is used to analyze data and generate a model to evaluate the impact of monitoring attendance on preventing students to dropout. The generated model with accuracy of 91.4% shows that keeping students’ attendance at high percentage would reduce significantly the dropout rate in secondary schools of Rwanda.

Abstract:
Attendance taking is one of a tedious and important tasks in colleges, universities, organizations, schools, and offices, which must be done on a daily basis. The majority of the time, it is done manually, such as by calling by name or by roll number. The main goal of this project is to create a Face Recognition-based attendance system that will turn this manual process into an automated one. This project meets the requirements for bringing modernization to the way attendance is handled, as well as the criteria for time management. This device is installed in the classroom, where and student's information, such as name, roll number, class, sec, and photographs, is trained. The images are extracted using Open CV. Before the start of the corresponding class, the student can approach the machine, which will begin taking pictures and comparing them to the qualified dataset. Logitech C270 web camera and NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer kit were used in this project as the camera and processing board. The image is processed as follows: first, faces are identified using a Haarcascade classifier, then faces are recognized using the LBPH (Local Binary Pattern Histogram) Algorithm, histogram data is checked against an established dataset, and the device automatically labels attendance. An Excel sheet is developed, and it is updated every hour with the information from the respective class instructor.

Abstract:
The Student Attendance Monitoring System (SAMS) utilizing Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) modules revolutionizes traditional attendance tracking methods. The system employs RFID cards assigned to both students and teachers, facilitating seamless attendance recording. When a teacher swipes their RFID card, indicating the start of the class, students are prompted to swipe their RFID cards, automatically marking their attendance. Upon successful attendance recording, the system triggers an SMS notification to parents, affirming their child's attendance. Additionally, the inclusion of a dedicated button allows for real-time reporting of attendance statistics to the principal. By pressing the button, the system transmits the number of classes attended by individual students directly to the principal's device, ensuring timely monitoring of student participation. This innovative system streamlines attendance management, enhances communication between school and parents, and provides administrators with valuable insights into student attendance patterns, fostering a conductive learning environment.

Abstract:
Implementing an attendance system in schools and colleges is crucial, and relying on manual methods poses challenges such as reduced accuracy and maintenance issues. Utilizing face recognition techniques can significantly enhance accuracy and efficiency compared to traditional methods. Various existing systems incorporate technologies like face recognition using IoT, PIR sensors, and hardware devices, but maintaining these sensors can be challenging. We aim to address these challenges by implementing a system based on the Haar Cascade Algorithm, known for its high accuracy. This algorithm can capture images effectively within a range of 50-70cm. To simplify the process, we are developing a user-friendly graphical interface that enables image capture, dataset creation, and one-click dataset training. Upon successful face recognition, the system will display the student’s name and roll number, automatically recording this information in an attendance sheet with the corresponding time and date.

Abstract:
The teacher presence information system is a strategic step to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of education in schools. With advances in technology, currently, especially in the field of website development, a website attendance system is needed to facilitate the academic community in carrying out administrative processes. By using the website, the presence system becomes more effective because the academic community can access it from any device. The existence of a web-based presence system also reduces the risk of data loss and damage because the data has been stored in computerized Big Data. The method used in this study uses the Waterfall method or what is often called the Waterfall model. The steps taken are needs analysis, system design using UML (Unifeld Modeling Language), Use Case Diagrams, Activity Diagrams, Class Diagrams, Sequence Diagrams, the programming language used is HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language), PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor), CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) in addition to Jquery, MySQL as a Database and testing with black box testing. Designing, creating and building an information system is a complex process, involving various aspects such as User requirements, Interface design, the ability to record attendance history, data management processes, and the use of software development methods. the main goal is to create a system that can provide maximum benefits in managing teacher attendance in the school environment. The use of QR Code technology in designing a website teacher attendance information system is to take advantage of modern innovations to optimize efficiency and accuracy in the attendance process.

Abstract:
Attendance is an important task in any institution. Manual methods generally waste a lot of time. They are also not the safest and fastest option. In schools and colleges, the most common technique for attendance is calling the students' names, and in industries, the most common method is signing a register which generally needs extra time to do the attendance. A "Smart Attendance System with Protection" is proposed to solve these problems. This project is mainly divided into 3 parts according to its applications which includes, attendance, thermal screening and ultrasonic sensors. For the automatic attendance part, the Local Binary Pattern Histogram (LBPH) method is used for the face recognition of the person. LBPH is considered the most useful technique for face recognition. For the second part of the project, thermal screening, a sensor (MLX90614) is used to take the temperature of the person and check if it is normal or not. In the third part of the project, ultrasonic sensors are used to detect the hands of the person. Under the sanitization section, and after detection, a small pump motor is used to pour the sanitizer into the hands of the person for the sanitization of their hands. Manual records can be easily extracted from the Smart Attendance System when needed. Attendance record manipulation is not possible in the system. The proposed device uses the Raspberry Pi, IRT, Ultrasonic Sensor, Pi Camera, and Pump Motor. An attendance record is generated and stored in excel format.

