Regular followers of KES International activities will know that it is our aim to support the intelligentsystems community by providing high-quality events and publications. Starting from relatively humble origins, KES has developed considerably in terms of quantity and quality since its inception about 10 years ago. The annual KES conference is now a well-established event in the intelligent s...

BACKGROUND As mobile phone access continues to expand globally, opportunities exist to leverage these technologies to support demand for immunisation services and improve vaccine coverage. We aimed to assess whether short message service (SMS) reminders and monetary incentives can improve immunisation uptake in Kenya. METHODS In this cluster-randomised controlled trial, villages were randomly...

A bi-directional many-sided explanation typed multi-step validation method including its implementation architecture has been proposed to diminish validation loads for busy experts. This paper presents a validation tool based on this method. This tool supports the multi-step, bi-directional validation by experts, KEs (Knowledge Engineers) and computers on the Intra/lnternet environment. Particu...

Neuromodulation therapies, which electrically stimulate parts of the nervous system, have traditionally attempted to activate neurons or axons to restore function or alleviate disease symptoms. In stark contrast to this approach is inhibiting neural activity to relieve disease symptoms and/or restore homeostasis. One potential approach is kilohertz electrical stimulation (KES) of peripheral ner...

Farklı zamanlarda ekimi yapılan karabuğday bitkisinin tohumu alındıktan sonra geriye kalan kesinin (samanının) hayvan besleme açısından verim ve kalitesini belirlemek amacıyla bu çalışma yürütülmüştür. Çalışma Bingöl ili ekolojik koşullarında 20 Nisan (birinci ekim), 30 (ikinci 10 Mayıs (üçüncü ekim) 2021 (dördüncü tarihlerinde olmak üzere dört farklı ekim zamanı şeklinde tesadüf blokları denem...

Learning path construction is a complex task. It involves formulating and organizing learning activities, defining ways to evaluate student learning progress and to match such progress with designated learning outcome requirements. Existing methods for adaptive learning path construction typically consider knowledge elements (KEs) as the building blocks and offer mechanisms to select and schedu...

The effect of extended laundering on cotton fabric treated with Dimethylol dihydroxyethyleneurea (DMDHEU) easy care finish was investigated and the fabric characterised by crease recovery performance and the Kawabata Evaluation System for Fabrics (KES-F). The KES-F results indicated that the mechanical handle properties of the DMDHEU treated cotton fabrics were affected by both the levels of ap...

To diminish the validation load on busy experts, a bi-directional, many-sided explanation typed multi-step validation method (MMBV) was proposed, which can decrease the validation tasks of experts (Tsuruta et al., 2000). This paper proposes the extension of MMBV. In this method, through the validation results and comments of experts, validation knowledge can be automatically acquired as case-ba...

RINGKASAN Contoh-contoh seperti kuping, kutil, najis tengkorok dan paru-paru telah dihantar ke makmal untuk menentukan penyakit-penyakit haiwan dengan menggunakan mikroskop lektron. Pemeriksaan contoh dari kes puru kambing dengan puru ayam telah menunjukkan adanya kumin-kumin berupa bentuk poxvirus. Kumin-kumin berupa bentuk coronavirus telah juga dilihat dari najis anak lembu berpenyakit ceret...
