This paper presents a systematic literature review that examines the enhancement of teamwork through games. The importance of teamwork in various domains is highlighted, emphasizing its role in achieving common goals and fostering effective group efforts. However, teaching teamwork poses challenges, as educators need to address dynamic interactions and develop students' collaborative skills and abilities. Furthermore, the history of games in education is explored, tracing their roots to John Locke's educational theories and their application in facilitating engaging and effective learning experiences. The methodology section outlines the inclusion and exclusion criteria for selecting relevant studies. Peer-reviewed articles published after 2010 were included, focusing on primary research that specifically addresses teamwork. Two electronic databases, Taylor & Francis, PubMed, and IEEE Xplore, were utilized to gather resources, ensuring reliable and abundant data. The data analysis involved a summary and evaluation of published research on enhanced teamwork approaches. A systematic literature review table was constructed to synthesize and summarize the selected studies. The PRISMA model was followed for identifying, assessing eligibility, and including relevant articles in the review. The results section presents key findings from the selected studies, showcasing their study designs, research questions, target populations, domains, and learning outcomes. The studies highlight the potential of teamwork to enhance team performance in games and the effectiveness of game-based training for fostering teamwork. Additionally, computer-based learning games were found to encourage collaborative learning and help students understand the significance of teamwork in achieving desired outcomes. This systematic literature review contributes to the understanding of how games can be used as effective tools for enhancing teamwork. It provides insights into the existing research lands

Students in higher education face a de facto expectation that they will supply the personal technology required to participate in learning activities. Although traditional computing devices are most commonly used for academic work, students report significant engagement in their studies via their mobile devices. Understanding the intersection of student behavior and the technology students choose to use could allow instructors and instructional designers to develop digital learning materials that meet students’ expectations. This study examines computer-based learning activities through the lens of several theoretical frameworks to analyze and quantify the types of academic work students are most likely to – and would like to be able to – perform on their smart phones. The results show that most students perform at least some academic tasks on their smart phones but are highly selective about which tasks they choose to carry out. However, it is demonstrated that younger students and students with higher levels of financial need are more dependent on their smart phones and use them to perform a much wider range of learning activities.

Early diagnosis, treatment and regular monitoring can limit the spread and adverse effects of respiratory diseases. Shortage of trained physicians is one of the main obstacles to ensure early diagnosis and treatment which can be overcome by making lung auscultations automated. To automate lung auscultations and to identify anomalies like crackles, wheezes and/or both, in this work, we propose a hybrid deep learning model combining a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model, ResNet34 as a feature extractor, and a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) as a predictor, along with a novel augmentation technique called homogeneous padding over the ICBHI-2017 dataset. We have also added an attention layer in the feature extractor to allow the model learn the important region of the feature vector. The proposed model has outperformed the recent state-of-the-art models in this regard. We have also found that the inclusion of the attention layer, and the LSTM as a predictor has improved the performance of our model in 2-class and 4-class anomaly predictions.

Assessing the lung sounds reveals important information about the lungs and the existence or severity of possible underlying respiratory related conditions. This paper presents a research-work-in-progress exploring a hybrid signal processing and machine learning-based approach for effectively analyzing the lung sounds. The objective of this study is to achieve high accuracy in detecting adventitious sounds for pulmonary diseases non-invasively. To this end, we are augmenting the feature space and introduce a feature-based model. For the analysis, we are utilizing the ICBHI dataset, which comprises lung sounds collected from 126 patients. The dataset includes various abnormalities, such as wheezing and crackling sounds, providing us with valuable data to train and evaluate the proposed model.

Decentralized Storage Network (DSN) is an emerging technology that challenges traditional cloud-based storage systems by consolidating storage capacities from independent providers and coordinating to provide decentralized storage and retrieval services. However, current DSNs face several challenges associated with data privacy and efficiency of the proof systems. To address these issues, we propose FileDES ( Decentralized Encrypted Storage), which incorporates three essential elements: privacy preservation, scalable storage proof, and batch verification. FileDES provides encrypted data storage while maintaining data availability, with a scalable Proof of Encrypted Storage (PoES) algorithm that is resilient to Sybil and Generation attacks. Additionally, we introduce a rollup-based batch verification approach to simultaneously verify multiple files using publicly verifiable succinct proofs. We conducted a comparative evaluation on FileDES, Filecoin, Storj and Sia under various conditions, including a WAN composed of up to 120 geographically dispersed nodes. Our protocol outperforms the others in terms of proof generation/verification efficiency, storage costs, and scalability.

In recent years, efficient super-resolution research has focused on reducing model complexity and improving efficiency by leveraging deep small-kernel convolution, but it has the problem of a small receptive field, which leads to a limited ability of the network to reconstruct details. Large kernel convolution can provide a large receptive field and lead to a substantial enhancement in the quality of image reconstruction, but its computational cost is too high. To minimize the model’s parameter count and achieve efficient super-resolution reconstruction, this study introduces a symmetric visual attention network. The network decomposes the large kernel convolution into three different lightweight and efficient convolutions. It then forms a bottleneck structure by leveraging the varied receptive field sizes of these convolutions in combination. The attention mechanism is integrated to create a bottleneck attention module, enhancing the network’s feature awareness. Furthermore, the bottleneck attention modules are symmetrically arranged to construct a symmetric large kernel attention block, thereby further enhancing the network’s capability to extract deep features. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves competitive quantitative metrics when compared to other lightweight super-resolution methods, and the details of the reconstructed images are enhanced. With only 183K parameters, the model achieves a lightweight yet high-quality super-resolution model, offering a novel solution approach for efficient super-resolution.
