Data Analytics Development from Military Operational Data

Each year, the National Training Center (NTC) located at Fort Irwin, California, hosts multiple Brigade-level rotational units to conduct training exercises. NTC’s Instrumentation Systems (NTC-IS) digitally capture and store characteristics of movement and maneuver, use of fires, and other tactical operations in a vast database. The Army’s Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) recently partnered with Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) to make some of the data available for introductory analysis within a relational database. While this data has the potential to expose capability gaps, uncover the truth behind doctrinal assumptions, and create a sophisticated feedback platform for Army leaders at all levels, it is largely unexplored and underutilized. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the value of this data by developing a prototype information system that supports post-rotation analytics, playback capabilities, and repeatable workflows that measure and expose ground-truth operational and logistical behavior and performance during a rotation. The Army modeling and analysis community will use these products to systematically curate and archive the database and enable future analysis of the NTC-IS data.

The objectives of this research were: 1) to study the management of coastal aquaculture at the Coastal Aquaculture Research and Development Center, Region 3, Surat Thani Province; 2) study problems and obstacles in aquaculture management. 3) Guidelines for the development of aquaculture management. This research used both qualitative and quantitative methods simultaneously. The sample consisted of 60 people, and a categorical randomisation method was used. The qualitative method used a focus group and selected five key informants specifically. The research instruments used include questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The Quantitative data analysis used statistics such as; mean, percentage and standard deviation. The results showed that the overall opinion on the management of coastal aquaculture Research and Development Center, Region 3 (Surat Thani) was at a high level with a mean of 4.03. The qualitative research method used in-depth interviews with the sample groups; it was found that coastal aquaculture management can be of two types: 1) The government sector co-ordinates with some agencies and organizations to seek the people’s opinions in unity, which shows a direct collaboration with the government, hence opening room for mutual understanding. Both in terms of giving information, problem-solving, expression of opinion, and joint decision.

Design of a parklet for the handcraft artisians comunity development

The artisan is a representative of Mexican culture, his techniques for making handicrafts passed down from generation to generation and their craftsmanship tells the story of his past. Over the years, they have become a vulnerable group, since their only livelihood is the creation of handicrafts, in many cases devalued. This project is focused on a specific artisan community that is concentrated in the Indigenous Craft Development Center (in its Spanish acronym, CEDAI) located in the city of Querétaro, Mexico whose intervention is pertinent since, despite being a fixed point of sale, the influx of this space is low, indicative of reduced sales. The objective of this work is the design of a parklet outside of the CEDAI making use of social methodologies to provoke a greater influx of people. Constructivism and phenomenology being the pillars of the project, and the Design thinking as the development guide which suggests the steps to carry out the product design. This work is an example of how the use of social methodologies in conjunction with design methodologies are the guide for the construction of urban elements that are sustainable.

Place of Geography in School Level Curriculum

This paper examines the place of geography in the school- level curriculum in Nepal. The rearm curriculum defines as the totality of student experiences that occur in the educational process. Specifically, it is referred to a planned sequence of instruction, or a view of the student'; experiences in terms of the educator; or school's; instructional goals. After the establishment of Durbar High School in Nepal in 1910 and the School Leaving Certificate Board in 1990, the subject of Geography was formally introduced. This subject had recognized as a compulsory subject at the school level curriculum before the NESP. After the NESP (1971), the issue had allocated 50 marks, becoming has becomes an optional subject since 1982. Geographic concepts have been taught after the introduction of the social studies curriculum at the secondary level since 1992.At present, geography is teaching in Nepal as an elective subject from secondary level to higher education. However, this subject seems less of a priority for students than mathematics, computer, and account. For this purpose, data collected from the review of the report published from the Education Commissions, Curriculum Development Center, the records of the National Examination Board, e-resources, and other concerned bodies. This paper concludes that geography subject at the school level is in a crisis. However, with the inclusion of geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial planning in the curriculum from the school level, the future of this subject looks bright.

The RP3 Program to Promote Language for Early Childhood

Thailand had Family Development Center (FDC) Staff for family promotion and development to strengthen warm relations and social immunization of family members in the community. The RP3 program has been created to enhance the language development skills of people working with small children. This paper examines the effectiveness of the RP3 Program on improving FDC staff skills in early childhood language development in rural Thai communities. A quasi-experimental design was used with 40 FDC staff in each group. The intervention group received the RP3 Program. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using paired t-test and independent t-test. The results revealed that the intervention group had significantly higher mean scores in self-efficacy after attending the program than before, and also significantly higher than the comparison group (p<0.001). This shows that FDC staff may be able to upgrade and change attitudes through intervention programs and have more belief in their ability to guide their parents. This study may be valuable for local authorities and relevant sectors as a guideline for FDC staff by considering the context of the organization and the community.

Malaria is still a health problem in Indonesia, particularly in Eastern part of Indonesia. The use of LLIN insecticide bed nets is one of the efforts to reduce the malaria morbidity rate by protecting human from malaria vector bites. The Anopheles flavirostris, Anopheles barbirostris, and Anopheles subpictus mosquitoes are three of the species reported as malaria vectors in West-Southeast Maluku Regency. The aim of this research was to detect the kdr gene in An. flavirostris, An. barbirostris, and An.subpictus mosquitoes collected from Alusi Kelaan village, West-Southeast Maluku Regency. The research was conducted at the Papua Biomedical Research and Development Center, in June 2016. A total of six An. flavirostris, 42 An. barbirostris, and 24 An. subpictus were pooled separately for genomic DNA extraction. The sample used was the An. flavirostris, An. barbirostris, and An. subpictus that survived after the impregnated paper test. The kdr gene detection was carried out using quantitative PCR (qPCR) focused on points V1010 and L1014. The results showed that there were no kdr mutant strains in the An. flavirostris, An. barbirostris, and An. subpictus. These results indicated that the sensitivity of pyrethroid insecticides contained in LLIN mosquito nets to An. flavirostris, An. barbirostris, and An. subpictus mosquitoes was not decreased in West Southeast Maluku Regency.
