Such stress can be activated by environment or daily activities especially at the primary school. Children must adapt themselves to learn new subjects and contents along with difficult assignments that could lead to an occurrence of stress in children. When stress occurs, the body releases cortisol which negatively affect the cortex (involves in learning and thinking processes) and hippocampus (involved in the development of intelligence and emotion). This research thus aims to develop a wearable device to measure stress levels in children. This would assist parents and teachers to notice a change in stress during children’ study or performing any activities. To estimate stress levels, we processed the pulse rate variability (PRV) which extracted from photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals. We employed the optical reflection sensors to obtain the PPG signals on the wrist area. The ESP32 microcontroller was programmed to acquire and process such PPG signals. Quantitative stress levels were then calculated from the average distinct frequency (fd) of the PRV in the range of 0.04 – 0.15 Hz which reflects by the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems when perceived stress. In our experiments, we conducted the standard trier social stress test whereby cognitive stress periods (an arithmetic test) and a relax period were performed while wearing our device. We then calculated fd in a particular period of 10 healthy participants. It was found that stress levels can be divided into 4 groups based on a calculation of fd ratio (%): (i) no stressor 0 – 25%, (ii) low stress or 25 - 50%, (iii) moderate stress or 50 - 75% and (iv) high stress or 75 - 100%. These results indicate a potential to monitor stress in children during learning activities efficiently and would possibly enable a self-awareness for coping stress in children.","PeriodicalId":352596,"journal":{"name":"2021 2nd Information Communication Technologies Conference (ICTC)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121185298","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 the proposed method, the directions of arrival (DOAs) of the received signals is estimated by using the matrix pencil (MP) algorithm, and the line-of-sight (LOS) component is obtained by applying beamforming. Furthermore, two different carrier signals are employed to estimate the time of arrival (TOA) and mitigate the TOA ambiguity.

It has aroused significant attentions in both industry and academia. Most existing few-shot learning methods focus on image classification, only few works focus on few-shot video classification. For few-shot video classification problem, obtaining temporal features and designing a good distance measurement are two main challenges. In this work, we address these challenges by proposing a Sparse-Transformer Based Siamese Network termed as TBSN for few-shot action recognition which can lever-age the relative relationship and importance of frames to mine temporal characteristics of video. A relation module based on alignment and feedforward network is designed to learn a good distance measurement. In TBSN, we propose two novel modules: (1) an embedding module based on Sparse-Transformer for fusing information from different video clips to effectively capture temporal information of frames, and (2) a relation module based on alignment and feedforward network, which can discover subtle differences between samples. We conduct extensive experiments on two challenging real-world dataset(UCF101 and Kinetics 400) and compared with other state-of-the-art methods, the results demonstrate its superior performance.","PeriodicalId":352596,"journal":{"name":"2021 2nd Information Communication Technologies Conference (ICTC)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131121974","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}

Especially at the beginning of the curriculum, the mind map introduces the course content, reviews the course system at the end stage, and guides as the roadmap for each classroom teaching lesson. There are different buckling concepts in the course, which are difficult to understand for the students, so the finite element method’s simulation videos and figures are applied to help students clarify the differences in buckling problems. Simulation of finite element method is adopted into classroom teaching, assignment and experiments. The use of finite element simulation can verify teaching content and critical knowledge points while avoiding the simple derivation of theories and formulas. Meanwhile, the finite element simulation in assignments and experiments can verify manual calculation results and experimental results.
