Статья научная
As higher education increasingly shifts towards inquiry‐based learning to equipgraduates with industry‐relevant skills, project‐based learning (PBL) has emerged as a promising approach, particularly in technical disciplines such as computer science. This study investigates learner experiences with PBL in a semester‐long Mobile Application Development course for diploma students. Employing a case study design, we administered a mixed‐method questionnaire that captured both quantitative ratings and qualitative insights. Analysis of responses reveals that PBL significantly boosts motivation, engagement, and confidence while enhancing conceptual understanding, collaboration, and practical skills in mobile app development. Despite these benefits, students identified challenges related to inadequate computing resources and technical difficulties that can hinder project execution. Importantly, the findings indicate strong learner readiness for adopting PBL across other technical courses, offering practical direction for educators aiming to integrate PBL to foster both hard and soft skills in alignment with industry demands. These results underscore PBL's potential to transform technical education and inform curriculum design, while pinpointing needed improvements in resource allocation and support.

This research paper investigates the attitudes and behaviors of Sri Lankan internet users toward passwords and password managers. The study addresses the security flaws and malpractices associated with passwords and aims to identify effective password management solutions. Two surveys were conducted, one focusing on user attitudes and strategies related to passwords, and the other evaluating user experiences with decentralized offline password managers. The findings reveal that a significant portion of the participants employed complex password-creation strategies and utilized various methods for storing and reusing passwords. Male participants and individuals in the 20-29 age group were predominant in the study. Surprisingly, only a minority of participants had received training in password creation and management. The analysis also indicated that participants without training tended to create easily breakable pass-words, while those with training opted for more complex and stronger passwords. In terms of password management methods, participants without training relied on manual note-taking or memorization, while those with training pre-ferred secure password managers. Furthermore, the study found a higher prevalence of password reuse among partici-pants who used manual password creation methods compared to those who used password generators. The research underscores the need for improved password management practices and increased awareness among Sri Lankan internet users. The findings introduce novel insights into the existing knowledge of password management and lay the groundwork for developing targeted interventions and strategies to enhance security in the Sri Lankan online landscape.

The role played by the E-learning system is crucial, especially in the urgent need for working away from the universities and colleges such as on holidays, weekends, and during pandemic situations like COVID-19. Researchers have constantly been producing more sophisticated alternatives for effective usage of E-learning systems and among them include models which explain how users accept, use, and evaluate such systems as they use them on daily basis. Due to the low ICT readiness in developing nations like Tanzania, there is a lack of grounds for the inclusion of various factors and dimensions to the conceptual models which in turn results in testing incomplete, intuitive, and ad hoc sets or irrelevant dimensions. This study closes this gap by conducting a systematic documentary review of studies from 2007 to 2020 on E-learning systems to identify the key factors and their associated dimensions. The findings provide foundations that further research on e-learning acceptance in the contexts of developing countries including Tanzania can adopt on formulating hypotheses and generating information on their research contexts.

Face Recognition using Curvelet Transform and (2D)2PCA
Статья научная
This paper proposes a novel algorithm for face recognition, which is based on curvelet transform and (2D)2PCA. Contrast to traditional tools such as wavelet transform, curvelet transform has better directional and edge representation abilities. Inspired by these attractive attributes, we decompose face images to get low frequency coefficients by curvelet transform. (2D)2PCA with an exponential decay factor is applied on these selected coefficients to extract feature vectors, which will achieve dimension reduction as well. The nearest neighbor classifier is adopted for classification. Extensive comparison experiments on different data sets are carried out on ORL and Yale face database. Results prove that the proposed algorithm has high recognition accuracy and short recognition time, and it is also robust to changes in pose, expression and illumination.

Fast Intra Mode Decision Algorithm Based on Texture Direction Detection for H.264/AVC
Статья научная
The latest video coding standard H.264/AVC outperforms previous standards in terms of coding efficiency at cost of higher runtime complexity. When RDO is used, the most time-consuming process in a H.264/AVC encoder is mode decision, where all the intra/inter modes are tested to find the optimal coding mode. In this paper, we present a fast intra mode decision scheme, which first detects the texture direction and only tests a subset of intra modes consistent with detected direction. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme significantly reduces the overall encoding time with negligible coding performance loss.

Forecasting using Artificial Neural Network and Statistics Models
Статья научная
Forecasting is very important for planning and decision-making in all fields to predict the conditions and cases surrounding the problem under study before making any decision. Hence, many forecasting methods have been developed to produce accurate predicted values. Consumer price indices provide appropriate and timely information about prices changes, which affect the economy of all Yemenis because of their different uses in many ways. It can be used as an economic indicator (wider use in the inflation measurement), and as a means of regulating income. It is also used as a supplement for statistical chains to predict future value indices in order to make sure that the data accurately reflect the patterns purchased by the Yemeni consumer. In this paper, we propose a modified artificial neural network method to predict the indices of consumer in the Republic of Yemen to the prices of the period from 01/01/2005 till 01/01/2014. The results of using the proposed method is compared to a classical statistical method. The proposed method is based on artificial neural networks, namely, back propagation with adaptive slope and momentum parameter to update weights. However, the statistical method is Box-Jenkins model which is used to predict time series. The experimental results show that artificial neural networks gives better predictive values due to their ability to deal with the nonlinear and stochastic data better than traditional statistical modeling techniques.
