No full textHarnessing hybrid deep learning approach for personalized retrieval in e-learning
No full textThe current worldwide pandemic has significantly increased the need for online learning platforms, hence presenting difficulty in choosing appropriate course materials from the vast online educational resources due to user knowledge frameworks variations. This paper presents a novel course recommendation system called the Deep Learning-based Course Recommendation System (DLCRS). The DLCRS combines a hybrid Sequential GRU+adam optimizer with collaborative filtering techniques to offer accurate and learner-centric course suggestions. The proposed approach integrates modules for learner feature extraction and course feature extraction that is performed using (Embeddings from Language Models) ELMO word embedding technique in order to gain a thorough understanding of learner and course profiles and feedback. In order to evaluate the efficacy of the proposed DLCRS, several extensive experiments were carried out utilizing authentic datasets sourced from a reputable public organization. The results indicate a notable area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) score of 89.62%, which exceeds the performance of similar advanced course recommendation systems. The experimental findings support the viability of the DLCRS, as seen by a significant hit ratio of 0.88, indicating high accuracy in its suggestions

Transformative synergy: SSEHCET—bridging mobile edge computing and AI for enhanced eHealth security and efficiency
No full textBlockchain technologies (BCT) are utilized in healthcare to facilitate a smart and secure transmission of patient data. BCT solutions, however, are unable to store data produced by IoT devices in smart healthcare applications because these applications need a quick consensus process, meticulous key management, and enhanced eprivacy standards. In this work, a smart and secure eHealth framework SSEHCET (Smart and Secure EHealth Framework using Cutting-edge Technologies) is proposed that leverages the potentials of modern cutting-edge technologies (IoT, 5G, mobile edge computing, and BCT), which comprises six layers: 1) The sensing layer-WBAN consists of medical sensors that normally are on or within the bodies of patients and communicate data to smartphones. 2) The edge layer consists of elements that are near IoT devices to collect data. 3) The Communication layer leverages the potential of 5G technology to transmit patients' data between multiple layers efficiently. 4) The storage layer consists of cloud servers or other powerful computers. 5) Security layer, which uses BCT to transmit and store patients' data securely. 6) The healthcare community layer includes healthcare professionals and institutions. For the processing of medical data and to guarantee dependable, safe, and private communication, a Smart Agent (SA) program was duplicated on all layers. The SA leverages the potential of BCT to protect patients' privacy when outsourcing data. The contribution is substantiated through a meticulous evaluation, encompassing security, ease of use, user satisfaction, and SSEHCET structure. Results from an in-depth case study with a prominent healthcare provider underscore SSEHCET's exceptional performance, showcasing its pivotal role in advancing the security, usability, and user satisfaction paradigm in modern eHealth landscapes
Unheard Voices: Language Education Outside the Mainstream
No full textUnheard voices: Language education outside the mainstreamResearch Intelligence issue 158For several decades, a range of schools, services and workers, from across the charitable and other not-for-profit sectors and non-governmental organisations, have been providing enriching to life-changing language education to countless learners of all ages from all walks of life. These valuable places of community or alternative education have been embraced by learners as safe inclusive spaces that foster lasting relationships. Nevertheless, they have historically been overlooked by the mainstream sector and underappreciated or unrecognised by society at large.This issue of Research Intelligence, guest edited by Virginia L. Lam and Sahar Y. I. Alshobaki, aims to give voice to those who work in, or have supported, diverse forms of language education. It sheds light on the impactful work of the settings and services, and the issues they face. Through these articles we gain insights into different forms of language education outside the mainstream, the professionals who have evolved and adapted their practices for the learners and communities they serve, and the challenges these provisions and groups have faced or overcome, the essence that marks out such unique people and places of education.Contributions to this issue:Virginia L. Lam examines modern foreign languages (MFL) education and communities, including heritage language tuition in complementary schools.Zara Fahim, Yuni Kim and Eva Eppler consider barriers to formal qualifications in heritage languages.Yoshito Darmon-Shimamori provides a parent and teacher’s perspective on practitioners’ development of MFL literacy.Liz Black explores research-informed continuing professional development outside the mainstream.Ruth Durant provides a practitioner’s reflections on informal EAL provisions, including the role of friendship.Samson Maekele Tsegay and Muhammad Azeem Ashraf discuss linguistic immobility in study-abroad contexts.Zehui Yang highlights equality initiatives, including design-based research, to empower non-native English-speaking teachers.Alison Phipps considers reflexive language pedagogies for cultural justice

The resident local provides depth and authenticity and vice versa, placing a stranger into a familiar environment highlights the features that have forgotten to be seen. The editing intensifies the opposing features of historic architecture and the sounds of construction sites, illuminating themes of heritage and development, and frictions between community and commerce.Directors: Ana Baer Carrillo & Heike SalzerChoreography and Dance: Heike Salzer, Michelle Nance, Florinda CamilleriCostume design: Robert BurtonMusic composition: Jack LaidlawSound Design and Mixing: Richard D.
