Development of Cognitive Instruments in Epidemiology Using Asyncronous MethodsAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT :The purpose of this research is to find out the development of cognitive instruments for
community empowerment in the field of epidemiology using the asynchronous method. This research method
uses a quantitative descriptive method. The results of the study found that learning using asynchronous elearning was inappropriate for students with low cognitive levels. So that before learning, a pre-test was carried
out, from the results of filling in the items it could be seen that the cognitive level of students was high, low or
medium. For high cognitive levels, it can still be given. But for moderate or low cognitive levels, it is necessary
to do a good learning design, so that these students can follow well the entire learning process. Conclusion of
this study From the results of several research results, it can be concluded that learning using asynchronous e
learning is less effective, especially students' low cognitive levels. Requires psychological support from the
environment. because there is no direct interaction, so that between students do not know each other. especially
the support from the tutor/teacher. Students learn according to their respective work settings, so that they learn
independently. It is necessary to do a mature design before the learning begins. So that learning can have a good
impact, namely being able to improve the performance of the learner.

USE OF SOCRATIVE AS A TEACHING TOOL IN ANATOMY DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMICIJITE
On March 13th, 2020, in the middle of Semester 2, University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona announced
the suspension of classes for one month due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Within days most of the first- and
second-year medical students were back in their homes around the Caribbean. Resumption of online
teaching was scheduled for April 14th, 2020. This lecturer had been using a free online student response
system (SRS) called Socrative to set quizzes for his small Lab tutorial group since 2016 and decided to
upgrade to Socrative Pro which had multiple classrooms to set teaching quizzes for first- and second-year
medical students. At the end of the semester (2020.S2) a survey was done of 86 second-year medical
students. The overwhelmingly positive response of these students to these quizzes led to improvements and
continuation of these quizzes.
Physical activity prediction using fitness data: Challenges and issuesjournalBEEI
In the new healthcare transformations, individuals are encourage to maintain healthy life based on their food diet and physical activity routine to avoid risk of serious disease. One of the recent healthcare technologies to support self health monitoring is wearable device that allow individual play active role on their own healthcare. However, there is still questions in terms of the accuracy of wearable data for recommending physical activity due to enormous fitness data generated by wearable devices. In this study, we conducted a literature review on machine learning techniques to predict suitable physical activities based on personal context and fitness data. We categorize and structure the research evidence that has been publish in the area of machine learning techniques for predicting physical activities using fitness data. We found 10 different models in behavior change technique (BCT) and we selected two suitable models which are fogg behavior model (FBM) and trans-theoretical behavior model (TTM) for predicting physical activity using fitness data. We proposed a conceptual framework which consists of personal fitness data, combination of TTM and FBM to predict the suitable physical activity based on personal context. This study will provide new insights in software development of healthcare technologies to support personalization of individuals in managing their own health.

One of the shortcomings of many user interviews is the vast gulf between what people think they do versus what they actually do, not to mention what they may have forgotten having done. Fortunately, new research tools are filling that gap by allowing users to quickly provide feedback from their phone right after they use a product, allowing for the capturing of rich, emotional details. These tools are breathing new life into a traditional research tool, the diary study.
This talk share the best practices I’ve developed for designing a digital diary study that collects relevant and insightful data. It will be framed by examples from a recent diary study exploring how people use their fitness trackers (Fitbit, Jawbone Up, etc). Attendees will come away with not only an understanding of how much rich data can be collected this way, but with the basic knowledge needed to execute their own digital diary studies.
The Cold Start Problem and Per-Group Personalization in Real-Life Emotion Rec...Maciej Behnke
Emotion recognition in real life from physiological signals provided by wrist worn devices still remains a great challenge especially due to difficulties with gathering annotated emotional events. For that purpose, we suggest building pretrained machine learning models capable of detecting intense emotional states. This work aims to explore the cold start problem, where no data from the target subjects (users) are available at the beginning of the experiment to train the reasoning model. To address this issue, we investigate the potential of pergroup personalization and the amount of data needed to perform it. Our results on real-life data indicate that even a week’s worth of personalized data improves the model performance.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Good afternoon, everyone. I am Ida, coming from Institute of Education of NCKU in Taiwan. I am so glad to have this opportunity to represent our team reporting project results. The topic of this study is “ An application of cloud physical activity promotion system on high school female students’ physical activity”
This is the outline for today’s presentation. Introduction, method, findings and discussion. Let’s move to the 1 st part, introduction.
This change could cause various health problems and civilization diseases, including physical and psychological development of children and adolescents
However, according to the national survey data, there was a main problem occurred in physical activity of school students at all levels;
This figure showed proportion of meeting PA standards for all levels of students from 2007 to 2010. First, we can see the adolescents(senior high and college students) got the lowest proportion of meeting the sufficient physical activity standards And, there was a highest decline from 2009 to 2010.
Next, this figure showed the proportion of meeting PA standards for all levels of male and female students from 2007 to 2010. The female students got the lowest proportion of meeting the sufficient physical activity standards every year, and also a highest decline from 2009 to 2010. So, how can we solve this problem?
The characteristics of CPAPS are the wearable inertial signal sensors that can record users’ biophysical signals. The most common product of inertia signal is pedometer,
and through uploading the signals via the application of the system, the cloud system analyzed and displayed the date and charts as the feedback to the users. Some studies also suggest that wearing such product of inertia signal could motivate users to produce physical activity.
We adopted the newest MPAT standards of Taiwan: accumulation of 210 minutes of moderate physical activity per week, and recommendation of moderate activity time accumulated more than 30 minutes per day
Next, the following slides will introduce the method parts. A pre- and post-test quasi-experimental design was used for this study. This figure shows the research structure. Only one IV with 2 levels: use CPAPS or not. One class was designed to serve as a comparison group (C), and the other class served as the experimental groups (E). The DV is MPAT, which measured by self-reported 3 day physical activity log. There were two classes of 10 th -grade female students (n = 62), from a senior high girls school by Purposive Sampling.
This table shows the research procedures. The duration of the experiment was 14 weeks. In W1, two research groups will take the same pretests, including Demographics survey and IPAQ, to make sure the baseline of the two research groups that showed no differences. Afterwards, they took the same tests as posttests in W14. Then, from Ws 2 to 13, for C group, students only needed to write 3-D PAL every week. However, the E group not only wrote the same log but also used the CPAPS.
This CPAPS included one sensor and one website which provides biophysical signals and analysis for users.
This is an example of the Personal Health Data User Interface on the Website. This chart can quickly show the calories and steps every hour a day. The data in the table includes your … everyday. A doctor image will sum up your daily PA and give users feedback.
The latest part is findings and discussion. First, the baseline of these 2 research groups was the same.
Next, from the 3-D PAL every week, we drew a trend of MPAT. First, we found that the trend of the C group echoed the school schedule; students spent less time on moderate physical activity when preparing the midterm exams in weeks 4 and 10. Although the time increased after midterm exam weeks, it declined again a few weeks later. This kind of loop seemed totally match the lifestyle of senior high school student; students have academic pressure, they prefer studying instead of doing physical activity. The E group met the PA standards from Ws 2 to 7. However, the trend of the E group declined from W 8 and became unstable afterwards. The researchers and class instructor assumed that the reason might be students’ loss of interests and boing feeling in later period, even several students seemed to withdraw from the study. In other words, despite the CPAPS had practical and ease-of-use characteristics, if there was no intervention of behavioral change strategies involved, the CPAPS only helped maintain students' motivation for a short time.
This study gave us very important lessons and reflections due to the downward trend of the experimental group. These suggestions also for future studies.
