Automated attendance management system using face recognition is a smart way of marking attendance which is more secure and time efficient as compared to already existing attendance systems. In our work we propose an automated attendance management system. This system automatically detects the student when he enters the class room and marks the attendance by recognizing his face. A threshold va...

We examine the relationship between attendance, uncertainty of outcome, and team quality in the National Hockey League. Based on results from a reduced form model of attendance at 6054 regular season NHL games from 2005/06 to 2009/10, we find evidence that attendance increases when fans expect the home team to win by a large margin. Attendance increases for home team underdogs, but the extent o...

BACKGROUND Unplanned re-attendance at the Emergency Department (ED) is often monitored as a quality indicator of the care accorded to patients during their index ED visit. High bed occupancy rate (BOR) has been considered as a matter of reduced patient comfort and privacy. Most hospitals in Singapore operate under BORs above 85 %. This study aims to explore factors associated with the unplanned...

The national Emergency Medicine Programme (EMP) in Ireland, defines a re-attender as any patient re-presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) within 28 days with the same chief complaint.

There were 2919 attendances made up from 2530 patients; 230 patients re-attended a to...

The increasing number of students in colleges or universities is becoming a challenge for the lecturers especially when taking their attendance. Besides that, some students might just come to get their attendance marked and then leave the class. As existing systems do not track the students before marking their attendance, students are able to leave the class once their attendances are taken, r...

We have seen over the years that the process of manual attendance has been carried out across almost all educational institutions. The process is not only time consuming but also sometimes inefficient resulting in the false marking of attendance. Today, we need not maintain pen and paper based attendance registers. Following this thought, we have proposed an attendance marking and calculation s...
