IMPROVING TEACHING AND LEARNING MATHEMATICS COURSES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING STUDIES
(IATED Academy, 2021-03-08)
;
;
;
The importance and the role of mathematics courses in solving real-life problems and applications, including software development, are invaluable. However, some students of Computer Science and Engineering do not fully realize the connection and therefore dislike learning mathematics. They do not appreciate the importance and the role of mathematics and some of them think that only hands-on programming and software tools knowledge is sufficient for a good computer science engineer. As mathematics courses are the core of first-year studies of any Computer Science and Engineering studies, sometimes they are the main reason for students’ failure to meet the requirements of first year academic studies and eventually to graduate. One of the projects that aims to improve the learning and teaching of mathematics courses is ITEM (Innovative Teaching Education in Mathematics). The ITEM project plans to develop and test innovative learning and teaching tools, new methodologies and approaches (learning outcomes and ICT based practices) towards building and enhancing students’ mathematics skills. In this paper, we analyse possibilities to improve the teaching and learning of mathematics courses using mathematical software. The ubiquity of computers and mobile devices together with its potential to bridge classroom learning to real-world has added a new angle to contextualizing mathematics learning. We will present the results of а student survey for the experience of using GeoGebra or other similar applications as a tool for mastering the materials for the Calculus course at our faculty. Also, we will analyse the answers to the student questionnaire for their opinion and suggestions for improving the lectures. As a conclusion, we will give some recommendations for solving the mentioned problems and some suggestions for further improvement of teaching and learning mathematics courses.

We have come to a point in time when there is an abundance of database usage in almost all aspects of our lives. However, most of the end users have neither the knowledge nor the need to manage the databases. Even more important, they are unable to generate the ever changing reports they need, based on the data in their databases. Our Applicative Solution for Generating Reports from Templates (ASGRT) tries to deal efficiently with this issue. It has a simple yet effective architectural design aimed to give power to the more experienced administrators and simplicity to common end users, to generate reports with their own criteria and design, from their databases. The presented software enables creation of templates containing text and tags that are recognized and substituted by values retrieved from the database, therefore enabling creation of customized reports with varying ease of use and flexibility.

Systems medicine holds many promises, but has so far provided only a limited number of proofs of principle. To address this road block, possible barriers and challenges of translating systems medicine into clinical practice need to be identified and addressed. The members of the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action CA15120 Open Multiscale Systems Medicine (OpenMultiMed) wish to engage the scientific community of systems medicine and multiscale modelling, data science and computing, to provide their feedback in a structured manner. This will result in follow-up white papers and open access resources to accelerate the clinical translation of systems medicine.

In the nineties, numerous studies began to highlight the problem of the increasing number of people with Alzheimer's disease in developed countries, especially in the context of demographic progress. At the same time, the 21st century is typical of the development of advanced technologies that penetrate all areas of human life. Digital devices, sensors, and intelligent applications are tools that can help seniors and allow better communication and control of their caregivers. The aim of the paper is to provide an up-to-date summary of the use of technological solutions for improving health and safety for people with Alzheimer's disease. Firstly, the problems and needs of senior citizens with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and their caregivers are specified. Secondly, a scoping review is performed regarding the technological solutions suggested to assist this specific group of patients. Works obtained from the following libraries used in this scoping review: Web of Science, PubMed, Springer, ACM and IEEE Xplore. Four independent reviewers screened the identified records and selected relevant articles which were published in the period from 2007 to 2018. A total of 6,705 publications were selected. In all, 128 full papers were screened. Results obtained from the relevant studies were furthermore divided into the following categories according to the type and use of technologies: devices, processing, and activity recognition. The leading technological solution in the category of devices are wearables and ambient non-invasive sensors. The introduction and utilization of these technologies however brings about challenges in acceptability, durability, ease of use, communication, and power requirements. Furthermore, in needs to be pointed out that these technological solutions should be based on open standards.

Cloud-Based Electronic Health Record for Health Data Exchange
(Prof. Sasho Korunovski, PhD, Rector “St Kliment Ohridski” University - Bitola Republic of Macedonia, 2018-10-05)
Gavrilov, Goce
;
;
;
This paper proposes a model for an Electronic Health Record for Health Data Exchange based on a SaaS (Software as a service) service model developed on top of cloud computing technology. Service oriented architecture (SOA) and SaaS enable establishment of service model by leveraging the benefits of both. In the proposed model EHRs are stored in the cloud, and can be accessed through a web portal or background web services through SOA. The system is using Health Level Seven International (HL7) standard and is capable of storing information on: healthcare processes, resources, users and authorization, also capable of recording of all data on the patient history, diagnostic test data, therapy, decisions request for further investigations, and treatment. The system is set up to support the use of technologies, decision support and management plans. Owners of EHRs are responsible for generating access policies based on the attributes of authorized healthcare providers, encrypting EHRs and uploading encrypted EHRs, digital signing of all request for getting data and digital signing of response into the cloud. EHRs is organized into a hierarchical data structure, which give possibilities to share different parts of the EHR making our model more flexible.

