BPM@KMU – Designing e-Learning for the Introduction of BPM in Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises

2011

Business Process Management (BPM) becomes more and more relevant also for small- and medium-sized companies (SME’s). Today’s strategies and approaches for the implementation of BPM rely on methods and tools mainly developed by and focused on large enterprises but less on the needs of small- and mid-sized organisations. With the BPM@KMU project the Institute of Information Systems of a Bavarian university conducts together with the Virtual University of Bavaria (VHB) and a set of SMEs a project which aims on an efficient implementation of BPM in such organisations. Considering e-Learning as an enabler or tool which matches existing barriers for the implementation of Business Process Manageme…

Adolescents' school-related self-concept mediates motor skills and psychosocial well-being.

2014

Background The health benefits of exercise participation and physical activity for mental health and psychosocial well-being (PSWB) have been shown in several studies. However, one important background factor, that is, motor skills (MSs), has largely been ignored. In addition, most of the existing research focuses on poor MSs, that is, poor MSs are often connected to poorer PSWB. The mechanism linking MSs and PSWB is unclear. However, a preliminary suggestion has been made that self-worth or self-perceptions might mediate the association between MSs and PSWB. Aim We investigated whether the self-concepts (SCs) of school-related physical education (SCPE), reading (SCR), and mathematics (SCM)…

A teacher's reflections on learning and teaching in an English-medium CLIL teaching experiment

2013

Tämän proseminaaritutkielman tarkoituksena oli tarkastella opiskelijoiden ja opettajan omaa suullista englanninkielen käyttöä englanniksi toteutetussa vieraskielisessä sisällönopetuksessa eli CLIL-opetuksessa työtään kehittävän ja ammatillista oppimista tavoittelevan tutkivan CLIL-opettajan näkökulmasta. CLIL-opetuskokeilu tapahtui Jyväskylän ammattikorkeakoulun musiikin koulutusohjelmassa lukuvuonna 2011–2012, ja oppisisältönä oli vapaan säestyksen opintojakso. Opetuskokeilun tavoitteena oli tukea osaltaan ammattikorkeakouluopiskelijoiden ammatillisen kielitaidon kehittymistä, erityisesti kykyä ymmärtää ja käyttää suullisessa kommunikaatiossa oman alan musiikillista sanastoa. Tutkimuksen t…

Vēstures un angļu valodas integrēta apguve 9.klasē

2019

Globalizācija ir daļa no mūsu dzīves mūsdienas un tās nozīme tikai palielinās. Satura un valodas integrēta apguve ir plaši atzīta ne tikai Eiropā, bet arī visa pasaulē jau no 1990-tajiem gadiem. Satura un valodas integrēta apguve ir ļoti populāra, jo skolēniem arvien vairāk nepieciešama angļu valoda, lai turpinātu savas studijas. Viņiem niepieciešamas angļu valodas zināšanas akadēmiskā akademiskā līmeni, lai sekmīgi turpinātu studijas un saprast dažādus jēdzienus, ko lieto viņu izvēlētajā priekšmetā. Jēdzienus neapgūst angļu valodas stundās. Satura un valodas integrēta apguve nozīmē aktīvu starppriekšmetu saikni. Skolēni mācās angļu valodu ne tikai angļu valodas stundās, bet viņi izmanto an…

Explaining Individual and Collective Programming Students’ Behavior by Interpreting a Black-Box Predictive Model

2021

Predicting student performance as early as possible and analysing to which extent initial student behaviour could lead to failure or success is critical in introductory programming (CS1) courses, for allowing prompt intervention in a move towards alleviating their high failure rate. However, in CS1 performance prediction, there is a serious lack of studies that interpret the predictive model’s decisions. In this sense, we designed a long-term study using very fine-grained log-data of 2056 students, collected from the first two weeks of CS1 courses. We extract features that measure how students deal with deadlines, how they fix errors, how much time they spend programming, and so forth. Subs…

NAVIGAZIONE WEB CONDIVISA ED E-CONFERENCE COME STRUMENTI DI APPRENDIMENTO

2009

La ricerca riguarda una sperimentazione, nell’ambito di percorsi universitari in blended e-learning che ha come obiettivo l’individuazione di buone pratiche a sostegno di percorsi di apprendimento in settori specialistici che richiedono un’interazione più assidua e diretta tra studenti e docenti /tutor. Alcuni autori affermano che le capacità di comunicazione asincrona della rete facilitano esperienze di apprendimento contemporaneamente indipendenti e collaborative (cfr. Garrison e Kanuka, 2004). Nella comunicazione via web forum si sviluppano discussioni, si intessono relazioni, ci si confronta sui vari temi, si scambiano opinioni, avendo in genere sufficiente tempo per trattare i vari arg…

A Statistical Study to Analyze the Impact of External Weather Change on Chronic Pulmonary Infection in South Norway with Machine Learning Algorithms

2021

In this paper, we analyzed the holistic impact of external weather on chronic pulmonary infection in the Agder region with traditional machine learning algorithms. Millions of people are diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Our study is dedicated in the Agder region, the Southern part of Norway. Norway has four seasons – winter (December-February), late winter/spring (March-May), Summer (June-August), and Autumn (September-November) in a year with average annual temperature approx. 7.5 °C | 45.5 °F and an annual rainfall of 1260 mm or 49.6 in. in Kristiansand. As predicted by the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2016, Norway suffered from 8% mortality due to c(1)h…

Deep Neural Networks for Prediction of Exacerbations of Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

2018

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients need help in daily life situations as they are burdened with frequent risks of acute exacerbation and loss of control. An automated monitoring system could lead to timely treatments and avoid unnecessary hospital (re-)admissions and home visits by doctors or nurses. Therefore we present a Deep Artificial Neural Networks for approach prediction of exacerbations, particularly Feed-Forward Neural Networks (FFNN) for classification of COPD patients category and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), for early prediction of COPD exacerbations and subsequent triage. The FFNN and LSTM models are trained on data collected from remote monitoring of 94 pa…

The effect of social information from live demonstrators compared to video playback on blue tit foraging decisions.

2019

Video playback provides a promising method to study social interactions, and the number of video playback experiments has been growing in recent years. Using videos has advantages over live individuals as it increases the repeatability of demonstrations, and enables researchers to manipulate the features of the presented stimulus. How observers respond to video playback might, however, differ among species, and the efficacy of video playback should be validated by investigating if individuals’ responses to videos are comparable to their responses to live demonstrators. Here, we use a novel foraging task to compare blue tits’ (Cyanistes caeruleus) responses to social information from a live …
