Problem Statement: Improper triage and prioritization of big-data patients may result in erroneous strategic decisions. An example of such wrong decision making includes the triage of patients with chronic heart disease to low-priority groups. Incorrect decisions may jeopardize the patients' health. Objective: This study aims to evaluate and score the big data of patients with chronic heart disease and of those who require urgent attention. The assessment is based on multicriteria decision making in a telemedical environment to improve the triage and prioritization processes Methods: A hands-on study was performed. A total of 500 patients with chronic heart disease manifested in di®erent symptoms and under various emergency levels were evaluated on the basis of the following four main measures. An electrocardiogram sensor was used to measure the electrical signals of the contractile activity of the heart over time. A SpO2 sensor was employed to determine the blood oxygen saturation le.....

Purpose of the study: This study examined the effectiveness of MOOC in the blended learning of Computer Architecture and Organization course based on the integration of online learning using MOOC and face-to-face learning. Specifically, the aim of the study was to identify factors that could influence student acceptance of MOOC in terms of immersion (IM) and intention to use (BIU) based on the HMSAM. Methodology: Quantitative approach through pre-test/post-test control group design was implemented in this study. Simple random sampling was carried out to recruit the study sample comprising 168 undergraduates from a population of 298 students. Pearson correlation analysis, ANOVA and multiple regression analysis were performed on the survey data collected using online questionnaire. Main Findings: Joy, control, perceived usefulness (PU) and curiosity were significantly correlated with IM while PU, joy and curiosity were significantly correlated with BIU. Control, PU, joy and curiosity wer.....

As the term computational thinking was just introduced into Malaysian education landscape in early 2017, the knowledge about it is still limited. Therefore, a literature review mapping has been done in order to identify its features and global research pattern related to this skill. IEEEXplore, Science Direct, and Web of Science were selected as the main sources of the articles out of 13 other repositories. The total of 325 articles were found by using computational thinking with punctuation marks " " as keywords via selected repositories. Out of this total, 109 articles have met the criteria and only 86 articles were referred together with another 30 additional multi-type references. Finally, 66 features were generated from 29 referred articles related to the characterization of computational thinking skill. Among these features, three with the highest frequency were identified. It made up of two features that often assessed at tertiary education level namely algorithm and abstraction.....
