The spate of hacking incidents, more especially the ransomware infections, recently has suggested a more robust approach to web application security during RE. This will not only prevent these vulnerabilities but also the necessary rework after a hacking incident. The prioritisation process in RE is instrumental in ensuring if a security requirement gets implemented or is kept on hold indefinitely. A desktop literature review revealed ample scope for fuzzy TOPSIS as a security requirements prioritisation technique. The aim of this research study was to assess the viability of a new and more inclusive technique of more precisely ranking security requirements. A fuzzy automated tool was developed to test this new approach to ranking security requirements. The method will ensure the implementation of the most important security requirements to secure the system. The Design Science Research Methodology guided the development of the automated fuzzy software tool. The automated tool was evaluated in a qualitative study at 17 software development companies. The researcher used structured interviews and document reviews as the primary research instruments. Qualitative data was analyzed deductively using content analysis. It was found that an immediate benefit of the tool is that it prevented biases and autocratic leaders from influencing decision making during security risk analysis. The study concluded that the automated fuzzy tool showed positive results for ranking security requirements in Agile RE. Further research on the usability of the software tool is recommended.","PeriodicalId":269540,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research","volume":"10 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":"115361883","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}

This may lead to a reduction in the use of non-renewable energy sources (such as coal), increasing the lifespan of current energy storage systems (such as batteries) and reducing financial costs (such as electrical utility costs). Current commercial monitoring systems may prove too complex or too expensive for the average homeowner to install and use. How can the internet of things, therefore, be used to identify sources of energy consumption? The purpose of this paper is to describe the design and setup of a non-complex cost-effective energy monitoring system for a residential home environment. This may enable homeowners to identify unwanted energy consumption and thereby reduce their electrical utility bills. The system incorporates an Arduino Uno Board, ESP8266 WiFi module and a cloud server called ThingSpeak. No physical wiring connections are needed, as only a current transformer sensor needs to be hooked around the main AC supply line from the electrical utility provider. No PC data storage is required, as the data is stored on the cloud server. The only key requirement is internet connectivity so that the WiFi module may connect directly to the cloud server where all data is captured and presented.","PeriodicalId":269540,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research","volume":"41 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":"126788531","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 industrialisation of the industry continues to impact all stakeholders throughout the world. Competition is rife in terms of value-add, quality, delivery dates and cost. Many of the manufacturers continue to operate without any kind of strategy to improve current conditions. Market share is being transferred outside the boundaries of the country. The retail industry maintained its impetus in terms of supply to the ultimate customer but the sourcing of finished products moved towards the east primarily due to cost competitiveness. In order to improve the current status, 5S principles may be implemented as a competitive strategy. This simple re-organisation of the workplace would significantly improve ergonomics in its totality, thereby creating an environment that is conducive for productive machine operation. It may be used as a competitive strategy that would cultivate strength in manufacturing capabilities. This paper evaluates current paradigms and implements 5S principles as a means of improvement through a case study in one organisation. Data regarding certain aspects were gathered from 45 clothing manufactures in the Kwa-Zulu Natal area.","PeriodicalId":269540,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research","volume":"12 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":"126934227","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 Central University of Technology in South Africa has followed suit by stipulating 10 graduate attributes that academics need to cover in their curricula. It is important that engineering students be able to identify and understand these graduate attributes, as they need to demonstrate them through their entire educational career. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate which graduate attributes senior engineering students can easily identify based on their understanding of the definition. A questionnaire was used as the data-collection instrument in a descriptive case study. Senior engineering students could easily identify 8 of the 10 graduate attributes that has a word that can be linked to the definition. The graduate attribute “communication” was identified by 92% of the students while 66% identified “entrepreneurship”. However, the majority of students struggled to identify two graduate attributes, which are numeracy (6% identified it) and technical and conceptual competence (40% identified it). A possible reason for this could be that there are no words in the definition that may be linked to the name of the attribute. It is therefore recommended that all graduate attributes be defined is such a way that a synonym or antonym of the attribute be used in the actual definition. This may assist students to better identify and understand vital graduate attributes that they need to acquire before entering Industry.","PeriodicalId":269540,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research","volume":"12 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120997529","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}

There are many factors involved with that, one of them is a sense of happiness among students. And, the other one is self- esteem of students. So, the purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between contingencies of self-worth and happiness with academic achievement in male students of second high school. The research method was descriptive and correlations study. The statistical population of research consisted of all the male students of second high school Shahriyar City, Iran (3800 people). First of all, according to Morgan’s suggested table, 340 students were selected by multistage cluster random sampling from this population. Second, all participants were asked to complete contingencies of self-worth tests of Crocker et al., and Oxford Happiness Questionnaire. The final academic semester GPA was considered as a measure of academic achievement. Then, the data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson's correlation coefficient and regression analyses. The results of Pearson correlation revealed that there were significant relation between the contingencies of self -worth and happiness with academic achievement. And, the correlation between happiness and contingencies of self- worth were negative and significant. In general, the result of regression analysis indicated that happiness is the best predicator of academic achievement. Educational specialists should pay attention to psychological variables along with formal education.","PeriodicalId":269540,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research","volume":"43 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":"124949159","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 identification and evaluation of teacher's key professional competences is of particular interest for the team of researchers at Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra (Slovakia) within the research project APVV-14-0446 Assessment of teacher's competences, the output of which should be a new concept of the assessment of teacher's professional competences and the design of a relevant set of assessment tools. The intention of the research team is to encourage teachers' evaluators to use more reflective approach to this task in order to ensure deeper feedback for teachers on their performance. The project started in 2015 and is still in progress. So far the team has managed to agree on 10 professional competences of teacher, which they consider to be the key ones for the high quality performance of teachers. Then, a new stratified approach to their assessment was developed, and for each of the competences, a set of assessment instruments: Assessment Sheets for evaluators, Self -Assessment Sheets for the evaluated teachers and instructions for Post-Observation Interview of the evaluator with the teacher, was designed. The instruments are currently being piloted in schools. The paper deals with partial results of the piloting of the three tools designed to assess the teacher's competence: can develop pupil's personality and their competences. The piloted tools will be introduced in more details and the issues connected with their acceptance and use by school staff and managers will be discussed.","PeriodicalId":269540,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research","volume":"5 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":"127149380","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}

Also across resource-constraint countries digital health applications are becoming more prevalent. To establish a resilient national or district Digital Health Ecosystem, not only a holistic strategy – based on health policy priorities – is mandatory, but it must also be followed by a realistic roadmap and its comprehensive implementation,taking into account the success factors needed for its long-term sustainability and growth.A key challenge in this context is that deployed eHealth systems are usually in silos, such that no system or application is integrated with another. It is the missing interoperability of the many siloed systems which constitutes a core barrier towards reaping greater benefits from digital health. To successfully transform the provision of quality healthcare services it is mandatory to put into place an open digital health platform that comprehensively integrates eHealth services across all healthcare facilities in a timely, efficient and seamless manner. The open platform concept and its technical approach are developed, and core elements and aspects are critically explored. A constituent complement of such an open approach is a detailed interoperability framework which must be adhered to by all services and applications coordinated via the platform. The key question in this context of how to determine interoperability requirements is briefly discussed. This is complemented by identifying leading open source eHealth software products available and being applied in emerging market and developing economies around the world.Digital health is different from almost any other sector. By identifying the challenges encountered in healthcare the discussion reviews how the open platform approach helps to overcome these barriers, and identifies important pitfalls to be avoided.","PeriodicalId":269540,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research","volume":"30 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":"126946967","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}
