Analyzing Differences between Online Learner Groups during the COVID-19 Pandemic through K-Prototype Clustering
Show Abstract
Abstract
Online learning is a very important means of study, and has been adopted in many countries worldwide. However, only recently are researchers able to collect and analyze massive online learning datasets due to the COVID-19 epidemic .In this article, we analyze the difference between online learner groups by using an unsupervised machine learning technique, i.e., k-prototypes clustering. Specifically, we use a questionnaire designed by domain experts to collect various online learning data, and investigate students’ online learning behavior and learn ing outcomes through analyzing the collected questionnaire data. Our analysis results suggest that students with better learning media generally have bet ter online learning behavior and learning results than those with poor online learning media. In addition, both in economically developed or undeveloped regions, the number of students with better learning media is less than the number of students with poor learning media. Finally, the results presented here show that whether in an economically developed or an economically undeveloped region, the number of students who are enriched with learning media available is an important factor that affects online learning behavior and learning outcomes.

Construction of an Automatic Bengali Text Summarizer Using Machine Learning Approaches
Show Abstract
Abstract
In our study, we chose python as the programming platform for finding an Automatic Bengali Document Summarizer. English has sufficient tools to process and receive summarized records. However, there is no specifically applicable to Bengali since Bengali has a lot of ambiguity, it differs from English in terms of grammar. Afterward, this language holds an important place because this language is spoken by 26 core people all over the world. As a result, it has taken a new method to summarize Bengali documents. The proposed system has been designed by using the following stages: pre-processing the sample doc/input doc, word tagging, pronoun replacement, sentence ranking, as well as summary. Pronoun replacement has been used to reduce the incidence of swinging pronouns in the performance review. We ranked sentences based on sentence frequency, numerical figures, and pronoun replacement. Checking the similarity between two sentences in order to exclude one since it has less duplication. Hereby, we’ve taken 3000 data as input from newspaper and book documents and learned the words to be appropriate with syntax. In addition, to evaluate the performance of the designed summarizer, the design system looked at the different documents. According to the assessment method, the recall, precision, and F-score were 0.70, 0.82 and 0.74, respectively, representing 70%, 82% and 74% recall, precision, and F-score. It has been found that the proper pronoun replacement was 72%.

Forecasting the New Trends about the Consumer Behavior in the Cruise Industry Post COVID-19
Show Abstract
Abstract
This paper presented the new sanitary and health protocols implemented by cruise companies in order to internationally resuming the industry. The perception of Brazilians regarding these new protocols was identified through a quantitative survey with a sample of 412 Brazilian respondents, carried out between May and June 2021. As main results, sanitary and health protocols that do not affect their experiences on board were identified, as well as those protocols that compromised the experience perceived by the future traveler. The respondents’ propensity to travel on cruise ships and their perceptions about the influence of the ship size, the number of ports of call, nationalities on board, the number of guests, among other aspects, were also analyzed. Finally, in the final section of this paper, we presented an estimation of the expected number of cruisers for the 21/22 cruising season in Brazil, based on a kind Bayesian argument, considering different scenarios for the forthcoming season .

Fast Object Extraction and Euler Number on Block Represented Images
Show Abstract
Abstract
The identification of objects in binary images is a fundamental task in image analysis and pattern recognition tasks. The Euler number of a binary image is an important topological measure which is used as a feature in image analysis. In this paper, a very fast algorithm for the detection and localization of the objects and the computation of the Euler number of a binary image is proposed. The proposed algorithm operates in one scan of the image and is
based on the Image Block Representation (IBR) scheme. The proposed algorithm is more efficient than conventional pixel based algorithms in terms of execution speed and representation of the extracted information.

Artificial intelligence has significantly altered many job workflows, hence expanding earlier notions of limitations, outcomes, size, and prices. GeoAI is a multidisciplinary field that encompasses computer science, engineering, statistics, and spatial science. Because this subject focuses on real-world issues, it has a significant impact on society and the economy. A broad context incorporating fundamental questions of theory, epistemology, and the scientific method is used to bring artificial intelligence (Al) and geography together. This connection has the potential to have far-reaching implications for the geographic study. GeoAI, or the combination of geography with artificial intelligence, offers unique solutions to a variety of smart city issues. This paper provides an overview of GeoAI technology, including the definition of GeoAI and the differences between GeoAI and traditional AI.

UHAS-MIDA Software Package: Mass Isotopomer Distribution Analysis-Applying the Inverse Matrix for the Determination of Stable Isotopes of Chromium Distribution during Red Blood Cell Labelling
Show Abstract
Abstract
Clinical assessment of fluid volume status in children during malaria can be taxing and often inaccurate. During malaria, changes in fluid volume are rather multifarious and estimating this parameter, especially in sick children is
very challenging for clinicians who frequently rely on indices such as long capillary refill times, tachycardia, central venous pressure and decreased urine volume as guides. Here, we present the UHAS-MIDA, an open-source software tool that calculates the red blood cell (RBC) concentration and blood volume during malaria in children determined using a stable isotope of chromium (53Cr as the label) by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in
selective ion monitoring (GC/MS-SIM) analysis. A key component involves the determination of the compositions of the most abundant naturally occurring isotopes of Cr (50Cr, 52Cr, 53Cr), and converting the proportions into a 3
× 3 matrix. To estimate unknown proportions of chromium isotopic mixtures from the measured abundances of three ions, an inverse matrix was calculated. The inverse together with several inputs is then used to calculate the
corrected MS ion abundances. Thus, we constructed the software tool UHASMIDA using HTML, CSS/Bootstrap, JavaScript, and PHP scripting languages. The tool enables the user to efficiently determine RBC concentration and fluid volume. The source code, binary packages and associated materials for UHAS-MIDA are freely available at at
