Conversion Tools

Mobile application development and use has exploded since the release of Google's Android operating system. The conversion tool is an application that offers a wide range of free conversion utilities such as length converters, area converters, encryption & decryption, password generators and many other tools. The target audience for this application is students.

Mapping of the descriptive logic into RDF using binary relational data model

This paper is dedicated to the data integration problem. To establish relationships between data models is one of the key tasks in this solution. The descriptive logic and the relational data model are at the heart of a study. They have been used to create a mapping method on the theoretical level. The binary relational data model has been developed as a part of a mapping method. The previous studies are continued in this paper to prove on practice a mapping creation method between the descriptive logic and the binary relational data model. The method uses the binary relational data model as an integrating model. This paper continues the previous research of practical implementation of the mapping creation between the descriptive logic and the binary relational data model. The task to prove the theoretical mapping method on practice was formulated. A question how to map the binary relational data model into RDF-triples was considered. A brief overview of the R2R ML conversion tool was given. Triple maps were created to convert a conceptual information model of descriptive logic into RDF triplets with the help of R2R ML. Also, triples maps are described to convert basic mapping mechanisms into RDF with the help of R2R ML.

TBLA Mastery of Mathematical Concepts Through TPS (Think Pair Share) Learning Model Aided by Conversion Tool Games

The level of understanding of mathematical concepts is still low due to the lack of application of learning models and media that can improve students' mastery of concepts. The purpose of this study was to reveal the construction pattern of mastery of mathematical concepts through the TPS learning model assisted by conversion tool games using Transcript Based Learning Analysis (TBLA). This study involved 28 students of grade 5. In this study, it was divided into 2 cycles, namely cycle 1 focused on the unit length conversion material while the cycle concentrated on the material addition and subtraction of length unit conversion. Activities in each cycle will be recorded via video or audio, then the recording will be used as a transcript of the learning dialogue then analyzed with the type of communication reson. In addition to transcript analysis in the last activity students are given a written exam through LKS (Student Work Sheet). This study obtained the results that in the first cycle the class average value reached 75.36, the second cycle the average value reached 78.93, and the graduation percentage value reached 82%. So it can be concluded that this research is related to the mastery of the concept of addition and reduction in the conversion of units of length which is successful

Click to Buy: The Impact of Retail Credit on Over-Consumption in the Online Environment

There is growing concern that worldwide cultures of consumption have had detrimental consequences for individual wellbeing and sustainability of the environment. The term “overconsumption” exemplifies the tension between mutually beneficial producer–consumer exchange and the damaging effects of excess. In search of a pathway toward reducing overconsumption practise, sustainability literature is often interested in better understanding not only why overconsumption occurs, but what facilitates it in particular consumer markets. Young adults are one group of consumers where transitioning identities and lifestyles see impulsive consumption of goods that are often termed “non-essential”, such as fashion and apparel products. This study explores the impact of a set of impulse enabling financial tools (buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) credit schemes) on impulse buying tendency in an online fashion shopping context, for young adult female consumers. The paper contributes a consumer perspective on the impact of BNPL on unsustainable consumption behaviour in the online retail setting, which the literature currently lacks, by considering consumers’ impulse buying tendencies in such a setting. Findings demonstrate that BNPL users have a higher online impulse buying tendency than those who do not use BNPL, and a clear link is identified between online impulse buying tendency and sales conversion tool sensitivity, thus promoting overconsumption in this setting.

GEN2VCF: a converter for human genome imputation output format to VCF format

Background For a genome-wide association study in humans, genotype imputation is an essential analysis tool for improving association mapping power. When IMPUTE software is used for imputation analysis, an imputation output (GEN format) should be converted to variant call format (VCF) with imputed genotype dosage for association analysis. However, the conversion requires multiple software packages in a pipeline with a large amount of processing time. Objective We developed GEN2VCF, a fast and convenient GEN format to VCF conversion tool with dosage support. Methods The performance of GEN2VCF was compared to BCFtools, QCTOOL, and Oncofunco. The test data set was a 1 Mb GEN-formatted file of 5000 samples. To determine the performance of various sample sizes, tests were performed from 1000 to 5000 samples with a step size of 1000. Runtime and memory usage were used as performance measures. Results GEN2VCF showed drastically increased performances with respect to runtime and memory usage. Runtime and memory usage of GEN2VCF was at least 1.4- and 7.4-fold lower compared to other methods, respectively. Conclusions GEN2VCF provides users with efficient conversion from GEN format to VCF with the best-guessed genotype, genotype posterior probabilities, and genotype dosage, as well as great flexibility in implementation with other software packages in a pipeline.