Sotirovska, Marija
;
Diabetes is classified as the world's fastest-growing chronic illness that affects millions of people. It is a very serious disease, but the bright side is that it is treatable and can be managed. Proper education in this view is necessary to achieve essential control and prevent the aggregation of this chronic sickness. We have developed a healthcare social network that provides methods for distance learning; opportunities for creation of virtual self-help groups where patients can get information and establish interactions among each other in order to exchange important healthcare-related information; discussion forums; patient-to-healthcare specialist communication. The mission of our virtual community is to increase the independence of people with diabetes, self-management, empower them to take care of themselves, make their everyday activities easier, enrich their medical knowledge, and improve their health condition, make them more productive, and improve their communication with other patients with similar diagnoses. The ultimate goal is to enhance the quality of their life.

Mobile and web technologies are becoming increasingly used to support the treatment of chronic pain conditions. However, the subjectivity of pain perception makes its management and evaluation very difficult. Pain treatment requires a multi-dimensional approach (e.g., sensory, affective, cognitive) whence the evidence of technology effects across dimensions is lacking. This study aims to describe computerised monitoring systems and to suggest a methodology, based on statistical analysis, to evaluate their effects on pain assessment.

By improving the quality of life and extending the length of life, Western society is becoming an increasingly ageing population with a higher proportion of seniors. From another point of view, there is a critical shortage of care staff, both in hospitals and for in-home care. Thanks to new technology trends such as Smart Homes and Smart Furniture, there is an opportunity for increased support for seniors by utilizing new technologies. This paper presents the current trends and possibilities in applying smart information and communications technology (ICT) solutions for in-home care concerning diseases in old age. The paper consists of a systematic review according to the PRISMA methodology of the available literature in Web of Science, IEEE Xplore, PubMed, Springer, and the Espacenet patent database. Publications report the usage of some types of artificial intelligence and their implementation and non-intrusive sensing technologies. The patents review identified solutions with a focus on monitoring the state of older adults and mobility improvement. Existing ICT smart solutions must address the following issues: (1) ease-of-use; (2) invisibility and disuse that isolate older adults; (3) privacy and security; (4) affordability of technology in terms of cost; and (5) supporting elderly individuals to stay in their homes or move in different environments independently. There is a significant gap between a large number of scientific publications and commercial solutions. The existing products reflect the specifics of the diseases in a rather wider context instead of the fulfilment of exact needs. It is often stated that such devices can be used across diseases, but the direct connection and benefits for the disease is still rather weak. The challenge remains to tap the existing potential of a large number of innovative ideas on the market and improve the quality of life.

Amid obesity problems in the young population and apparent trends of spending a significant amount of time in a stationary position, promoting healthy nutrition and physical activities to teenagers is becoming increasingly important. It can rely on different methodologies, including a paper diary and mobile applications. However, the widespread use of mobile applications by teenagers suggests that they could be a more suitable tool for this purpose. This paper reviews the methodologies for promoting physical activities to healthy teenagers explored in different studies, excluding the analysis of different diseases. We found only nine studies working with teenagers and mobile applications to promote active lifestyles, including the focus on nutrition and physical activity. Studies report using different techniques to captivate the teenagers, including questionnaires and gamification techniques. We identified the common features used in different studies, which are: paper diary, diet diary, exercise diary, notifications, diet plan, physical activity registration, gamification, smoking cessation, pictures, game, and SMS, among others.

Demographic data suggest a rapid aging trend in the active workforce. The concept of aging at work comes from the urgent requirement to help the aging workforce of the contemporary industries to maintain productivity while achieving a work and private life balance. While there is plenty of research focusing on the aging population, current research activities on policies covering the concept of aging at work are limited and conceptually different. This paper aims to review publications on aging at work, which could lead to the creation of a framework that targets governmental decision-makers, the non-governmental sector, the private sector, and all of those who are responsible for the formulation of policies on aging at work. In August 2019 we searched for peer-reviewed articles in English that were indexed in PubMed, IEEE Xplore, and Springer and published between 2008 and 2019. The keywords included the following phrases: "successful aging at work", "active aging at work", "healthy aging at work", "productive aging at work", and "older adults at work". A total of 47,330 publications were found through database searching, and 25,187 publications were screened. Afterwards, 7756 screened publications were excluded from the further analysis, and a total of 17,431 article abstracts were evaluated for inclusion. Finally, further qualitative analysis included 1375 articles, of which about 24 are discussed in this article. The most prominent works suggest policies that encourage life-long learning, and a workforce that comprises both younger and older workers, as well as gradual retirement.