Abstract:
Mathematically literate students should view mathematics as a way of looking at their environment that aids understanding and adds insight This attitude toward mathe matics can be fostered in the daily routines of the classroom. Mathematical experiences need not be restricted to the “math period” but can be incorporated throughout the school day. The importance of making mathematical connections, both within mathematics and between mathematics and other curriculum areas, is emphasized by the inclusion of “mathematical connection” as one of the curriculum standards for school mathematics (NCTM 1989). This article how how a simple manipulative device useful for taking attendance can be used to exercise mathematical thinking processes in a variety of contexts at different grade levels throughout elementary school.

"RFID Attendance System with Contagious Disease Prevention Module using Internet-of-Things Technology." International Journal of Interactive Mobile Technologies (iJIM) 17, no. 18 (September 20, 2023): 4–15. http://dx.doi.org/10.3991/ijim.v17i18.41603.
Abstract:
This paper presents the development and implementation of an innovative Internet of Things (IoT)-based RFID attendance system integrated with a module focused on curbing the spread of contagious diseases in densely populated settings, such as schools and workplaces. Recognizing the limitations of existing radio frequency identification (RFID) attendance systems, an extensive analysis of prior works was conducted to identify crucial functionalities necessary for an effective solution. Leveraging the IoT paradigm, we devised a 3-layer architecture encompassing thermometer sensors, RFID technology, Arduino microcontrollers, Wi-Fi connectivity, and the message queuing telemetry transport (MQTT) protocol to facilitate seamless data transmission and storage. The resulting prototype enables real-time monitoring of feverish symptoms, serving as an early warning system for potential contagious illnesses while streamlining attendance management. Data collected from the IoT devices is securely stored in a centralized database and accessed through an intuitive information system embedded within the IoT application. Users can effortlessly view and manage attendance data, while administrators gain access to health-related metrics, enabling timely responses to health concerns. User evaluations of the developed system resulted in an outstanding “A” rating, validating its reliability, functionality, and user satisfaction. Future improvements involve real-world testing, scalability assurance, integration with health authorities for comprehensive data management, and automated alerts for potential disease outbreaks.

Abstract:
COVID-19 had a severe impact on teaching and learning in schools and tertiary education institutions. Human Rights Watch (Impact of Covid-19 on Children’s Education in Africa, 2022) posits that due to the closure of many schools in African countries, a significant majority of learners were excluded from continuing their education as learning and teaching halted. The pandemic has also had its effect on the higher education sector within the South African context, however, data about non-attendance and drop-out seems not to be freely available as revealed by searching online. Nonetheless, it is reasonable to assume that there were drop-outs and non-attendance by students, however, not to the same extent as within schools as universities embarked on contingency plans to minimize dropouts. Nelson Mandela University in Gqeberha South Africa where the author of this editorial resides, implemented contingency plans within weeks of the COVID pandemic outbreak to offer students ICT devices on loan, e.g. by debiting it against their student accounts while Wi-Fi data access was secured through collaboration with internet providers. It appears that the university sector was able to be more proactive than schools, which can probably be attributed to the fact that the majority of universities have their own ICT infrastructures. In addition, many modules incorporated the use of ICT in various ways, including the use of learning management systems such as Moodle or similar. This resulted in many universities being better prepared to embrace the opportunity to extend online teaching, learning, and assessment in various forms during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract:
Globally, Students with Low Academic Achievement (LAA) are usually presented with lack of mindfulness’ symptoms which are the signs of stress and anxiety. Also, the growing rate of highly competitive job market, poverty, hunger and general inflation in price of goods and services occasioned by COVID-19 could be held responsible for additional stress and anxiety among science students. Consequently, Mindfulness Strategies aiming at relieving students stress and anxiety will be of great benefit to the students trying to cope with the attendant struggles and improve their performance in core science subjects chiefly Chemistry and English Language which is a core subject for all secondary school students. This study hereby aims to examine the teaching of Chemistry and English Language with the Mnemonic Devices for Science Students’ Mindfulness in Nigerian Secondary schools. Through the literature reviewed, it was found that the use of mnemonics in the teaching of Chemistry and English Language improves students’ interests, retention, academic achievement, and mindfulness among science students. It was however concluded that the use of mnemonics is a mindfulness strategy which could be used to improve Science students’ academic achievement and retention. It is hereby suggested that science and English Language teachers should learn to use mnemonics devices regularly in their classrooms to ensure that the science students benefit from its mindfulness potentials.

