3dinfogan: 3d Models’ Reconstruction In Infogans

In computer vision and computer graphics, 3D reconstruction is the process of capturing real objects’ shapes and appearances. 3D models always can be constructed by active methods which use high-quality scanner equipment, or passive methods that learn from the dataset. However, both of these two methods only aimed to construct the 3D models, without showing what element affects the generation of 3D models. Therefore, the goal of this research is to apply deep learning to automatically generating 3D models, and finding the latent variables which affect the reconstructing process. The existing research GANs can be trained in little data with two networks called Generator and Discriminator, respectively. Generator can produce synthetic data, and Discriminator can discriminate between the generator’s output and real data. The existing research shows that InFoGAN can maximize the mutual information between latent variables and observation. In our approach, we will generate the 3D models based on InFoGAN and design two constraints, shape-constraint and parameters-constraint, respectively. Shape-constraint utilizes the data augmentation method to limit the synthetic data generated in the models’ profiles. At the same time, we also try to employ parameters-constraint to find the 3D models’ relationship corresponding to the latent variables. Furthermore, our approach will be a challenge in the architecture of generating 3D models built on InFoGAN. Finally, in the process of generation, we might discover the contribution of the latent variables influencing the 3D models to the whole network.

STROKE REHABILITATION EXERCISE KINECT GAME AS A MODALITY FOR HOME-BASED THERAPY

Traditional rehabilitation is a tedious process which is reducing the patients' motivation to perform rehabilitation exercises. Therefore, patients need a program that can entice them to do rehabilitation exercises at home. This research aims to identify the game's needs based on the traditional rehabilitation, design a prototype of a recovery game based on traditional rehabilitation, and test the effectiveness of the rehabilitation game. There are two different game types in this rehabilitation game, with three different movement types used to interact. The prototype developed based on four elements, which are the elements of rehabilitation game, type of movement rehabilitation exercises, technology constraints faced by post-stroke patients, and the basic principle of interface design. Because of patients face physical constraints, Kinect was used in this game to interact with. Using Kinect, the patient is not bound to any device to interact with the game. The game also introduces a social background that encourages patients to have a friend to play either through competition or cooperation.By evaluating by observation and interviews, the game was accepted by post-stroke patients and their family members. They also provide a suggestion for improvement in the future. The contribution of this research is to measure whether the Kinect game console and this game can help patients do additional recovery exercises at home without the supervision of the therapist

More refinement and update are needed on flow, media and design of Augmented Reality application. There is also essential to study the influence of marker size or surface material.

The Influence of Technostress Factors on Information System Success

Information systems (IS) are one of the factors that catalyze the success of an organization. Apart from assisting in the delivery process, the system can also affect the nature of its users which in turn will also affect the level of delivery of the organization. Mathematical Communication Theory has stated that in the process of conveying information, there are disturbances that will disrupt the communication process and one of them is psychological disorders. Psychological disorders related to technology, ie technostress are seen as very synonymous and can affect the user’s behavior of the systems. Indirectly, it can also affect the level of productivity and quality of delivery of an organization. Ironically, studies looking at this issue are missing, hence the motivation of this paper to propose technostress factors and investigate its relationship in information system success. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to study the effect of technostress factors and its impact on the system success. This study was conducted using a quantitative approach where questionnaires are used as a medium for data collection. The results of this study prove that the dimension of psychological influence (technostress) introduced as a new dimension has had a significant impact on the information systems success. The most important contribution of this study is the combination of two fields of study, namely the field of information system and the field of psychology in producing a model of information system success that is able to measure the success of an information system more comprehensively.

Interrelated Decision-Making Model for Diabetes

Diabetes is one of the growing chronic diseases. Proper treatment is needed to produce its effects. Past studies have proposed an Interrelated Decision-making Model (IDM) as an intelligent decision support system (IDSS) solution for healthcare. This model can provide accurate results in determining the treatment of a particular patient. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop a diabetic IDM to see the increased decision-making accuracy with the IDM concept. The IDM concept allows the amount of data to increase with the addition of data records at the same level of care, and the addition of data records and attributes from the previous or subsequent levels of care. The more data or information, the more accurate a decision can be made. Data were developed to make diagnostic predictions for each stage of care in the development of type 2 diabetes. The development of data for each stage of care was confirmed by specialists. However, the experiments were performed using simulation data for two stages of care only. Four data sets of different sizes were provided to view changes in forecast accuracy. Each data set contained 2 data sets of primary care level and secondary care level with 4 times the change of the number of attributes from 25 to 58 and the number of records from 300 to 11,000. Data were developed to predict the level of diabetes confirmed by specialist doctors. The experimental results showed that on average, the J48 algorithm showed the best model (99%) followed by Logistics (98%), RandomTree (95%), NaiveBayes Updateable (93%), BayesNet (84%) and AdaBoostM1 (67%). Ratio analysis also showed that the accuracy of the forecast model has increased up to 49%. The MAPKB model for the care of diabetes is designed with data change criteria dynamically and is able to develop the latest dynamic prediction models effectively.v

Learning Through Whatsapp During The Covid-19 Pandemic: A Case Study

The COVID-19 pandemic forced lockdowns that severely affected the educational sector. The necessary shift to online learning was hindered in countries that lack communication technologies. In addition, the inadequate media and information literacy among educators and students alike exposed deficiencies in disaster preparedness. This resulted in the use of commonly used applications, such as WhatsApp, as a learning platform. We hereby present the learning experience of a mathematics class of the 10th grade through WhatsApp in a Lebanese public school. After analysis, we assess the initiative using the Rubric for eLearning Tool Evaluation. Although WhatsApp, as a learning tool, was functional, accessible, and technically effective, it hindered the learning experience with the lack of social, teaching, and cognitive presence. We offer our insights and recommendations on improving the learning and communication experience as we continue to navigate the current and any future pandemic.
