Abstract. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of student learning in the coastal areas of the island of Sumatra at the time of the Covid-19 virus pandemic using e-learning. The respondent is an accounting student at the state Polytechnic in Bengkalis where almost all students live in the coastal areas of the island and differ from those in urban areas. The variables examined the perception of benefits, perception of ease, and quality of service towards the use of e-learning and the effectiveness of student learning. The results showed a perception of benefits and quality of service impacting the use of e-learning and the effectiveness of student learning. While the perception of simplicity does not affect the use of e-learning and the effectiveness of student learning. The results of research using track analysis show that variable perception of benefits and quality of service affects the effectiveness of learning through the use of e-learning as a mediation variable. While the variable perception of ease has no influence on the effectiveness of student learning through the use of e-learning as a mediation variable.

La posibilidades de interactividad propias de la IPTV (e.g., video bajo demanda, pago por ver, E-Learning), hacen prever, a corto plazo, el fortalecimiento de su presencia en el país. Esa masificación, sumada al hecho de ser un servicio que se presta en tiempo real y a su reconocida sensibilidad a la latencia, los retardos y la pérdida de paquetes, constituyen un reto para proveer un servicio que reúna las expectativas de calidad de sus usuarios. En esa tarea, administrar la prioridad en el tráfico puede ser fundamental. Los mecanismos de QoS (Quality of Service) pueden ser un gran aliado, al permitir el manejo rápido de aplicaciones de misión crítica. El artículo inicia con una visión general de la IPTV, sus servicios y arquitectura; la presentación de algunos conceptos aplicados al tema (e.g. QoS, QoE, IPTV sobre ADSL) y cierra con la presentación de mecanismos de calidad de servicio aplicados a IPTV y una valoración de la situación de dos proveedores de este servicio en Colombia.

Auto-scaling is one of the most important features in Cloud computing. This feature promises cloud computing customers the ability to best adapt the capacity of their systems to the load they are facing while maintaining the Quality of Service (QoS). This adaptation will be done automatically by increasing or decreasing the amount of resources being leveraged against the workload’s resource demands. There are two types and several techniques of auto-scaling proposed in the literature. However, regardless the type or technique of auto-scaling used, over-provisioning or under-provisioning problem is often observed. In this paper, we model the auto-scaling mechanism with the Stochastic Well-formed coloured Nets (SWN). The simulation of the SWN model allows us to find the state of the system (the number of requests to be dispatched, the idle times of the started resources) from which the auto-scaling mechanism must be operated in order to minimize the amount of used resources without violating the service-level agreements (SLA).

This chapter discusses the state of the art in dealing with the resource optimization problem for smooth delivery of video across a peer to peer (P2P) network. It further discusses the properties of using different video coding techniques such as Scalable Video Coding (SVC) and Multiple Descriptive Coding (MDC) to overcome the playback latency in multimedia streaming and maintains an adequate quality of service (QoS) among the users. The problem can be summarized as follows; Given that a video is requested by a peer in the network, what properties of SVC and MDC can be exploited to deliver the video with the highest quality, least upload bandwidth and least delay from all participating peers. However, the solution to these problems is known to be NP hard. Hence, this chapter presents the state of the art in approximation algorithms or techniques that have been proposed to overcome these issues.

This paper provides the state of art and hints on how to lay the foundations of an adaptive QoS approach in Next Generation Networks (NGN). The key idea is to provide a model, which would offer one application version or another, depending on the Quality of Service (QoS) negotiated at the session establishment in a NGN. The stake of this research is a better-balanced usage of the network, for maximizing the service offered to the user given his or her network capacities. It encompasses the model for such an implementation in a NGN as IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS).

