Description:

The quality assurance of education and training is of paramount importance, and the monitoring, assessment and evaluation process is indispensable for this purpose. A key determinant of the effectiveness of education is assessment, which serves not only to measure performance but also to support the learning process. The process of assessment and evaluation must take into account the diverse needs and abilities of students. Differentiated assessment supports individual learning paths and personal development. Assessment must be objective and valid, but it can achieve its deeper developmental purpose when personalized. Our research aims to enhance pedagogical assessment efficiency by developing a machine learning-supported assessment system. The research focuses on developing STEM skills and analyzes children's questions to understand their interests and needs better. During the research, we observe the characteristics of questions posed by children and develop a machine learning algorithm that helps provide suggestions to educators for creating assessment questions. Based on the data, we identify children's areas of interest and the difficulty level of questions. According to the research results, children's questions can significantly differ from question sets prepared by educators, suggesting that children's diverse perspectives and interests should be given even greater consideration in teaching. The research also raises further directions for development. It aims to use machine learning to understand better the diverse ways of thinking and differences in expression among children, thereby making education and assessment more effective. This can contribute significantly to the efficiency and effectiveness of the teaching-learning process.

Description:

The global outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic has radically transformed people’s daily lives since the spring of 2020. In addition to the direct health consequences of the virus, the epidemic has had a significant impact on the functioning of society, people’s lifestyles and has also had a fundamental impact on the world of work. The year 2020 marked a breakthrough in the spread of telework and “home office” work in Hungary, as this form of work was one of the necessary tools in the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic in order to reduce the number of personal contacts. Both employers and the masses of employees were able to experience the pros and cons of this. This period can be therefore considered as the main challenge of teleworking and working from home, which is undoubtedly caused by the COVID-19 epidemic. The research aims to answer the question of the impact of telework on the daily lives of Hungarian workers. In international comparison, the proportion of teleworkers in Hungary was low before the pandemic. As a result, a great many have experienced a drastic transition from traditional work to teleworking. The given questionnaire survey also confirmed that a significant proportion of employees had difficulties with teleworking at the beginning of the transition. These difficulties were mainly due to the fact that they were not technically prepared and that their daily routine, which they had become accustomed to in their traditional work, had been changed.

Low speed operation of sensorless estimators for induction machines using extended, unscented and cubature kalman filter techniques

Krisztian Horvath Denes Fodor

Publication Name: International Conference on Electical Drives and Power Electronics

Publication Date: 2019-09-01

Volume: 2019-September

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 279-285

Description:

In this study, three feasible speed sensorless estimators of induction machines are presented by using extended, unscented and cubature Kalman filter algorithms. The estimators are based on an augmented non-linear state-space model of these machines, which describes the dynamics in stationary reference frame with six state variables. As an important part of the estimator design, an observability study is provided for the nonlinear model and an observability condition is formulated as well. The estimators are compared experimentally around zero stator frequency with respect to the speed estimation performance. However, the estimators are investigated only in open-loop and without external load disturbance.

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

Weaning disrupts intestinal structure and function in piglets and frequently results in post-weaning diarrhea, highlighting the need for effective nutritional alternatives to medicinal feed additives. This study evaluated non-fermented field peas and diets containing different inclusion levels of a fermented pea–wheat ingredient as substitutes for soybean meal in restricted liquid diets for weaned piglets. Fifty-six piglets were assigned to four dietary treatments for 14 days after weaning: non-fermented soybean meal, non-fermented peas, partial inclusion of the fermented pea–wheat ingredient, or full inclusion of the fermented pea–wheat ingredient. Fecal consistency, plasma inflammatory cytokines, small-intestinal morphology, crypt cell proliferation, and intestinal microbiota composition were assessed. Plasma interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α remained low and did not differ among treatments, indicating no measurable systemic inflammatory response. Diets containing the fermented pea–wheat ingredient were associated with differences in early intestinal morphology, particularly villus height on day 4 after weaning. Treatment- and segment-specific variation was also observed in crypt cell proliferation. Microbiota analysis showed differences in community composition among treatments, with diets containing the fermented pea–wheat ingredient associated with a higher relative abundance of lactic acid-producing genera. At the pen level, full inclusion of the fermented pea–wheat ingredient was consistently associated with low fecal scores, whereas partial inclusion was associated with higher fecal scores throughout the study period. Overall, these findings suggest that, under the controlled conditions of this study, diets containing the full inclusion level of the fermented pea–wheat ingredient were associated with indicators of intestinal adaptation and consistently low pen-level fecal scores. Further studies with replicated pen designs, longer-term performance evaluation, and functional analyses are needed before practical recommendations can be made.

