Classification of Food Objects Using Deep Convolutional Neural Network Using Transfer Learning
Статья научная
With the advancements of Deep Learning technologies, its application has broadened into the fields of food classification from image recognition using Convolutional Neural Network, since food ingredient classification is a very important aspect for eating habit recognition and also reducing food waste. This research is an addition to the previous research with a clear illustration for deep learning approaches and how to maximize the classification accuracy to get a more profound framework for food ingredient classification. A fine-tuned model based on the Xception Convolutional Neural Network model trained with transfer learning has been proposed with a promising accuracy of 95.20% which indicates a greater scope of accurately classifying food objects with Xception deep learning model. Higher rate of accuracy opens the door of further research of identifying various new types of food objects through a robust approach. The main contribution in the research is better fine-tuning features of food classification.

Classroom Management Strategies and Academic Performance of Junior High School Students
Статья научная
The study examined the influence of classroom management strategies of Junior High School teachers on the academic performance of students in the Ashanti Akim North District. The descriptive survey design was used for the study. One hypothesis and two research questions were developed to guide the study. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 48 teachers and 297 year two students to respond to the Behaviour and Instructional Management Scale (BIMS). Test scores in English Language, Integrated Science, Mathematics and Social Studies were used to measure students’ academic performance. The statistical tools used to analyse the data collected were means, standard deviation, Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMCC) and Multiple Regression. The findings revealed that both students and teachers identified good relationship and reinforcement as the mostly used classroom management strategies. It was found that a significant positive relationship existed between reinforcement and antecedent as classroom management schemes and students’ academic performance. However, good relationship and punishment as classroom management strategies did not have a positive relationship with the academic performance of students. It is recommended that teachers should use reinforcement and antecedent strategies frequently in their classrooms since they play a dual role of managing behaviour and predicting the academic performance of students. Good relationship as a classroom management strategy should be cautiously used because it could potentially be misinterpreted or abused and can lead to low academic performance. Using punishment as a classroom management strategy should be avoided as its use hinders academic performance of students.

The data mining classification techniques and analysis can enable banks to move precisely classify consumers into various credit risk group. Knowing what risk group a consumer falls into would allows a bank to fine tune its lending policies by recognizing high risk groups of consumers to whom loans should not be issued, and identifying safer loans that should be issued on terms commensurate with the risk of default. So research en for classification and prediction of loan grants. The attributes are determined that have greatest effect in the loan grants. For this purpose C4.5, CART and Naïve Bayes are compared and analyzed in this research. This concludes that a bank should not only target the rich customers for granting loan but it should assess the other attributes of a customer as well which play a very important part in credit granting decisions and predicting the loan defaulters.

Comparative Analysis of Two Programming Platforms for Beginners: Python and Scratch
Статья научная
This research paper conducts a comparative analysis of Python and Scratch, exploring their strengths and weaknesses in introductory programming education. While Scratch serves as an excellent starting point, it has limitations, prompting discussions about its suitability for all learners. Some argue that starting with Scratch facilitates a smoother transition into Python, while others suggest its effectiveness in attracting beginners to computer science. The study, conducted over 12 weeks among beginners in a Nigerian higher institution, aims to assess factors such as ease of learning, versatility, community support, and real-world application on both platforms. The first 4 weeks, participants were introduced to Scratch, then were introduced to Python from week 5 to 8 and finally week 9 to 12 were to work on projects and compare both platforms. The research delves into the experiences of participants lacking prior programming experience, emphasizing the exploration of thematic analysis, System Usability Scale (SUS) scores and individual responses. A total of four evaluations were carried out. Results from the thematic analysis of the 1st evaluation using thematic analysis reveals that Scratch has the ability to foster computational thinking. The 2nd evaluation reveals that Scratch is preferred for tasks such as game development which has the ability to further deepen their programming experience. In the third evaluation, 46.3% of the participants agreed that experience gained from Scratch was helpful in learning Python while 70% agreed to some or a great extent that knowledge and skills acquired from learning Scratch was transferable to learning Python. The fourth evaluation was to understand the ease of use of Scratch versus Python using SUS. The results from SUS notably reveal that the limited number of female participants showed intriguing preferences, with a lone female participant indicating a higher preference for Scratch. However, examining individual responses revealed a consistent outlier, with all participants expressing a higher preference for using Python more frequently than Scratch, despite their initial exposure to both platforms. This research suggests that the choice between Python and Scratch goes beyond syntax preferences, involving pedagogical strategies and the learning experiences each platform offers. This research contributes insights into the effectiveness of Scratch and Python in an educational setting, offering a nuanced understanding of the preferences and experiences of beginners. The findings underscore the importance of considering not only platform features but also individual learning experiences and pedagogical strategies in shaping programming education for novices.

Computer Aided Instruction for Literature Courses Teaching
Статья научная
A majority of domestic universities currently possess conditions of carrying out computer aided instruction, however, most of them are immersed in pure applications of multimedia classroom systems. In such application environment, teachers of literature courses generally have bias on understanding of multimedia, thus they pay more attentions to application of multimedia teaching tools and ignore the effective combination of multimedia technology and literature courses with its own characteristics. Literature courses primarily allow students to capture the beauty of Chinese language and its styles through permutations and combinations of them, and then enjoy pleasure of character plots, deep thoughts and feelings and so on. Based on this understanding, computer-assisted instruction should reasonably arrange proportion of multimedia elements: text, images, audio, video and others. Meanwhile, education of magnetic personality of teachers and predominance of teachers during teaching process should not be neglected. At last but not least, proper body language, fine grasp of the classroom rhythm and suitable display of multimedia elements can dramatically improve the effectiveness of delivery, and then achieve the purpose of humane education.
