The aim of research is to determine whether there is a correlation between math anxiety and the performance of elementary school students in solving mathematical problems at the second level. . The theoretical part of the thesis contains information and empirical findings about math anxiety and solving mathematical problems. The research sample was comprised of 138 (46,38 % girls and 53,62 % boys) 9th grade elementary learners from Slovak republic. The data were collected by the questionnaire of our own design comprising: the modified abbreviated math anxiety scale, the state-trait anxiety inventory, and the math test. Quantitative data analysis methods included descriptive statistics and Spearman coefficient as a measurement of correlation between variables. The results have revealed that mathematics anxiety has significant correlation (R = - 0.401; p = 1,09216.10-6, p < 0.01) with the success of mathematical problems and significant correlation (R = 0.608; p = 2,44249.10-15, p < 0.01) with the mathematics achievement. 36,23 % of the participants reported high math anxiety, and a further 18% were at least somewhat affected by it. The results confirm that the mAMAS questionnaire is an appropriate tool for determining the level of mathematical anxiety among pupils in Slovakia.","PeriodicalId":515899,"journal":{"name":"TEM Journal","volume":"33 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140424587","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}

Production line innovations using Lean methods are currently one of the most important ways to change the shape of the production line in a positive direction. Emphasis must be placed on the resulting innovation and the form of the production line, which should be as efficient and functional as possible and meet the required parameters of productivity and quality assurance. The primary goal of production line innovations using Lean methods is the elimination of bottlenecks in the production process that do not add value and the balancing of individual assembly stations. The aim of the contribution was to design a semi-automatic line for the completion and testing of seat locks under the name D3P2. The result of the solution is the creation of a robotic workplace that will ensure a higher production capacity and the related packaging of finished products. On the assembly line, an analysis of line balancing was carried out using the Yamazumi graph to eliminate unnecessary assembly process activities, Cycle time and Tact time. An analysis of the measurements of individual production activities and places was carried out on the line, and the proposal for a new production line was subsequently shared. Its main goal was to meet all customer requirements through high flexibility. The result of the analysis and applied measures was a reduction in the cycle time of the new line, balancing of individual posts and economic benefits.","PeriodicalId":515899,"journal":{"name":"TEM Journal","volume":"21 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140424789","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}

Understanding the factors that influence the death of stroke patients is vital to improving patient care and outcomes. In this study, we used stroke patient data and machine learning techniques using a variety of algorithms, including Extreme Gradient Boosting, CatBoost, Extra Tree, Decision Tree, and Random Forest, to predict patient death after stroke. After performing hyperparameter settings, the XGBoost model achieved an accuracy of 86% with an AUC of 87. Significant improvements in the accuracy and predictive capability of this model after hyperparameter settings indicate a strong potential for clinical applications. In addition, our findings suggest that factors such as the patient's age, type of stroke, and blood pressure at the time of hospitalization have a significant impact on stroke patients' deaths. By understanding these factors, healthcare providers can improve patient intervention and management to reduce the risk of death after stroke. This research has made an important contribution to the development of a system for predicting the risk of death of stroke patients, which can help doctors and nurses identify high-risk patients and provide appropriate treatment.","PeriodicalId":515899,"journal":{"name":"TEM Journal","volume":"15 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140425231","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}

Employing a 22-item questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale and a semi-structured interview with the participants of 175 university students, the study aims to explore students' acceptance of using Kahoot! for warm-up activities. The survey questionnaire was created using the technology acceptance model (TAM) as the fundamental framework to investigate students' acceptance of using Kahoot! for warm-up activities. Results indicate that participating students highly appreciated and were satisfied with the use of Kahoot! for warm-up activities because of its pedagogical benefits.

This interest stems from the recognition's relevance in various real-life applications, including reading financial checks and official documents, which has remained a persistent obstacle. To address this challenge, researchers have developed numerous algorithms focusing on recognizing handwritten digits across different human languages. This paper presents a new Kurdish Handwritten dataset, consisting of Kurdish characters, digits, texts, and symbols. The dataset consists of 1560 participants, encompassing a broad and varied group. It serves as the primary dataset for training and evaluating algorithms in Kurdish digit recognition. We used Kurdish dataset named (KurdSet) and Arabic dataset for handwritten recognition, which holds 70,000 images of Arabic digits that were written by 700 various participants. Additionally, various models are utilized in the study, including ResNet50, DenseNet121, MobileNet, and a custom CNN (convolutional neural network). Additionally, the models' effectiveness was assessed through the examination of test accuracy, which measures the percentage of correctly classified digits in the evaluation phase.
