Item type:Publication, Virtual communities for diabetes chronic disease healthcare(Hindawi Limited, 2011); ;Sotirovska, MarijaDiabetes 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. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Textto-Speech Conversion for Macedonian as Part of a System for Support of Humans with Damaged Sight(1996) ;Josifovski, Ljubomir; Djordjevikj, DejanA subsystem for text-to-speech (TTS) conversion for Macedonian language as a part of a system for support of humans with damaged sight will be presented in this paper. The whole system includes recognition of printed Cyrillic text, archiving, TTS conversion and printing on a Braille printer. A subsystem for real-time TTS conversion from unrestricted text is under development. The whole architecture of the subsystem and some of its major modules will be presented here. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, System For Digital Processing, Storage and internet Publishing of Printed Textual Documents(2000) ;Grcevski, Nikola; Gjorgjevikj, DejanWritten sources of information are generally the best way to store data or other kind of human created materials and creations, like songs, music etc. From very beginnings of human civilization, people realized that valuable and important "things" should be written, so that they are remembered. Civilization created alphabets, letters and many machines afterwards to support the written material production. The later growth of information technology lead to the need of transformation of these printed materials in suitable digitized form, and by that giving them extended capabilities of manipulation and use of stored information. By this old and long time prepared and stored valuable information gets new dimensions of flexibility and usability, creating electronic digital archives. These archives offer many important advantages over standard printed libraries and archives like, ease of copying, ease of availability, the possibility of creating search engines, large indexes etc. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Speech synthesizer based on time domain syllable concatenation(1997-10-27) ;Josifovski, Ljubomir; Gjorgjevikj, DejanIn [2] we have presented a subsystem for text-to-speech (TTS) conversion for macedonian language as a part of a system for support of humans with damaged eyesight [1]. In this paper we present the speech synthesizer which is part of the TTS conversion subsystem. It's based on timedomain syllable concatenation. A novel module for duration and fundamental frequency (F0) modification is introduced and discussed. We believe that the architecture presented is well suited to the nature of macedonian language, and fits well with prerequisites for real-time operation on a standard, of-the-shelf hardware. The prototype containing inventory of 1275 syllables and implementing modules for duration and F0 modification was built and tested. The preliminary tests concerning the eligibility of the synthesized speech are most encouraging. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Learning System Based On Digital Games(Institute of Informatics, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, Macedonia, 2011); ; Nikolovski, MarinIn today's educational system, the use of computers, distance learning and mobile learning are more present than ever, and in recent years intensive work is done in the application of digital games as a pedagogical tool. The vast and rich virtual worlds in the digital games are exactly what make them a powerful source for getting new knowledge. They give the participants an opportunity for understanding of the learning material by experiencing it. Studies have shown that people learn best from their practice, especially when part of a larger community whose members share common goals and work together to achieve those goals. Such games, from a pedagogical point of view, enable constructivist building of knowledge and offer opportunities for making connections between the current and the new knowledge. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is studying the existing learning systems based on digital games in order to build a new system whose main objective is to familiarize participants with the rules of study and the material taught within the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies. For the purposes of implementing this system, a virtual model of the faculty will be developed that, in addition to this purpose, can be used for other purposes. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Wireless telemedicine services as part of an integrated system for e-medicine(IEEE, 2008-05-05); ; This paper presents an overview of the wireless telemedicine components of an integrated system for e-medicine that we propose and implement in the Republic of Macedonia. The introduction of new wireless broadband technologies enabled creation of telemedicine services previously only possible via cable connections. WiMAX and Wi-Fi are the wireless technologies used to implement our telemedicine functionalities. They are shortly described and a number of proposed and provided services are explained. Advanced web programming technologies have been extensively used in implementation of the services. Guidelines are given for further development and implementation. The experience gained draws conclusions that can be used in areas or countries with similar natural or economical conditions. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The Adaptive Tabu Search and Its Application to the Quadratic Assignment Problem(2006); ; ; This article presents a new algorithm for combinatorial optimization based on the basic Tabu Search scheme named Adaptive Tabu Search (A-TS). The A-TS introduces a new, complex function for evaluation of moves. The new evaluation function incorporates both the aspiration criteria and the longterm memory. A-TS also introduces a new decision making mechanism, providing means for avoiding possible infinite loops. The performance of A-TS was measured by applying it to the Quadratic Assignment Problem. The experimental results are compared to published results from other authors. The data shows that A-TS performs favorably against other established techniques. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Peter in the cloud of education(2014); ; ; This paper presents the experience of a virtual student named Peter concerning various cloud computing services offered by the school where he is currently a freshman. The paper introduces and compares the differences between the traditional Plato’s classroom and today’s new classrooms powered by novel technologies. In the foreword, we present the milestones of cloud computing in education and research with particular attention focused on services currently available at the faculty as seen from Peter’s perspective. The paper also announces further system integration of several currently available services and the intention to extend cloud services from faculty to university level. Such ambitious shift should employ all the benefits, and at the same time overcome many challenges originating from the different aspects of cloud services. Therefore, it is crucial to standardise education in line with many everyday activities
