Special fraud is the general term for crimes of obtaining money, etc. By the means of transfer of money to a deposit account, fraudulence of a cash card, or any other method, using a telephone or other communication means, by impersonating a relative, etc., to an unspecified target person who is not particularly acquainted. Victims are given a lot of information to prevent financial damage. However, many people still has been deceived easily. I examined how people become victims of special fraud. Therefore, in this paper, we analyzed the attitude change of victims from actual examples. Then, we analyze, our scope is kind of decision making process could prevent special fraud.","PeriodicalId":188870,"journal":{"name":"2020 9th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123355324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, irreducible probabilistic fluctuations of academic scores are analyzed by using the placement test and term examinations. As a result, we have noticed the magnitude of irreducible probabilistic fluctuations. Next, we have compared the score distributions of the three testing scores in equally split classes using the placement test scores. In testings in this paper, unlike the ordinary testing style of the description type in mathematics subjects, the multiple choice type testings were performed. Then, we have found two important things. One is that we can eliminate teacher’s evaluation biases. The other is that the student’s academic growth could be seen more clearly using the multiple choice type testing than using the description type testing. In addition, we have proposed a fundamental equation on student’s ability including irreducible probabilistic fluctuations.","PeriodicalId":188870,"journal":{"name":"2020 9th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129870059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this research, we set out a method of assessing economic activity in real time by focusing on this kind of high-frequency electricity demand data. Concretely, we estimate factors which means the pattern of the electric demand based on principal component analysis (PCA) for the electricity demand data, and build the regularized regression models in order to estimate the economic activity by using the PCA factors. In Japan, the official statistics on the production activities of the manufacturing industry is Industrial Production Index released by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Based on the proposed method, it is possible to estimate the manufacturing activity about one month earlier than the publication day of the official statistic. Furthermore, we confirmed that the estimation of the Industrial Production Index based on our method can achieve higher forecast accuracy than the market forecast average.","PeriodicalId":188870,"journal":{"name":"2020 9th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133027092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our model, we represent Kansei transition by time-series change of media content as waveforms. We realize new Kansei similarity by comparison with Kansei transitions represented by waveforms applying a signal processing technique. Through new Kansei similarity, it is possible to realize media content retrieval and recommendation systems corresponding to the time-series Kansei transition of media content. Our model consists of two modules: a high-order media-Kansei transformation module and a waveform similarity computation module. The high-order media-Kansei transformation module extracts each Kansei magnitude by each time from the features of media content. The waveform similarity computation module computes similarities between each waveform represented as Kansei transition.","PeriodicalId":188870,"journal":{"name":"2020 9th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129742225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a preliminary step towards the application of grit in institutional research (IR), this study longitudinally analyzes the impact of individual differences regarding level of grit on results in teacher recruitment examinations. In this study, undergraduate students at a Japanese teacher-training university (N = 629) responded to a questionnaire survey. The results showed that students with higher grit were more likely to take the teacher recruitment exam, and also to pass the second part of this exam. This effect persisted even after controlling for self-control, a noncognitive skill that is strongly associated with goal achievement. It was also found that perseverance of effort and consistency of interest, which are subfactors of grit, had differing effects on the results of teacher recruitment exams respectively: while consistency of interest had an effect on the probability of taking the teacher recruitment exam, perseverance of effort had an effect on the probability of passing the second part of the exam. We concluded that consideration of grit can help teacher-training universities resolve the issue of producing high numbers of high-quality teachers.","PeriodicalId":188870,"journal":{"name":"2020 9th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114520464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to ensure the quality of such higher education, it is necessary to properly train and utilize teaching assistants (TAs). The University of Tokyo, a national Japanese university, also provides a first-year experience program called the \"First-Year Seminar.\" This program started in 2015, aiming to promote problem finding and solving skills through the utilization of TAs who are required to engage students in the program. However, the causal structure of how TAs effectively work in class has not been confirmed. The purpose of this study is to verify the causal model from the perspective of educational practice using data from student evaluations of teaching. The training of TAs underwent radical reform in 2017. The multi-group mediation analysis between pre- and post-TA training reform showed that the specific and appropriate support actions of the TA affect students and teachers, thereby affecting the students’ overall lecture satisfaction. The author found that TAs who did not give enough specific learning support and knowledge can have a significantly negative effect on students, faculty, and lecture satisfaction. Furthermore, the author showed the educational effects of TA development not only in selfevaluation by TAs but in the supportive relationships among faculty, students, and TAs. The results of this study demonstrate the structure of how TAs work towards their goal of supporting classes.","PeriodicalId":188870,"journal":{"name":"2020 9th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"119 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133587085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
