Reducing the risk of failure in working on software projects is one of the successes for the company. It can be done by implementing project planning management properly. One important aspect of ...project management planning is scheduling. Scheduling includes recording human resources and tasks in the project. The Kanban method is one of the methods used to overcome problems in controlling project schedules. This study aims to develop a project scheduling system that applies the Kanban method. In this research, project management and scheduling system will be developed using the Kanban method. This system expected to be able to assist companies in handling projects. Kanban was chosen because it can easily respond to project changes, easily implemented, and company needs. In this study, unit testing was performed on the system's three main features and tested the validity of the system's 49 functional requirements. The usability test produces a value of 76. Based on the validation and usability test results, it can be concluded that the system is included in the acceptable category.
The purpose of this research is to create a front-end website engine to improve the efficiency of front-end website creation called Expanpixel Bladsy Stranica (EBS). The method of making front-end ...website engine adopts computer aided software engineering (CASE) tool model, then to make it easier to access anywhere, it is made online (website-based), and evaluated by way of manual creation of front-end website and using EBS. After that the data obtained were analyzed using statistical formula. Results of increasing efficiency of front-end website creation performance that occurred on average by 83.60% of the overall developer.
Digital technologies have helped ensure that mining-influenced water (MIW) is treated and managed effectively in water treatment plants. This paper presents two new intelligent mine water management ...(iMineWa) tools,
e
Metsi, and a machine learning graphical user interface (ML-GUI), to help improve practices in mine water treatment plants.
e
Metsi, which means electronic water in Setswana language, is a framework that uses near-field communication (NFC) technology in conjunction with mobile and website applications in mine water sampling. It incorporates application of NFC microchips to sampling bottles, usage of mobile application for recording on-site data during sampling, and website application for data display and storage.
e
Metsi enables fast data communication between the samplers, laboratory technicians, and client, and thus helps users to attain sampling and sample analysis targets. ML-GUI is an artificial intelligence-driven user interface that can be used to build predictive models. Even mine water treatment plant operators without programming experience can use ML-GUI to build ML models, which they can use to perform forecasting analysis to plan what chemicals and methods they need to use to manage MIW. Finally,
e
Metsi and ML-GUI could potentially also be used in other industries such as municipal waste water treatment plants, water resource management, and agriculture.
In Next Generation Network (NGN), IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) plays an important role to offer IP-based multimedia services. Based on Chunghwa Telecom's NGN/IMS, we develop linear-type data ...transmission applications such as Bulletin Board System (BBS) or forum-based websites to deliver new articles to the mobile users. We propose the push-N method that pushes every N articles from the BBS server to the user. When the user actually connects to the BBS, the not-yet-pushed messages are pulled by the user. Our study indicates that by selecting appropriate N values, push-N can balance against the push and the pull operations, and therefore improves the user access experience without wasting too much network resources.
Though innovation is a popular theme of LIS literature, its specific meaning for libraries remains obscure. Clarifying the implicit definition of innovation in librarianship can facilitate a more ...meaningful use of the term. To do so, we employ a ground-up exploration of innovation through the white literature in conjunction with a detailed survey of website features, of 160 libraries across the United States and Canada.
Few organizations take full advantage of the value their users can provide toward the security of their Web site. Users who care about the data they've entrusted to a Web site are naturally inclined ...to assist if properly engaged. They can be extremely responsive in raising red flags if and when an incident occurs, probably faster in many cases than an intrusion detection system (IDS). Here, the author offers five user-customizable security features, most of which, if not all, have been seen on the Web, which helps make the Web site more inline with customers' security expectations.
The Covid-19 pandemic is having an undeniable impact on all the statements of society. Regarding teaching and learning activities, most educational institutions suspended in-person instruction and ...moved to remote learning during the lockdown of March and April 2020. Although nowadays many countries have progressively re-opened their educational systems, blended learning is a common practice aimed to reduce the spread of the Covid-19 disease. This disruption has supposed an unprecedented acceleration to the digitalization of teaching and learning. Teaching professionals have been forced to develop their digital competence in a short amount of time, getting mastery in the management of information, the creation of audiovisual contents, and the use of technology to keep their students connected. This Special Issue presents contributions regarding the adoption of distance learning strategies, experiences, or lessons learned in this domain.
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in many educational changes, especially the shift towards the use of technology in all subjects. This longitudinal study was conducted to investigate the effect of ...learning environments—blended and online, alone and with graded-reading websites/applications—on the reading comprehension of Saudi undergraduates majoring in English during COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, 130 participants were selected (control: male N = 21, female N = 54; or experimental: male N = 21, female N = 34). Although the four gender-based groups were exposed to the same learning environments—first blended and later online, which were either partially or dependent on technology—only the male and female experimental groups were required to use graded-reading websites/applications for approximately 10 months during the COVID-19 school lockdowns. All participants took four tests (pretest, posttest 1, posttest 2, and delayed posttest). Using the SPSS program, the results indicated that the learning environments alone had a limited positive effect on the control groups’ reading comprehension in the short term, which either decreased significantly (male control group) or remained unchanged (female control group) in the long term. There were significant differences between all control groups and experimental groups across all tests (p < 0.000). However, the experimental male group outperformed their male counterpart across all posttests except for the second posttest: experimental male group mean was 15.43 whereas it was 16.19 for the control male group. However, combining learning environments and graded-reading websites/applications yielded gradual positive effects on the reading comprehension of the experimental groups in the short term, which continued into the long term for the male experimental group. The experimental groups outperformed the control groups on at least two out of three posttests. The study concluded that the effect of technology on the reading comprehension of Saudi male and female undergraduates is bounded by the type of specialized technology (i.e., reading websites/applications) and the applied learning environments (i.e., blended and online). Additionally, the study indicated that there is a need to investigate other important factors related to technology used in Saudi institutes, as well as its effects on students’ learning processes in ongoing changes in the education sector in Saudi Arabia.