Effect of some myostatin (MSTN) variants on live weight and beef traits measured by ultrasound in Charolais candidate breeding bulls

Márton Török Szabolcs Bene Gabriella Holló Károly Tempfli Edit Mikó Tamás Csürhés Ferenc Szabó

Publication Name: Journal of Applied Animal Research

Description:

This study investigated the relationship between some ultrasound measurements, live weight data, and five (F94L, nt267, nt324, nt414 and Q204X) myostatin (MSTN) variants associated with beef production in Charolais cattle. A total of 390 Charolais candidate breeding bulls were weighed at birth (BIW) as well as 205 (CWW) and 400 days (FDW) of age, and ultrasonically measured for ribeye area (REA), fat thickness at rump (FRU), fat thickness at ribeye (FRI) and marbling of the ribeye (MAR) at 400 days of age. The frequency of allele C and A were high in the studied population. The F94L had a significant effect on the FRU and FRI, whereas REA significant differed between homozygous and heterozygous animals on SNP at nt267. MAR of non-mutant animals were significantly (by 04.−05 points) lower than those heterozygous for the F94L. FRI tended to be higher (0.51–0.57 cm) for mutations together nt267 and nt414, or for F94L, nt414 and nt324, but lower (0.47–0.49 cm) for nt267 and nt414 mutations. The results indicating F94L could be use in QTL selection for improving beef quality. The polygenetic effect of different MSTN mutations, as well as the effect of MSTN deficiency, would be worth investigating in the future.

Description:

Tick infestation of songbirds has been extensively studied at global and regional scales but relevant data on birds of prey remain scarce and fragmentary. Raptors are of particular epidemiological relevance because their large size, wide-ranging movements and nesting habits may facilitate long-distance dispersal of ticks, and endophilic tick species (e.g. from prey animals) may even persist in their re-used nests. In this study, we aimed to compensate for the lack of comprehensive data in this context. First, more than 1800 birds of prey were examined at 61 sites in Central and South-Eastern Europe, encompassing both continental and Mediterranean climatic regions. Ticks (n = 839) were obtained from 98 birds representing 13 raptor species from three avian orders. Twelve tick species were identified, the most abundant being Rhipicephalus turanicus, Haemaphysalis concinna and Ixodes ricinus. Several previously unknown tick–host associations were revealed. Molecular-phylogenetic analysis showed that sequences of Ixodes arboricola from Tawny Owls (Strix aluco) clustered separately from other conspecific sequences, raising the possibility that Ixodes strigicola Schulze and Schlottke, 1929 is a valid species. Owls proved to be the most heavily tick-infested, particularly Eurasian Eagle-Owl (Bubo bubo) nestlings. Endophilic and rodent-associated tick species were significantly more common on owls and on bird species nesting in cavities or buildings, whereas diurnal raptors were predominantly infested by generalist and exophilic ticks. These patterns highlight the importance of nesting ecology and prey composition in shaping tick assemblages on raptors. The results provide novel insights into tick–raptor associations, contribute new records of tick species from birds of prey, and improve our understanding of the role of raptors in tick maintenance and dispersal which appears to be particularly important in the case of cavity-nesting species. In addition to field sampling, a comprehensive database from nearly 150 published sources revealed that 32 tick species have been reported from birds of prey in the Western Palearctic to date.

Description:

The knowledge of a vehicle's center of gravity (COG) and moment of inertia (MOI) are important from vehicle dynamic and comfort points of view. These parameters can be determined from the CAD model of the vehicle, however, manufacturing inaccuracies and additional elements can modify the values, and experimental validation can be necessary. The determination of COG (and even MOI) can be carried out using classical physical methods, but a more convenient and sophisticated method is offered based on dynamic testing data. The method is known and accessible even in commercial testing software, but a clear recommendation for the optimal input data and the expected accuracy is still not available. The purpose of this study is to define the influencing factors of the measurement and quantify their effect. The introduced method is based on the evaluation of the frequency response functions in the mass-line region. Input data were obtained by using impulse hammer excitation and accelerometers for measuring the response of the structure. The measurements and the evaluations were performed in Siemens LMS Test.Lab software using Rigid Body Calculator module. The results of the dynamic measurement are compared to CAD data and to the COG value got from simple static measurement.

Description:

During the acoustical characterization of a component of a building, machine or vehicle, the normal incidence sound transmission loss is a major factor. Transmission loss simulation is also crucial in designing intake or exhaust elements, such as reflective mufflers. However, there is not enough information in the open literature about the applicable frequency ranges of experimental and 1- and 3D simulation methods. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the frequency limits of computational and experimental transmission loss analyses of various reflective mufflers. For the validation two in-house impedance tube test benches were designed and multiple measurement setups were investigated. The combination of the four-pole matrix and the two-load methods was used during the experimental part of the study. In order to obtain appropriate transfer function results, distinct setups were evaluated, such as a low-frequency sound source with bigger tube diameter and a high-frequency sound source with smaller tube diameter. The low-frequency setup is suitable for the investigation of the system in the range of 30-500 Hz. The high-frequency setup is capable of measuring from 300 Hz to 2000 Hz, which is the upper frequency limit of the range of interest. Consequently, the in-house system is suitable for measuring the transmission loss in the 30-2000 Hz frequency range. 1D simulations were performed using Ricardo Wave software and 3D simulations were carried out in the STAR-CCM+ software. The upper cutoff frequency of 1D simulation method was determined to be 1500 Hz according to the correlation with the measurements. The frequency range of simulation could be extended up to 2000 Hz by employing 3D simulation for transmission loss calculations. This paper gives insights into the transmission loss measurements with the in-house system and the correlation analysis with different simulation methods.
