The ultra-high frequency (UHF) band, traditionally reserved for TV broadcasters, in particular, has garnered interest, due to the fact that studies have consistently shown that the spectrum in this band is heavily under-utilized. However, in order to study the true availability of the spectrum and analyze potential scenarios for opportunistic use, it is necessary to have an accurate propagation model for the channel. This paper, derives such a model by using country-wide experimental spectrum measurements conducted in the territory of Kosovo, to optimize the parameters of known propagation models shown to fit the geographical terrain of Kosovo. The model is extended to encompass urban, suburban and rural environments. The model is verified against an additional set of experimental measurement data and shows a high level of accuracy.","PeriodicalId":437575,"journal":{"name":"2020 43rd International Convention on Information, Communication and Electronic Technology (MIPRO)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132901630","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}

Stereotypes, cultural barriers, lack of confidence, lack of knowledge of career opportunities, and lack of vision of possibilities are more than enough reasons for students who do not pursue university studies in areas of Engineering or drop out University. The Professional School of Software Engineering at Universidad Nacional de San Agustín de Arequipa was not the exception to this reality. To make an impact and change our reality, the authors started a “Students Role Model Program”. The objective was to create a community of female students that became role models who share their motivation to STEM with new female students and to take active participation in the recruitment process. The main activities were divided into two branches: a) Exposure to role-models at the student level and b) Participation in the international community Django Girls. We believe that the main contribution of this work is to show the structure of our program which can be replicated in different engineering majors that seek to improve the retention of their female students.","PeriodicalId":437575,"journal":{"name":"2020 43rd International Convention on Information, Communication and Electronic Technology (MIPRO)","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133178281","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 paper an example of such practice is explained in the ITIL framework. The purpose of the SWOT analysis is to identify strategies that match the resources and capabilities of the company with the needs of the environment in which it competes. The purpose of this analysis is to use the company advantages, to explore its capabilities, to correct weaknesses, and to counteract the threats of the environment. The aim of the paper is to demonstrate the benefits of SWOT analysis with companies with the implemented ITIL framework, which is mainly reflected in simplicity, flexibility, low cost, but with tremendous efficiency, good estimates, and finding negativity and positivism in business.","PeriodicalId":437575,"journal":{"name":"2020 43rd International Convention on Information, Communication and Electronic Technology (MIPRO)","volume":"2016 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133249103","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}

Students must adopt different concepts, methods, and tools that improve both - their analytic and intuitive decision making. One of the most used decision-making methods is the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Students must know how to recognize that a specific problem requires AHP analysis and to apply it correctly. This study presents the implementation of AHP education using the Workshop activity supported by the learning management system Moodle. In the first part of this activity, the students have to make a paper of AHP analysis of one real strategic or tactical problem related to any organization they choose: they have to structure the problem using the structuring methods, collect pairwise comparisons from decision-makers, calculate the group priorities and make the sensitivity analysis. In the second part of the activity, the students do peer assessment – they evaluate other students’ projects using the rubrics and qualitative assessment. The analysis reveals better results in understanding the AHP when compared to traditional ways of learning (direct assessment of papers by teachers without peer assessment). The different ways of learning are evaluated by comparing the points achieved for the AHP papers, points achieved for the AHP test, and using a short survey – all of them are implemented in Moodle as well.","PeriodicalId":437575,"journal":{"name":"2020 43rd International Convention on Information, Communication and Electronic Technology (MIPRO)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127844527","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}

Some attributes of this dataset are, gender, age, employment status, crime place. Methods are applied on these data to determine their effectiveness in analyzing and preventing crime. Evaluations on the data showed that the method with a higher performance is “Decision Tree”. This was achieved by some performance measures, such as the number of instances correctly classified, accuracy or precision and recall, that has brought better results compared to other methods.
