Production Monitoring

Computer technology has given manufacturers the opportunity to monitor, on-line and in real-time, a wide variety of manufacturing systems. Such monitoring systems have considerable potential for expansion and development but need to take account of the special characteristics of particular manufacturing systems and how the information is to be used to best effect. This paper outlines the use of monitoring in the broad context of manufacturing plant operations and describes the design of a development system that will facilitate research into the effective application and improvement of monitoring systems.

English Academic Writing

Teaching writing in English is one of the principal tasks of English training of students in linguistic higher educational institutions, i.e. of training future teachers of English, translators, and applied linguists. This is due to the fact that written speech is more and more taking the position of the leading form of international communication in English as the global/planetary language of such communication, especially if that communication is professional, and, in particular, the academic one. For students of linguistic higher educational institutions, the main constituent of their English writing training is teaching them English academic writing (i.e. writing academic essays) because gaining command of just such writing skills serves as the basic means of mastering the skills of writing in English the most sophisticated types of written papers, such as professional articles, theses, presentation texts, etc. This kind of teaching only now begins to be researched in Ukrainian methodology of foreign language instruction, while using the project-computer methodology for that has not been researched at all as yet. This was the stimulus for choosing the above-mentioned issue as the subject matter of consideration in this article. It analyzes the project-computer technology developed by the authors and consisting of 12 stages of forming students’ academic essay writing skills in three selected subgenres of such essays (“personal opinion,” “for and against,” “problems and solutions”). All these stages are divided into the stages of off-line (purely project stages) and stages of blended off-line – on-line and purely on-line learning activities (project-computer stages). The characteristics of every stage are discussed and the model of the teaching/learning process in the conditions of using project-computer technology is suggested. The information concerning the practical efficiency of this technology is given. The conclusion is made about the rationality of introducing such a technology into courses of English at both linguistic and non-linguistic higher schools. Keywords: linguistic higher educational institution, academic writing in English, project-computer technology, stages of developing academic writing skills.

Rendering Techniques

ABSTRACTThis paper examines various rendering techniques and emphasizes the unique contribution that computer technology offers to transcription. First, the basic manual transcription procedure and its grounds are discussed. Next, three methods of generating transcripts are considered separately: (a) completely manual preparation; (b) a combination of manual and computer procedures; and (c) the on-line processing/monitoring by computer. Finally, the relative advantages and limitations of these techniques are discussed in terms of a trade-off between several factors which include initial investment in equipment, person hours, cost of copying and modifying transcripts, and reduction of errors in transcribing data.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to consider two recent studies on computer use by older people, who may become increasingly isolated due to infirmity and sensory impairments. Older people are less likely to use computer technology yet it has been suggested that it may help reduce isolation. These studies inquired into older people’s experience with computers. Design/methodology/approach – The first paper discussed here explored how a sample of older people in the USA acquired a computer and whether it contributed to their well-being. The second paper was about a similar study with a sample of older people in the UK. Findings – In the US sample, people who saw tablet computers being used by a friend were likely to purchase one. In the UK sample, people seemed to have had to overcome more fears of using computer technology, but in both samples, once initial difficulties were overcome, people were enthusiastic about using them. In both, people felt more able to keep up hobbies and interests through finding information or connecting with interest groups online, and able to keep connected with family members. Originality/value – In light of increasing migration of services and information to the internet, these studies explored the things that help and hinder older people in terms of using computers, in order to address the digital divide, whereby those unable to use them can be left isolated and with reduced information and support. These studies were able to explore personal meanings of computer use and specific fears and difficulties, which are important to understand in planning for training and support for older people who are not yet on line. They also demonstrated that, alongside face-to-face interaction, being online was experienced as reducing people’s isolation and enhancing their lives.

Mokant programavimo jau seniai taikomas automatinis vertinimas. Tokiu atveju mokiniai (ar studentai) turi programas-sprendimus pateikti testavimo sistemai. Kad sistema galėtų patikrinti darbus, jie turi tenkinti gana griežtus reikalavimus. Savo ruožtu automatinė vertinimo sistema gali įvertinti dalį pamatuojamų kriterijų, patikrinti programos funkcionavimą su pradinių duomenų rinkiniais. Automatinių sistemų funkcionalumas kartais praplečiamas rankinėmis vertinimo galimybėmis, taip gaunantpusiau automatines sistemas. Sistemose paplitę du pagrindiniai programų analizės metodai: dinaminis ir statinis, o vertinimo būdų, kriterijų įvairovė yra gerokai didesnė. Automatinės mokinių programų vertinimo sistemos gelbsti ne tik vertinant kontrolines užduotis. Jos gali turėti ir mokomąją funkciją – mokinys gauna galimybę greitai, vos ne bet kuriuo momentu pasitikrinti, gauti kitą panašią užduotį, esti įsitikinęs vertinimo objektyvumu. Siekiant tobulinti automatinio vertinimo mokomąją funkciją reikia skirti daugiau dėmesio esamų sistemų analizei, jų pranašumams ir trūkumams. Straipsnyje lyginamosios analizės būdu vertinami sprendimai, siūlomos naujos sistemų tobulinimo sritys.Comparative Analysis of Automatic Students’ Program Evaluation SystemsBronius Skūpas SummaryPractice in programming is typical for graduators of secondary schools and for programming courses in universities. Students usually have programming assignments that need to be assessed. The assessment can be done using automatic assessment systems. There are several areas where such systems can be used: programming competitions and preparations for them, evaluation of maturity exam in programming, teaching of programming in courses. Static and dynamic assessment of programs is discussed. Article compares several different assessment systems described in literature and available from Internet. Comparative analysis shows main strength and weakness of automatic assessment systems. Requirements, possibilities and trends for future assessment systems are discussed.

As an important aspect of instruction, assessment is mainly used for grading achievement rather than as a means to support teaching and learning. CyberCoaching System (CCS) is introduced and elucidated as a theoretical framework for an alternative dynamic assessment that can be used for coaching on-line. Such assessment is referred to as a diagnostic cognitive assessment (DCA). Its function is to diagnose cognitive processes for effective learning and instructional intervention. To support DCA, CCS is composed of the ‘Expert Knowledge Model’, the ‘Statistical Models’, and the ‘Student Model’. The Expert Knowledge Model emulates human coaching by modeling coach’s expert knowledge. The statistical models provide probabilistic inferences of the cognitive processes of learning. The student model updates student profiles. A learning episode of sum of squares and cross products in statistics is used as an example to show how CCS can work. Further research on cognitive diagnostic assessment, and prototyping CCS for future development are suggested.

Logical Extension

It is possible for computers to substitute for, add to, and enhance the function of the anaesthetic apparatus. Already computerised accounting is available. To have the computer print out the anaesthetic record with input derived from manual input and on-line monitors is a logical extension of this technology. Computerisation can assist in such administrative tasks as theatre and anaesthetic staff allocation. Regret ably health authorities tend to regard computer technology as a specialised area, only capable of being applied by experts. This is slowing down the application of computer technology in the field of anaesthesia.