Abstract:
Due to its potential use in numerous fields, face recognition technology has attracted a lot of attention lately. The monitoring of kids using face recognition technology is one such area of focus. The purpose of this abstract is to give a general understanding of the idea and its ramifications. Face recognition is a technique for monitoring students that uses sophisticated algorithms to recognize and track people based on their facial traits. It is possible to use this technology in educational settings to improve security precautions, simplify attendance monitoring, and keep track of student behavior. The face recognition technology works by taking pictures of students' faces with cameras positioned at key areas throughout the school. These photos are then analyzed and compared to a database of students who have registered. The system can reliably identify people, ensuring that only those with permission can access particular locations and services. Face recognition can automate attendance tracking, improving security while doing away with human procedures. The device may instantly record a student's attendance by merely scanning their face, hence minimizing administrative work and inaccuracies. Additionally, face recognition can be utilized to keep an eye on student behavior. The technology is capable of identifying unauthorized access or suspicious activity and immediately notifying the proper personnel. This could lessen instances of violence, theft, or damage within the institution. Using facial recognition technology to keep an eye on students has many advantages, including increased security, easier attendance tracking, and behavior monitoring. Although the use of such systems necessitates careful consideration of ethical and privacy issues, when used properly, they can help create a more secure and effective.

Abstract:
Background:Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an ultra-rare disease characterized by malformed great toes and progressive heterotopic ossification (HO) in soft tissues. Current standard-of-care is aimed at palliation of symptoms; there are no currently approved therapies to prevent HO. Recurrent episodes of HO starting in early life lead to cumulative disability, severe functional limitations, and shortened life span. Most individuals require assistive devices and extensive caregiver support before the second decade of life. Caregiver support is thought to be high, but the timing and extent of caregiver support in FOP has not been formally assessed. Methods: Using data from the International FOP Association (IFOPA) Global Registry on 299 patients (median age 21 years; range 0.1 to 78 years) from 54 countries, we characterized the extent of caregiver support by assessing the number of part-time and full-time caregivers and school aides reported by participants, based on age. Results: Over 50% of FOP Registry respondents reported a need for part-time or full-time home personal care attendants. The percentage of individuals who reported a requirement for bathing attendants and part- or full-time home personal care attendants increased with age (>1 part-time or full-time caregiver exceeded 30% for individuals >15 years of age), as did the number of part-time or full-time attendants. Support from school aides peaked between 9 and 15 years of age. Conclusion: Caregiver support in FOP is high in terms of time and amount of support needed, increases rapidly with age, and is substantial by the second decade of life. These findings highlight the urgent need for transformative treatments that will preserve the independence of individuals with FOP.

Abstract:
This study uses a combination of empirical analysis to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the role of digital media and student management in higher vocational colleges. The results show that the current application status of digital media in student management shows extensive and profound impact. With the rapid development of information technology, digital media has become an important tool for student management in higher vocational colleges, covering many aspects such as course management, attendance management, and student information inquiry, greatly improving management efficiency and convenience. By establishing a digital system, the school has achieved comprehensive coverage of student information management and online education. At the same time, digital media also plays an important role in students' social interaction and has become an indispensable part of students' daily lives. However, digital media applications also bring some problems. Information overload and distraction can make it difficult for students to focus, while security risks threaten student privacy. Solving these problems requires schools to take effective measures, such as improving information literacy and security awareness, and establishing a complete information security system. The impact of digital media on student development is complex and diverse. Its advantage lies in providing a broad learning space and diversified learning methods to promote students' communication and socialization. However, negative effects such as information overload and Internet addiction cannot be ignored. In order to better guide students to use digital media, schools and families need to strengthen digital media literacy education, pay attention to students' mental health, and strengthen network security. In student management, the advantages of digital media are mainly reflected in improving efficiency and interactivity, and promoting management innovation and development. However, the popularization of digital media needs to face issues such as technical and device support, security and privacy protection. By strengthening measures such as construction, training, supervision and management, schools can better leverage the advantages of digital media and improve management efficiency and service quality. Going forward, digital media will play an even more important role in student management. Intelligent management, expanding management fields and promoting student self-management will be the direction of future development. However, the security and popularity of digital media remain challenges that need to be addressed. By strengthening comprehensive measures such as construction, training, supervision and management, schools can better guide the future development of digital media in student management, provide students with more intelligent, personalized and efficient services, and promote their all-round development.
