Evaluation of Campus Sustainability in Teacher Education Institutes of Pakistan
Get PDFSince the approval of Agenda 2030, higher education institutions (HEIs) have expressed increasing apprehension regarding sustainability matters. However, this does not satisfy societal constituents who are committed to innovation and excellence. All United Nations Member States endorsed the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015 as a universal call to action; they present a challenge for higher education institutions (HEIs) in terms of evaluating their performance and the endeavours required to achieve them. Nevertheless, the metric management system that higher education institutions (HEIs) swiftly adopted gave rise to rankings that contrast HEIs based on metrics unrelated to the sustainability aspects of the seventeen SDGs
Parameters Monitoring Automation Kiln Manufacture Based Optical Character Recognition (OCR) with The Template Matching Method
Get PDFOne of the pieces of equipment used in the combustion-based process of creating ceramic tiles is a kiln production machine or oven. To make sure the combustion process runs smoothly, 39 parameters on the kiln engine are closely monitored, and it is manually determined if the value of these parameters exceeds the minimum or maximum limits based on the data produced by the image on the kiln engine. Losses for the company are caused by human error, carelessness, and other characteristics while these metrics are being monitored. In order to minimize losses, a monitoring system that can automate the settings of ceramic tile combustion engines is required. The initial analysis's findings are obtained using a LAN (Local Area Network) sensor recorder, which displays parameter data that can be accessed as an image rather than as digital alphanumeric data that cannot be processed directly and must instead be converted into alphanumeric data as a data source. The image is turned into alphanumeric data using the template matching technique introduced with optical character recognition (OCR), and the generated data is then compared with the given minimum or maximum parameter values. This gadget will issue an early warning message if the conversion result is more than the minimum or maximum limit. The system prototype used in this study for converting image data into alphanumeric data achieved an accuracy of 100.00% and was able to send early warning notifications in accordance with parameters that were above the established minimum or maximum limits

The use of i-THINK Mapping in teaching reading comprehension among ESL teachers
Get PDFThis study investigated the use of i-THINK Mapping in teaching reading comprehension by ESL teachers to a group of Form Five students, and the factors and challenges the ESL teachers faced in teaching reading comprehension using i-THINK Mapping. A qualitative approach, specifically a case study design, was employed in this study. Classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis of their lesson plans were used to collect the data. Four ESL teachers with a minimum of 5-year teaching experience in a rural secondary school in Hulu Selangor, Malaysia, were selected using a purposive sampling technique to participate in this study. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data obtained from classroom observations and interviews. The findings show that the teachers had applied five i-THINK maps, including a Circle Map to define in context, a Bubble Map to describe, a Double Bubble Map to compare and contrast, a Flow Map to show the sequence of an event, and a Tree Map to classify different ideas. The i-THINK Mapping motivated the students to discuss, brainstorm, and cooperate with their peers to detect the details from the given reading texts. The teachers’ challenges include the time constraints in preparing the lesson with i-THINK Mapping and a low level of student English proficiency. One implication of this study is that teachers’ use of i-THINK Mapping to teach reading comprehension could assist students in generating ideas, expanding ideas, and expressing them orally
