Students’ Perception of the Effectiveness of Technology Assisted Online Education During COVID-19 Pandemic: An Empirical Study
No full textPurpose: The whole calendar year 2020, as well as early indications, suggest, the year 2021, would be challenging for the global community. The COVID-19 pandemics spread through the world, affecting all facets of human endeavor, from industrial development to academic calendar re-adjustments at all educational institutions around the world. Stakeholders and administrators of academic institutions have no choice but to use internet technology, and therefore online learning, to continue academic activities in all institutions around the world. This paper aims to determine if students in higher educational institutions are happy with technology-assisted Online Education during COVID-19 Pandemic. The study used an online survey to find out how students are coping with online education, which has been around for years but is still not widely used, and how happy they are with it.
Methodology: Convenience sampling was employed to collect data for the analysis because it is a non-probability sampling methodology. The aim of using this method is to come up with hypotheses and conduct exploratory research on the topic. It also addresses budget and time constraints. As participants in this research, students from higher education institutions responded to the survey. Higher education students are preferred because they have already been exposed to technology, online platforms, and the ability to adapt, which is the essence of remote learning.
Findings/Result: The study's findings show that adding online education was a good decision since the majority of students surveyed supported it in this epidemic since it allowed them to complete their studies. In terms of satisfaction with online education, the study discovered that there is a gender divide. Students are self-sufficient in terms of the devices they use to take online classes, with a large percentage of students attending online classes using their smartphones. Synchronous delivery options, such as live classes, are not preferred by online educators. Female students spend more time on online education activities than male students. Finally, the study discovered that the most significant barrier to students participating in online education is a lack of internet connectivity in both rural and suburban settings.
Originality: This study examines how satisfied students are with technology-assisted online education at higher education institutions. The results of this study would be very useful to the administrators of higher education institutions in making potential emergency decisions about the planning of online learning services for students from various backgrounds.

Compliance Status of Building Bylaws and Codes in High-rise Apartment Buildings of Nepal
No full textPurpose: The implementation and compliance of building bylaws and building codes in apartment buildings in Nepal are always questionable. Thus, the overall objective of the study was to assess the building bylaws and building code compliance in apartment buildings.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Data were collected by field observation of selected thirteen apartments and questionnaire survey after extensive literature review. It is analyzed based on the standard of codes and bylaws and effect during the earthquake and presented using charts, tables, and graphs.
Findings/Result: Though the provisions of bylaws i.e., greenery open space have not complied in four apartments and setback criteria have not complied in two apartments, all other provisions of bylaws have fully complied with in all thirteen apartments selected for the study. Likewise, most of the provisions of the Nepal National Building Code have fully complied in all thirteen apartments selected for the study. However, the RCC bands in masonry infill walls were not provided in all the thirteen selected apartments. The study revealed that the structural members in most of the apartments during the Gorkha earthquake 2015 were damaged minor to moderate only. But the nonstructural infill walls in most of the apartments were damaged moderately to severely. The main reason for severe to moderate damage on nonstructural infill walls of apartments was due to the RCC bands and vertical reinforcement not provided in the nonstructural walls. So, the RCC bands shall be provided in masonry infill walls and also the nonstructural masonry infill walls should be replaced in apartment buildings with lightweight, prefabricated materials to avoid damage in masonry infill walls. Similarly, the designer and developer himself should be made fully responsible and accountable for full compliance of building code and building Bylaws. Rewards and punishment systems should be introduced with the level of compliance with the provisions of codes and bylaws. Thus, the study revealed that the apartment building construction is a formal housing process regulated by the government of Nepal in the overall process of approval, supervision, and monitoring. The High-rise apartment buildings in Kathmandu valley are safe enough from earthquake, fire, and other natural disasters since the compliance with building codes and bylaws is satisfactory. Also, there is no option to go for High-rise Apartment buildings in the cities like Kathmandu where the land is very limited.
Originality/Value: It is empirical research to signify the compliance and contribution of building codes and bylaws

A Framework of Web Mining Algorithm-Based Hidden Pattern in India E-Government Application Using Blockchain Technology
No full textPurpose: The Indian Government should be analyzing these problems and organized a special team who has responsibility for all inquiry and reduced these types of problem and India’s Government should be informed about new health projects to people by public relations or advertising. Now, with the advent of data analysis techniques and tools, this process of finding patterns in the behavior of applications can be taken to a next higher level. The methods and algorithms used exclusively in data mining for medical purposes are known as Medical Data Mining. Many studies in the fields of e-government implementation in developed countries are available, but there are not many studies available in India. There is no underlying explanation why considerations apply to the electronic government's introduction, which contributes to a hole in the written audit. The knowledge is hidden among government data set and it is extractable through data mining techniques. The relevant and unchanging design of blockchain technologies could be used to accelerate constant progress to open and distributed energy frameworks and to tackle some problems facing the company.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Design & Implementing the theoretical concept of blockchain is an increasing technology which is seen by many inhabitants as a fundamental weakness because of the general obscurity of the complexities and chances of its execution.
Findings/Result: Although the study being conducted on the thorough analysis of e-government results, various questions relating to data collection and methodologies for analyzing these data are yet to be addressed by the potential researchers.
Originality/Value: Huge data analysis will open up options for developing market intelligence to increase the usage and personalization of e-governments.

Demonstration of Drawing by Robotic Arm using RoboDK and C#
No full textPurpose: Robots are transforming the world, and soon they will take part or assist in our all-daily life activities. There are several fields where robots are already doing well, like Surgery, painting, industrial automation, autonomous navigation, engraving, 3D printing, and many more. The robot is nothing but consists of some mechanical movement driven by functions and algorithms. To get the perfect result, the algorithm working behind the scene also needs to be perfect. In all the above fields, need to reach the end effector at the exact position. That is why we need serious research on it. Otherwise, it will remain a plaything, cannot be engaged in an important role. Before implementing it into an actual application, we need to test in a simulated environment, especially when writing new methods. The simulation environment is the safest place where anything that goes wrong cannot damage a physical entity. So, the robot researcher prefers the simulator. The RoboDK is one of the famous robot simulators. Its interface is excellent and easy to test any commercial robot inside the IDE. In our research will see how to keep marking the end-effector position using the graphical method. When our end-effector moves, it holds a footprint to inspect later. This one is a minimalistic approach. Through the simplified drawing method, we can observe arm movement. This demonstration will use an optimized version of C# API, which RoboDK provides.
Design/Methodology/Approach: In RoboDK IDE, we can create a new station or import existing built-in available stations. Our application drives the simulator robot. It is developed in C# language using Microsoft visual studio 2019 community edition. Both applications communicate through socket communication. Pressing the mouse's left click, when we move the mouse, it calculates the mouse pointer position and maps the value based on the robot drawing area. Then the values are sent to the simulated robot. Fetching the value, RoboDK moves into the desired position.
Findings/result: Using our research works, the researcher can get some references to enhance their research work. We keep our code as simple as possible to be understood quickly and easily integrate into their research work.
Originality/Value: We search the research work on RoboDK and C# language. Most of the documents are available in the python language, even in little bit documents present in the RoboDK example collection. So, we decided to migrate from python to our native language, C#. That is why this research work. After lots of hard work, we achieved it. If anyone wants to research RoboDK using C# API, it can reference their research work.
