To improve upon the existing U-Net, we proposed a novel architecture called Multi-Scale Dilated Fusion Network (MSDFNet). In this work, we have used the pre-trained ResNet50 as the encoder, which had already learned features that can be used by the decoder to generate the binary mask. In addition, we used skip-connections to directly facilitate the transfer of features from the encoder to the decoder. Some of these features are lost due to the depth of the network. The decoder consists of a Multi-Scale Dilated Fusion block, as the main components of the decoder, where we fused the multiscale features and then applied some dilated convolution upon them. We have trained both the U-Net and the proposed architecture on the Ksavir-Instrument dataset, where the proposed architecture has a 3.701 % gain in the F1 score and 4.376 % in the Jaccard. These results show the improvement over the existing U-Net model.","PeriodicalId":417206,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computer Science and Technology Studies","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116115724","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}

With growing worries about OS security, Linux has become well-known among OS users for its security and efficiency. This paper manages two of the principal common types of operating systems (Linux, Windows) with the significance of the operating system in any device and, moreover, to direct the study over Linux and Windows. We've compared various characteristics concerning Windows and Linux that are utilized in various researches and directed a survey for this reason. The results of the survey related to Windows and Linux are analyzed. The findings indicate that Linux is more preferred when concerned with security, whereas Windows is preferred when user-friendliness is concerned.","PeriodicalId":417206,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computer Science and Technology Studies","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128058227","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 majority of learning institution stakeholders, particularly professors and students, have cell phones and computers as well as active social media profiles. The rising use of social media, combined with the need to engage with people all over the world, is making it difficult to integrate social media into learning in a way that will complement the formal learning that takes place in educational institutions. This integration is especially important at stressful and difficult times, such as the Covid-19 period, which saw learning come to a halt for more than six months. As a result, the goal of this study was to look into social media integration in collaborative learning, which allows students to share learning content with others and tutors all over the world. The constructivism idea underpins this research. According to the article, social media plays a vital role in learning since it allows students to improve collaborative learning in the aforementioned scenarios.

The Digital Era has started, and many sectors, including healthcare, are adapting to the innovative human-machine integration that has developed. However, the new systems still offer benefits and limits that will influence certain nations' choice to accept this platform owing to their unique requirements and circumstances. The earliest electronic health records were developed in the early 1960s to store long-term patient data. However, it was not maintained since the system's foundation is very demanding, and medical practitioners stopped utilizing it. After a decade, the growth of technology was unavoidable, gradually altering areas such as business and healthcare. However, every development has ramifications. The implementation of the new system may enhance organizational performance, but there are still uncertainties, notably about sustainability and how it will affect the firm in the future. Now, sufficient medical documentation has long been a source of contention in the healthcare industry, and management should begin introducing new processes to address the underlying problem. If the government already has a system in place to ensure the country's long-term existence, this system should be used to ensure the consistency of each patient's medical records.

However, getting the optimal value using fast computation with minimal error is still challenging. This paper aims to design, simulate, and implement a second-order Buck-Boost DC-DC converter circuit so that the voltage result according to the desired set point can be achieved. Initially, testing is conducted using Matlab Simulink. Then, Proteus is used to test the computation of the program on embedded systems in which the result is implemented in C. In low voltage power electronics applications, this approach has never been used to determine the output form. To determine the value of Kp, Ki, dan Kd, PID, Ziger Nichos (Guo, 2002). method is used. Meanwhile, tuning is done through Matlab. For simulation on Proteus, the output is tested by setting the setpoint values of 3.0, 2.5, and 1.7 volts. This aims to see the pattern of changes in the simulation. The simulation results with Proteus show that they have similar peak values but with different overshoot values. This is because the simulation must pass the reference voltage before it drops to the desired setpoint value. Proteus simulation can also help to prove embedded system programs are running correctly. On the other hand, the value of 1.7 volts is used as a setpoint in device implementation. This is due to the determination that the setpoint voltage in the implementation does not exceed the value of the source/power supply. The results show that for the rise time value of 378,770 ms, Overshoot and settling time are 11.798% and 0, respectively. This means the result produces an optimal value which is a return to the initial target. The optimal factor is assessed from the ability to minimize existing errors as well as having the shortest possible computational process.","PeriodicalId":417206,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computer Science and Technology Studies","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129196641","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}

However, what is often a problem is that the RPS input is still using Microsoft Excel, so that it is not well documented, and the RPS made are not following the material given by the lecturer. Because of these problems, in this study, a web-based RPS adjustment information system will be designed and built using the Laravel framework that can assist the study program in documenting the RPS and knowing the suitability of the material provided by the lecturer's predetermined RPS.