This study aims to improve the quality of learning in physics learning planning courses through the implementation of Project Based Learning (PjBL) assisted by E-Learning through Lesson Study activities. This type of research was qualitative research through the stages of Lesson Study activities. Subjects in this study were the 5th-semester students who program 11 physics learning planning subjects in the 2018-2019 academic year in the Department of Physics Education, University of Papua. The research data was obtained through the student learning outcomes test instrument that was given after the submission of each topic of study, observation sheet of student activities, interview guidelines, documentation in the form of video recordings during open class implementation, and student response questionnaire. Data were analyzed through Rasch modeling with the help of the Winstep application to analyze student responses after learning. Lesson Study activities consist of three phases of activities, namely Plan, Do, and See. In the Plan stage discussions with the team of lecturers were held to develop Chapter Design and Lesson Plan. In the Do stage, the model lecturer based on the tools that have been prepared does learning. In the See stage, the reflection was done to find out weaknesses and strengths during learning which is then followed up on further learning. The results showed that student-learning outcomes increased student responses to good learning and learning atmosphere seemed very fun. Therefore, it can be concluded that through the implementation of PjBL assisted E-Learning through Lesson Study activities can improve the quality of learning in physics learning planning subjects.

IP networks are built around the idea of best effort networking, which makes no guarantees regarding the delivery, speed, and accuracy of the transmitted data. While this model is suitable for a large number of applications, and works well for almost all applications when the network load is low (and therefore there is no congestion), there are two main factors that lead to the need for an additional capability of quality of service guarantees. One is the fact that an increasing number of Internet applications are related to real-time and other multimedia data, which have greater service requirements in order to be satisfying to the user. The other is that Internet usage is steadily increasing, and although the network infrastructure is also updated often, it is not always certain that network resource offerings will be ahead of usage demand. In order to deal with this situation, IETF has developed two architectures in order to enable QoS-based handling of data flows in IP networks. This article describes and compares these two architectures.

IP Telephony provides a way for an enterprise to extend consistent communication services to all employees, whether they are in main campus locations, at branch offices, or working remotely, also with a mobile phone. IP Telephony transmits voice communications over a network using open standard-based Internet protocols. This is both the strength and weakness of IP Telephony as the involved basic transport protocols (RTP, UDP, and IP) are not able to natively guarantee the required application quality of service (QoS). From the point of view of an IP Telephony Service Provider this definitely means possible waste of clients and money. Specifically the problem is at two different levels: i) in some countries, wherelong distance and particularly international call tariffs are high, perhaps due to a lack of competition or due to cross subsidies to other services, the major opportunity for IP Telephony Service Providers is for price arbitrage. This means working on diffusion of an acceptable service, although not at high quality levels; ii) in other countries, where different IP Telephony Service Providers already exist, the problem is competition for offering the best possible quality. The main idea behind this chapter is to analyze specifically the state of the art playout control strategies with the following aims: i) propose the reader the technical state of the art playout control management and planning strategies (overview of basic KPIs for IP Telephony); ii) compare the strategies IP Telephony Service Provider can choose with the aim of saving money and offering a better quality of service; iii) introduce also the state of the art quality index for IP Telephony, that is a set of algorithms for taking into account as many factors as possible to evaluate the service quality; iv) provide the reader with examples on some economic scenarios of IP Telephony.

The objective of this study was to evaluate four mathematical models with regards to their fit to lactation curves of Holstein cows from herds raised in the southwestern region of the state of Parana, Brazil. Initially, 42,281 milk production records from 2005 to 2011 were obtained from "Associação Paranaense de Criadores de Bovinos da Raça Holandesa (APCBRH)". Data lacking dates of drying and total milk production at 305 days of lactation were excluded, resulting in a remaining 15,142 records corresponding to 2,441 Holstein cows. Data were sorted according to the parity order (ranging from one to six), and within each parity order the animals were divided into quartiles (Q25%, Q50%, Q75% and Q100%) corresponding to 305-day lactation yield. Within each parity order, for each quartile, four mathematical models were adjusted, two of which were predominantly empirical (Brody and Wood) whereas the other two presented more mechanistic characteristics (models Dijkstra and Pollott). The quality of fit was evaluated by the corrected Akaike information criterion. The Wood model showed the best fit in almost all evaluated situations and, therefore, may be considered as the most suitable model to describe, at least empirically, the lactation curves of Holstein cows raised in Southwestern Parana.

