<p>Teaching is essential for all education systems. Shifting the teaching schedule is also necessary to teachers in the university. Excellent time schedule improves the work effectively. To manage the time schedule, the student-teacher ratio is the important role. Student-teacher ratio is the number of students who attend a school or university divided by the number of teachers in the institution [1]. The purpose of this study is to decide the optimum size of teachers to teach in the university. Firstly, the required data are sought from the department of student affairs from University of Computer Studies (Sittway). Daily shift required teachers to teach are determined. They work five consecutive days and have two consecutive days off. Their five days of work can start on any day of the week and the schedule rotates. Then model the linear programming problem and solve this by using Simplex method (minimization case) or by using Excel solver.</p>

The research tries to answer the question of ‘does religion, education, and social surroundings play a role in developing a student’s ethical behavior?’ To understand more on the topic, I have surveyed students at the Labuan branch of University Malaysia Sabah in Malaysia, a public university where most of the students are taking a first degree in Business and Computer Studies. Using a survey questionnaire, I test five important hypotheses: whether ethical attitudes are affected by religiosity, religion, social life, university education, and by what happens around them at home. The objective of the survey is to determine whether their awareness of ethical conduct is based on their religion, courses taken at the university, or other external factors. The result of the survey will show whether ethical awareness is determined by internal factors such as religion and home education, or by external factors such as university and school education, courses taken at the university or their social life.

At present, teaching programming to future teachers is superficial or is excluded from computer science curricular. Only programming fundamentals are taught during computer studies, and skills acquired during the training are not applied in practice. The aims of this article are 1) to develop a programming course for teacher training disciplines that are taught in training units of the Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University (NEFU), and 2) give recommendations to apply features of the programming language Python in the professional activities of future teachers. This work applies the iterative methodological approach to undertake the study in various groups of students of NEFU from 2016 to 2019. Quantitative and objective indicators are used. Results show which modules of Python are the most appropriate for students to study for their future professional teaching activities. The training course "Use of the language Python by future teachers" is developed, and will be taught in all training units of the university, that have teacher training disciplines. The article determines a direction of future research related to teaching programming, which is important for all computer studies.

This paper describes a study of surgical diagnosis assisted by a computer. The study was carried out in the University of Leeds, involved the Department of Surgery and the Centre for Computer Studies and made use of an English Electric KDF9 computer. A real-life real-time controlled trial was carried out on a consecutive unselected series of 552 further patients. This trial included all patients who presented to the Department of Surgery between January 1971 and August 1972 with abdominal pain of less than 1 week’s duration. The pre-operative diagnosis of the most senior clinician who saw each case was accurate in some 81% of the patients studied. Using the same information (and producing its ‘diagnosis’ before the operation), the computer-aided system proved to be accurate in 91.5% of the cases. The cost of each computer ‘diagnosis’ was around 10 new pence per case. On these grounds it is suggested that the results of this initial study justify further modestly extended trials of the system.

Fewer females than males enroll in secondary and tertiary computing courses. This has implications for both the national economy and for the development of women as individuals. Explanations for gender differences in enrollments place varying emphasis on 1) social learning explanations focusing on the importance of experience, encouragement from significant others, the provision of male role models, and the generalization of pre-existing attitudes to mathematics and science, 2) category-based explanations of computer selection and avoidance, 3) beliefs about gender differences in abilities, and 4) gender differences in attributions for success and failure. Using a sample of 222 Australian first year tertiary students enrolled in a compulsory unit of computer studies, data were collected from questionnaires and the university database. Initial gender differences in computing experience and attitudes were found. Women were less likely to intend to pursue further computing studies, although their achievement was comparable to that of men. Achievement related to computing experience and in the case of men, to mathematics experience. Intentions to pursue further computing studies related to attitudes to computing and, in the case of women to mathematics experience and attitudes to statistics. The results are discussed in terms of the different roles of prior experience and attitudes and the implications for changing women's attitudes to computing.

The fifty-second meeting of the Modern Language Associationof America was held, on the invitation of the University of Cincinnati, at Cincinnati, Ohio, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, December 30 and 31, 1935, and January 1, 1936. The Association headquarters were in the Netherland Plaza Hotel, where all meetings were held except those of Tuesday morning and afternoon. These took place at the University of Cincinnati. Registration cards at headquarters were signed by about 900, though a considerably larger number of members were in attendance. The Local Committee estimated the attendance at not less than 1400. This Committee consisted of Professor Frank W. Chandler, Chairman; Professor Edwin H. Zeydel; Professor Phillip Ogden; Mr. John J. Rowe (for the Directors); and Mr. Joseph S. Graydon (for the Alumni).

Nowadays more and more of the reductions of astronomical data are made with electronic computers. As we in Uppsala have an IBM 1620 at the University, we have taken it to our help with reductions of spectrophotometric data. Here I will briefly explain how we use it now and how we want to use it in the near future.
