Thus, all contributors to society, whether young or old members, can use these mobileapps. The use of these apps eases our daily lives, and all customers who need any type of service can accessit easily, comfortably, and efficiently through mobile apps. Particularly, Saudi Arabia greatly depends on digitalservices to assist people and visitors. Such mobile devices are used in organizing daily work schedules and services,particularly during two large occasions, Umrah and Hajj. However, pilgrims encounter mobile app issues such asslowness, conflict, unreliability, or user-unfriendliness. Pilgrims comment on these issues on mobile app platformsthrough reviews of their experiences with these digital services. Scholars have made several attempts to solve suchmobile issues by reporting bugs or non-functional requirements by utilizing user comments.However, solving suchissues is a great challenge, and the issues still exist. Therefore, this study aims to propose a hybrid deep learningmodel to classify and predict mobile app software issues encountered by millions of pilgrims during the Hajj andUmrah periods from the user perspective. Firstly, a dataset was constructed using user-generated comments fromrelevant mobile apps using natural language processing methods, including information extraction, the annotationprocess, and pre-processing steps, considering a multi-class classification problem. Then, several experimentswere conducted using common machine learning classifiers, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Long Short-TermMemory (LSTM), and Convolutional Neural Network Long Short-Term Memory (CNN-LSTM) architectures, toexamine the performance of the proposed model. Results show 96% in F1-score and accuracy, and the proposedmodel outperformed the mentioned models.展开更多

This study aimed to enhance user security to create a safe online environment by eliminating hate speech and abusive language. The proposed system employed a multifaceted approach to comment filtering, incorporating the multi-level filter theory. This involved developing a comprehensive list of words representing various types of offensive language, from slang to explicit abuse. Machine learning models were trained to identify abusive messages through sentiment analysis and contextual understanding. The system categorized comments as positive, negative, or abusive using sentiment analysis algorithms. Employing AI technology, it created a dynamic filtering mechanism that adapted to evolving online language and abusive behavior. Integrated with Instagram while adhering to ethical data collection principles, the platform sought to promote a clean and positive user experience, encouraging users to focus on non-abusive communication. Our machine-learned models, trained on a cleaned Arabic language dataset, demonstrated promising accuracy (75.8%) in classifying Arabic comments, potentially reducing abusive content significantly. This advancement aimed to provide users with a clean and positive online experience.展开更多

Bukhansan National Park is Korea's most heavily visited national park with annual visitation of six million visitors in 2015. Data used in this article were collected on-site in the park in 2007 and 2013 by the Korea National Park Service(KNPS).The study variables included socio-demographics,travel behavior, motivation, and satisfaction with park attributes, services and facilities. Data were analyzed by each study year for first-time and repeat visitors.Results showed significant differences for both firsttime and repeat visitors on several socio-demographic,travel behavior, and motivation variables within each study year. For satisfaction with park attributes,facilities and services, first-time visitors were significantly different from repeat visitors on seven variables for both years. Implications are given regarding programs and services to improve visitor satisfaction and sustain the natural, cultural and historical resources at Bukhansan National Park and other national parks in Korea. Future research suggestions are provided to learn more about visitor characteristics, standards of quality and preferences in the national parks.展开更多

We also perform multi fold robot session labeling to improve the performance of learner. We conduct a comparative study for various ensemble methods (Bagging, Boosting, and Voting) with simple classifiers in perspective of classification. We also evaluate the effectiveness of these classifiers (both ensemble and simple) on five different data sets of varying session length. Presently the results of web server log analyzers are not very much reliable because the input log files are highly inflated by sessions of automated web traverse software’s, known as web robots. Presence of web robots access traffic entries in web server log repositories imposes a great challenge to extract any actionable and usable knowledge about browsing behavior of actual visitors. So web robots sessions need accurate and fast detection from web server log repositories to extract knowledge about genuine visitors and to produce correct results of log analyzers.展开更多

The purpose of this study is to determine, from the perspective of culturally sensitive nursing support, the cultural practices that foreigners consider important when they visit a Japanese hospital for check-ups or hospitalization. Methods: A survey was completed by 110 foreign participants at a shrine in Kyoto City. The purpose of the survey was to evaluate the concerns of foreign visitors regarding Japanese medical providers, caused by cultural differences such as customs of daily life. The statistical analyses were performed using descriptive statistics as well as cross-tabulation, chi-square, and Fisher’s exact tests. Results: After grouping participants by continent, the top concerns observed in all groups about visiting a Japanese hospital were accessibility to and cost of medical care. First, as for medical facilities, participants from North and South America (North and South American) and Europe (Europeans) were significantly more concerned than those in Asia (Asians) (P P P P P Conclusion: Nurses need opportunities to learn and understand differences in cultures. If nurses have opportunities to learn cultural differences as well as to experience caring for foreign patients, their competencies in culturally sensitive nursing support will improve over time. It can be said that this is an issue not only in Japan but also in all other countries.展开更多

Soil was sampled twice yearly in wet and dry seasons. In each season soil was sampled from areas exposed to differing levels of visitors’ pressure (VP), and designated “no VP (Control)”, “High VP” and “Low VP”. The soil samples were taken from two depths. For each soil sample, moisture, organic matter and soluble-ion contents, pH, and electrical conductivity were determined. It was found that different properties were differently affected by VP, seasonal dynamics and soil depth: organic matter content, penetration depth and sodium concentration were the most sensitive to VP;Soil moisture did not respond to VP, but sharply reflected seasonal changes;Calcium and organic matter contents were significantly affected by the soil depth. The sensitivity of soil properties to VP increased from March to July, and the upper soil layer was more sensitive to seasonal dynamics and VP than the deeper layer. Some soil properties exhibited “spotty” patterns;others a “frontal” one. Organic matter content was completely controlled by VP at both depths and in both seasons, and could be used as an indicator of soil status in recreation areas. Visitors’ activities included trampling and other anthropogenic factors that enhanced the spatial changes and seasonal dynamics of soil properties. Based on these measurements the intensity of soil degradation and dynamics was evaluated and used to describe the soil status in an urban park.展开更多

This comparison shows that MPPs approach, but seldom surpass, PCPs with respect to either metric. This paper also discusses the merits and demerits of 'clusters' of workstations Ironically, recently introduced low--cost, parallel systems can also be viewed as 'virtual workstation clusters' that offer comparable, if not superior, capabilitics. Finally, this paper explores the question of whether it will be economically feasible for computer manut'acturers to continue building PVPs, or are MPPs the only economically viable option for building parallel systems?展开更多

This paper also discusses the merits and demerits of 'clusters' of workstations Ironically, recently introduced low--cost, parallel systems can also be viewed as 'virtual workstation clusters' that offer comparable, if not superior, capabilitics. Finally, this paper explores the question of whether it will be economically feasible for computer manut'acturers to continue building PVPs, or are MPPs the only economically viable option for building parallel systems?
文摘Thanks for your straightforward comments and constructive suggestions on our recent study on dual‐beam FT‐IR spectroscopy published in Chin.J.Catal.,2017,38,13?19.We are glad to reply your questions and to give some supplementary remarks concerning the dual beam FT‐IR spectrometer,its usage and application progress.The first question you posed is about the nature of the feed gas flow regime in sample cell(e.g.,plug flow or CSTR‐like).You worry about a non‐CSTR flow regime in the sample cell of our dual beam IR‐cell reactor,which will result in difference in the gas composition of sample cell and reference cell,and consequently an imperfect gas‐phase correction.
