Implementation Strategy of Project-Based Learning in Mobile Learning Environments and Its Effects
Get PDFWith the rapid development of mobile learning technologies, mobile learning environments have become an integral part of modern education, offering students flexible learning methods and a wealth of educational resources. In this context, project-based learning (PBL), a student-centered instructional model, has garnered significant attention due to its proven effectiveness in enhancing students’ autonomous learning capabilities and problemsolving skills. However, effectively implementing PBL within mobile learning environments still presents numerous challenges. The current study primarily focuses on technical support and infrastructure development and lacks systematic knowledge models, precise knowledge recommendation mechanisms, and effective utilization of expert resources. To address these issues, this study provides new theoretical perspectives and practical approaches in this domain by constructing a knowledge model for PBL within mobile learning environments, designing a knowledge recommendation system, and developing an expert map application. The findings of this study are expected to offer a more targeted and practical strategy for PBL in mobile learning environments, thereby improving educational outcomes
Open-ended Simulation 3D Game as a Tool for Speech Therapy Intervention
Get PDFSpeech and communication disorders are widespread among preschool children. Various studies indicate that approximately 8% of children aged 317 years have some form of communication disorder. This paper presents a three-dimensional serious game, open-ended in nature, intended as a tool for speech therapy intervention to address these disorders. The software is suitable for supporting speech, language, and communication in preschool children and is primarily intended for speech therapists, but also for parents and educators involved in language development programs for children. The game simulates the toys and objects used by speech therapists during sessions with children and creates an engaging virtual environment. By promoting active listening, imitation, prompted speech and spontaneous language production, the game enhances children’s communication skills. The software is compatible with devices running on Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS and is also available as a web application, ensuring maximum accessibility for users
A Sociological Take on Language Generative AI Tools
Get PDFLanguage represents the medium in which human experiences are uniquely encoded by how an individual processes and produces language. The development of generative artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT created a challenge in the context of education due to how humans, being humans, often employ tools in unconventional ways as hallmarks of our creativity and critical thinking. Efforts to resist the incursion of AI into academic work have evidently failed, as observable from how the Russell Group changed its stance from prior bans on AI to the current acceptance of AI to a large degree (4 July 2023). This acceptance created tremors for the longstanding traditions of knowledge acquisition and production, which many academics are paying increasing attention to. In a bid to better understand the impact of such acceptance, the study was carried out to investigate the impact of AI use for sociological work. Employing a pilot study of a pragmatic approach with 20 graduates, it was found that while there was an even distribution of preference between personal writing and AI writing, academic submission preferences scaled towards AI writing. Preference for AI writing for submission was noted to be twice that of personal writing, despite an even distribution of preference. Findings also noted the qualitative differences between personal writing (268 words with 84 unique words) and AI writing (250 with 10 unique words) in word range and unique words. The analysis notes significant differences in word range between personal writing (± 35.93) and AI writing (± 4.28), reflecting a convergence of writing rhetoric that proves to be largely detrimental to sociological developments. The discussion presents considerations in three dimensions: the challenge on education, the challenge on language education, and the challenge on the sociological lens
Application of Mobile Technology in Enterprise Management: From Mobile Office to Intelligent Decision Support
Get PDFWith the rapid advancement of information technology, the application of mobile technology in enterprise management has become increasingly widespread. From mobile office solutions to intelligent decision support systems, the proliferation of mobile technology has not only enhanced operational efficiency but also provided more flexible and convenient management methods. Existing research indicates that the adoption of mobile office solutions enables enterprises to overcome limitations of time and space, improving work efficiency and employee satisfaction. Additionally, the implementation of intelligent decision support systems allows enterprises to make faster and more accurate business decisions. However, current studies often focus on individual mobile technologies or application scenarios, lacking a systematic exploration of mobile office data sharing and intelligent decision-making collaboration. Moreover, most research overlooks privacy protection issues in the enterprise management decision-making process. To address these gaps, this paper proposes a scheme for mobile office data sharing and intelligent decision-making collaboration and examines the integration of privacy protection in the decision-making process. The findings not only enrich the theoretical framework of management studies but also provide enterprises with a systematic and practical solution for mobile technology applications, enhancing management efficiency and intelligence while effectively safeguarding data privacy and security
Privacy Protection in Mobile Big Data: Challenges and Solutions
Get PDFThe pervasive use of mobile big data has profoundly altered daily life, providing unprecedented convenience and efficiency. However, with the proliferation of mobile devices and the explosive growth of data volume, the issue of user privacy protection has become increasingly severe. Location information and semantic information, as the two core components of mobile big data, can directly reflect users’ behavioral trajectories and thought dynamics, underscoring the importance of privacy protection. Although existing technologies can protect user data to a certain extent, traditional methods struggle to address increasingly sophisticated attack techniques in the face of evolving privacy threats. A comprehensive privacy protection scheme for mobile big data was proposed in this study, with a focus on two main areas: the privacy protection of location-based and semantic-based mobile big data. For location information protection, an uncertain graph model was employed to effectively resist combined attacks by jointly protecting the user layer and the location layer. For semantic information protection, a hypergraph clustering method was used to structurally protect the user layer and the semantic layer, enhancing the privacy security of semantic information. This study not only addresses existing gaps but also provides new solutions for mobile big data privacy protection, offering significant theoretical and practical value

Advancements in Breast Cancer Detection through Broadband Microstrip Antenna Technology
Get PDFIn this paper, a novel method for detecting breast cancer utilizing an ultra-wideband (UWB) microstrip patch antenna operating in the UWB frequency range is presented. The promise of non-invasive, radiation-free breast cancer screening is provided by UWB technology. We give a brief overview of the difficulties in detecting breast cancer as well as the benefits of UWB technology in medical applications in this study. This study presents a compact printed microstrip patch antenna used for the bio-medical application at industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) and UWB frequencies. The proposed antenna consists of a hexagonal-shaped microstrip patch antenna with a slotted ground antenna used for high bandwidth for a wider range of applications. The compact biomedical antenna is printed on Roger 5880 substrate with an overall dimension of 25*25 mm. Due to the high demand for results accuracy, Roger 5880 substrate material is used because it has good dielectric characteristics and loss factors that are appropriate for medical and radio frequency (RF) applications. A 50-ohm impedance line is used to feed the antenna. The proposed antenna has a higher bandwidth of almost 12.5 GHz at such a low frequency, starting from 3.53 to 16 GHz. The antenna has an acceptable gain of 3.38 Db, which is enough for the required application. The UWB microstrip patch antenna has the potential to improve breast cancer detection accuracy and reliability, which would aid in early diagnosis and better cancer patient treatment. This work represents a major advancement in the development of non-invasive, low-cost breast imaging methods for early cancer diagnosis