Today, there is such a significant anthropogenic impact on nature all over the world that natural compensatory processes can not to deal with its harmful effects, especially in urban areas. Therefore, it is necessary to solve the current issues of urboecology and urban greening. Lawn is a multifunctional plant formation, an integral elements of urban landscapes, the basis of compositional solutions for urban greening and the main buffer element in the city. The lawn is the most important element of landscaping in any type of greenery, which plays a sanitary role. The analysis of the state of multifunctional lawns in cities and the development its ecological and biological standards for creating stable sward in urban areas is relevant. The authors present the results of the assessment of decorative effect and quality of the structure of lawn coverings for different functional purpose in the city Brovary. We chose on the territory of Brovary different lawns for multifunctional purpose: park “Peremoha”, park named after T.G. Shevchenko, park “Sosnovyi”, cemetery “Stare”, school territory № 9, boulevard “Nezalezhnosti”, stadium “Spartak”, stadium near school № 7, stadium of Brovary Higher School of Physical Culture. Determination of turf grass and weed vegetation we carried out in accordance with the “Determinant of higher plants of Ukraine” (1987). The actual weed-infested determined by the survey method and evaluated in points. For the Latin names of plants, we use The Plant List. The assessment of lawn decorative effect (general decorativeness) carried out with the 5-point scale (Laptev, 1983). We analyzed the quality of the structure of the lawn culture phytocenosis with 6-point scale of Laptev, which consists from the number of units of shoots per area of 100 cm2. Thus, we can group the experimental lawn coverings by qualitative characteristics of the state, where 5 objects from 9 experimental (park “Sosnovyi”, cemetery “Stare”, school territory № 9, boulevard “Nezalezhnosti”, stadium of Brovary Higher School of Physical Culture) evaluated in the lowest indicators and need a complete renovation. On the territory of the cemetery “Stare” lawn we found the largest number of weed species and we noted such species as: Taraxacum officinale (L.) Weber ex FH Wigg., Plantago major L., Galinsoga parviflora Cav., Capsella bursa-pastoris L. Medik., Elytrigia repens L. (Nevski), Poa annua L., Chenopodium album L., Amaranthus retroflexus L., Fallopia convolvulus (L.) Á.Löve. Indicators of the general decorativeness of lawns in the park “Peremoha” and the stadium near the school № 7 were the same, but the results of quality analysis of the structure of lawn indicate low shoot-forming ability of turf grasses, which is essential indicator for sport lawns for formation of a resistant turf to various types of loading. The lawns on the territory of park “Peremoha”, stadium “Spartak” and stadium near school № 7 characterized by good and mediocre quality of sward and require such agronomic operations as aeration, grounding and fertilization. Sport lawns in the city Brovary characterized by high indicators of weed-infested (3 points) that in turn influences both on decorative effect and complex estimation indicators of a lawn covering. It should also be noted that the frequency of fertilization for sports lawns is higher than for other types. The research results show that the lawn on the territory boulevard “Nezalezhnosti” estimated in 3 points by general decorativeness, because the projective cover was mosaic-group (Laptev, 1983) and 2 points – the quality of the structure of the lawn. In our opinion, such low rates are probably caused by anthropogenic load, as the research object located right next to the highway, but studies of this nature need to be continued. According to the results, it is established that the condition of the lawns in Brovary for different functional purpose differs greatly in quality indicators (Laptev, 1983): sports – mediocre condition, decorative – satisfactory (except for the park “Sosnovyi”), special purpose – unsatisfactory condition. The authors propose agro-technical operations to improve the quality and decorative effect of lawns in the city. However, areas of lawn coverings with "bad" grass quality indicators require restoration.
