At present, university campuses integrate technologies such as the internet of things, cloud computing, and big data, among others, which provide support to the campus to improve their resource management processes and learning models. Integrating these technologies into a centralized environment allows for the creation of a controlled environment and, subsequently, an intelligent environment. These environments are ideal for generating new management methods that can solve problems of global interest, such as resource consumption. The integration of new technologies also allows for the focusing of its efforts on improving the quality of life of its inhabitants. However, the comfort and benefits of technology must be developed in a sustainable environment where there is harmony between people and nature. For this, it is necessary to improve the energy consumption of the smart campus, which is possible by constantly monitoring and analyzing the data to detect any anomaly in the system. This work integrates a big data framework capable of analyzing the data, regardless of its format, providing effective and efficient responses to each process. The method developed is generic, which allows for its application to be adequate in addressing the needs of any smart campus.

The purpose of this article is to describe and analyse the different strategies applied in the framework of the design and management of the Master’s Degree in Cultural Studies and Visual Arts (feminist and queer perspectives), MUECA, an official master’s research degree taught on line and semi-presentially at Miguel Hernández University. For this reason, and to understand how this defines its teaching model and its inverted curriculum, we analyse not only the status quo the curriculum of MUECA and its teaching or its human and material resources (people and machines), but the personal and situated experiences that serve to announce and analyse the initial motivations that have originated a set of decisions regarding its implementation and development. The materials that generate estrangement, contact and queer pedagogies, situated epistemologies, affect networks, counter-productivity (quality versus quantity), from feminist and queer perspectives, have determined in addition to the contents, other forms of doing academic work and research within the strategies marked by the norms (educational legislation and regulations). MUECA enables an innovative teaching-learning experience in its specific framework, which has great potential for intervention in the social field and for widening the margins of action.

Nowadays, the world has known great changes which accelerated the mode of life. Students, on their part have become to expect a stimulating and simple learning experience which takes into consideration this quick pace and helps them solve the stereotypical problems of learning. The analyses conducted in this paper revealed that the recording of attendance in classrooms is done at the expense of the teaching- learning time. Therefore, the article at hand seeks to investigate an effective means to record attendance in a way which doesn’t hinder learning. Differently put, the educational and administrative staffs need to find an effective way to record students’ attendance at presential at the beginning of each learning session without affecting the time allotted to teaching and learning. This article presents and discusses the smart attendance monitoring system in smart classroom as a means to reduce the dropout rate, using connected objects and RFID technology. This system can facilitate the recording of students’ attendance via the Internet of things (IoT) at presential while transmitting attendance record to the administration. At the same time, parents can keep track of their children's attendance to classes through a notification they receive via Email or SMS. In addition, the system automatically sends missed lessons to absent students.

Structural Hypothesis

It has been argued in the literature on (language) testing that any act of testing/assessment can impact (a) educators’ curriculum design, (b) teachers’ teaching practices, and (c) students’ learning behaviors. This quality of any given testing situation or act of assessment has been called washback, or backwash if you will. Washback falls into the two categories of positive or negative—that is, beneficial or harmful. After an overview of the existing scholarly knowledge on washback, this paper argues that washback is not necessarily a test quality. Drawing on the notion of test method facets, the paper lends support to claims that see washback as a main function of teaching, learning, and policy-making situations or conditions rather than a quality of any given test. The paper also argues that the concepts of facet design and analysis including formal research designs, structural hypothesis testing, and measurement are inevitable and inescapable in any comprehensive model of washback. A possible borderline between backwash and washback is also proposed.

Water quality index (IKA) is one tool to quickly predict the environmental quality status of an ecosystem or region to obtaining an alternative of the future management. Toanalyze the status of these indices utilize only data of environmental parameters that have been established as a key parameter determining the IKA. From the analysis of the mining area of PT KPC IKA with key parameters TDS, DO, COD, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus. (P) derived from the water quality of agricultural ecosystems, industry / mines and residential showed an index value of less well with thecategory (54.6163) on the interval 40 ≤ IKA <60. The low index value is proportional to the low value of ecosystem quality index industry / mining IKA (I) with a value of 45.82with categories of less well on the interval 40 ≤ IKA <60. Consider, that the index value of ecosystem quality residential IKA (H) and agricultural ecosystem quality index IKA (P) with good and excellent categories, then the ecosystem of industry / mining is the focus that needs to be considered for improved management efforts.

Forms Of Knowledge

Educational strategies are designed to cope with and fulfill the multifarious pedagogical and educational needs of teachers and learners. Moreover, no educational plan can possibly yield the required results without incorporating suitable instructive strategies. This research paper advocates the role and importance of schemas in learning new forms of knowledge and data in the perspective of class room teaching-learning. Cognitive approach is adopted to understand how students learn new forms of knowledge and experiences through different mental processes, quite unlike that of behaviorism. The concept of schema helps us understand how learners can link new pieces of information to the already existing knowledge in their minds. The notion of ‘Constructivist Approach’ has been extracted from the field of educational psychology for triangulation. Extracts are taken from the textbooks of English used in matriculation and intermediate through purposive sampling. Their analysis shows that schemas can play a vital role in enhancing the learning experience and making new forms of knowledge a permanent part of the memory of students which is the ultimate goal of education.
