  • Students' Perceptions and Acceptance of Lego Robots in Syria
    the journal of interrupted studies 1 (2018) 26-33 brill.com/tjis Students’ Perceptions and Acceptance of lego Robots in Syria Ghaith Mqawass Department of Mechatronics, Tishreen University Lattakia [email protected] Abstract An important recent trend in education has been the integration of different technolo- gies such as digital games, online courses, and educational robots. The development of educational robots such as lego Mindstorms nxt allows students to learn to build their own robots. This paper describes the human-robot interaction (hri) focusing especially on the model lego Mindstorms nxt. A questionnaire among 250 Syrian school and university students was conducted to investigate the different perceptions about lego robots in 2016. The informants were grouped based on their age; partici- pants in the first group were aged between 11 and 18 years while participants in the second between 19 and 24. The current study also focuses on the factors leading to the acceptance of lego robots. Another questionnaire was conducted to highlight what factors determine the degree of acceptance of lego robots by the studied groups. Sig- nificant age and gender effects were found. The results show a noticeable difference between the two age groups, with the younger group tending to accept lego robots more. Furthermore, it was found that male respondents show more positive reactions towards lego robots than females. Keywords lego – Robots – human-robot interaction – Syrian education system i Introduction Because Syria is considered a developing country, the integration of educa- tion and technology is still in its infancy.

  • Influence of Spring River Flow on the Recruitment of Japanese Seaperch Lateolabrax Japonicus Into the Chikugo Estuary, Japan
    RECENT ADVANCES IN THE STUDY OF SCIENTIA MARINA 70S2 FISH EGGS AND LARVAE October 2006, 159-164, Barcelona (Spain) M.P. Olivar and J.J. Govoni (eds.) ISSN: 0214-8358 Influence of spring river flow on the recruitment of Japanese seaperch Lateolabrax japonicus into the Chikugo estuary, Japan JUN SHOJI 1 and MASARU TANAKA 2 1 Takehara Fisheries Research Station, Hiroshima University, Minato-machi 5-8-1, Takehara, Hiroshima 725-0024, Japan. E-mail: [email protected] 2 Laboratory of Estuarine Ecology, Centre for Education and Research of Field Science, Kyoto University, Sakyo, Kyoto 606-8502, Japan. SUMMARY: The estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM) zone is considered to serve as a predation refuge for fish during the early life stages due to the high turbidity and high prey concentration. River flow can be one of the important determinants for survival of early life stages of estuarine dependent fish because it affects both the physical and biological properties of the ETM. We tested the hypothesis that fluctuation of river flow explains the variability in recruitment of Japanese seaperch Lateolabrax japonicus around the ETM region of the Chikugo River estuary, upper Ariake Bay, Japan. Japanese seaperch recruitment showed a 43.3-fold fluctuation from 1990 to 2000 and was inversely correlated with the mean daily river flow of the Chikugo River in March. The recruitment was high and variable in years of low March river flow and was poor in years of high March river flow. We conclude that high river flow potentially decreases Japanese seaperch recruitment in the Chikugo River estuary by blocking the larval migration into the river and by increasing the probability of larval dispersion to the downriver/upper bay areas, where potential predators (jellyfish and Sagitta spp.) were more abundant, and prey (Sinocalanus sinensis) availability and turbidity were lower.

Akinyede (Executive Director) African Regional Centre for Space Science and Technology Education in English (ARCSSTE-E), Obafemi Awolowo University Campus, Ile-Ife, Nigeria Paper Presented at the COMMITTEE ON THE PEACEFUL USES OF OUTER SPACE Scientific and Technical Subcommittee , Forty-ninth session Vienna, Austria 6 - 17 February, 2012 Presentation Outline • Introduction • Postgraduate Diploma (PGD) Programme • Research and Development (R & D ) Activities • Space Education Outreach Programme • Benefits/Spin Offs From The Capacity Building Programme • Conclusions 2 1. Introduction • Benefits of space science and technology (SST) are quite tangible and cannot be over-emphasized. • Space science and technology development and applications have grown rapidly and become the key to the prosperity and security of nations. • Rapid achievement of sustainable economic and social development now depends on sound education and research in the development and/or applications of SST • To assist the developing countries to benefit from the emerging and fast growing technology, the second United Nations Conference on Exploration and Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNISPACE II), held in 1982 in Vienna, Austria, recommended that the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), through its Programme on Space Applications, should focus its attention, inter alia, on the building of indigenous capacities for the development and utilization of SST. • Consequently, this recommendation was endorsed by the United Nations General Assembly (GA) in its resolution 37/90 of 10th December 1982. 3 Introduction continued The United Nations General Assembly, in its resolution 45/72 of 11 December 1990 endorsed the recommendation of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space that "..
