The set of data corpora includes: one collected by a crowdsourcing platform, essays of Russian students (RusPersonality), Gender Imitation corpus, and the corpora used at Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation 2017 (FIRE), containing texts from Facebook, Twitter and Reviews. We present the analysis of numerical experiments based on different features(morphological data, vector of character n-gram frequencies, LIWC and others) of input texts along with various machine learning models (neural networks, gradient boosting methods, CNN, LSTM, SVM, Logistic Regression, Random Forest). Results of these experiments are compared with the results of FIRE competition to evaluate effects of multi-genre training. The presented results, obtained on a wide set of data-driven models, establish the accuracy level for the task to identify gender of a author of a Russian text in the multi-genre case. As shown, an average loss in F1 because of training on a set of genre other than the one used to test is about 11.7%.","PeriodicalId":269540,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126882282","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}

The study area consisted of heterogeneous vehicle composition; typically combined with high proportion of motorcycles and three-wheelers which are poor in adhering to road rules that could commonly see in most of the South Asian developing countries. Although heavy investments are utilized in road improvement projects in these countries, the outcomes gained often seems to be unsatisfactory. The intent of this study was to find out the reasons for this unsatisfactory outcomes of the investments spent on road improvement projects and look into possible measures to overcome these unsatisfactory outcomes. The study was conducted in two parts; (i) road user behaviour study, and (ii) field consultation study. Through the road user behaviour study the undesirable practices of all road users such as; passenger vehicles, motorcycles, three-wheelers, buses, trucks, pedestrians and excessive noise were directly identified. It was seen from the consultation study results the varied expectations of different categories of road stake holders’ were different from category to category and biased towards their advantage. Finally through this study it was observed that the maximum benefits expected from investing on road improvement projects are not fully realized when poor road user practices are being adopted by the stake holders’.","PeriodicalId":269540,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134313755","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}

Mhagama","doi":"10.26803/myres.2018.17","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26803/myres.2018.17","url":null,"abstract":"This article examines how radio listening clubs (RLCs) established by community radio stations in Malawi help to expand ordinary people’s capabilities. The RLCs provide a platform for ordinary people to assemble to listen to a designated radio programme, discuss the content for its merit and then decide how best to use the information to improve their livelihoods. The programmes are produced in such a way that they raise pertinent issues faced in the community and offer listeners suggested solutions to overcome those problems. The findings discussed in the paper are based on data collected through focus group discussion with members of RLCs of Nkhotakota community radio, semi-structured interviews with its deputy station manager and other key informants, and participant observation of what goes on in the radio station. The article argues that the RLC has potential to expand the capabilities of ordinary people because the information they receive, share and discuss empowers them to make informed decisions and to be knowledgeable. By providing a forum for the discussion of issues affecting ordinary people, this articleconcludes that RLCs can help to raise people’s awareness to existing problems and influencing them to do something about their situation. In this way, RLCs can help expand ordinary people’s capabilities to achieve a life that they value.","PeriodicalId":269540,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133770634","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}

The investigation forms part of a longitudinal study investigating the e-visibility of the environmental science researchers at the University of South Africa during December 2014 and December 2016. The bibliometric indicators from Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar, and altmetric indicator data from ResearchGate were collected in six (6) month intervals, and analysed using SPSS to determine the Pearson’s rank correlations. The results indicated a positive correlation between the bibliometric indicators derived from Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar, and the altmetric indicators derived from the academic social networking tool ResearchGate. The results show that ResearchGate altimetric indicators influence the bibliometric indicators positively. ResearchGate therefore can be recommended for academic social networking as a strategy to influence the Environmental Science researcher’s citations positively at Unisa.","PeriodicalId":269540,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116290587","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}

A descriptive cross-sectional survey design was used in which 82 head teachers and 1024 teachers were selected using multistage sampling. Survey, interview, observation and document analysis methods were used to collect data. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis and ordered logistic regression, while content analysis was used to analyze qualitative data. The findings suggest that availability and utilization of instructional resources significantly contribute to teacher effectiveness although instructional resources are inadequate and not properly utilized. To enhance teacher effectiveness, the Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES) should continuously train teachers on use and improvising of instructional resources. Government should construct more libraries and science laboratories especially for Universal Secondary Education [USE] schools to promote easy accessibility of textbooks by learners and teachers and practical teaching of science subjects.","PeriodicalId":269540,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123644496","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}
