Data mining techniques have been applied to many areas in the business world and our daily life, including healthcare and clinical health services. One of the mostly watched health problems is obesity and overweight, particularly for children and adolescents. In this paper, we try to find the most significant lifestyle risk factors associated with overweight and obesity among high school students in the US. Lifestyle survey data from the 2011 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) was used with the students' body weight statuses, overweight or obesity, considered as two target variables. Both logistic regression models and decision tree models were created for each target variable. Both the logistic regression and decision tree method show that frequently doing physical activity and having breakfast everyday were protective factors against being overweight or obese. Smoking and drinking sugar-sweeten beverage frequently were found to be associated with an increased risk to be obese.

The present study proposes prediction approaches of student's grade based on their comments data. Students describe their learning attitudes, tendencies and behaviors by writing their comments freely after each lesson. The main difficulty of this research is to predict students' performance by separately using two class data in each lesson. Although students learn the same subject, there exist differences between the comments in the two classes. The proposed methods basically employ latent semantic analysis (LSA) and two types of machine learning technique: SVM (support vector machine) and ANN (artificial neural network) for predicting students' final results in four grades of S, A, B and C. Moreover, an overlap method was proposed to improve the accuracy prediction results, the method allows to accept two grades for one mark to get the correct relation between LSA results and students' grades. The proposed methods achieve 50.7% and 48.7% prediction accuracy of students' grades by SVM and ANN, respectively. To this end, the results of this study reported models of students' academic performance predictors that are valuable sources of understanding students' behavior and giving feedback to them so that we can improve their learning activities.

The bump hunting, proposed by Friedman and Fisher, has become important in many fields such as marketing and medical fields, and etc. Among them, to answer the unresolved question of molecular heterogeneity and of tumoral phenotype in cancer, the local sparse bump hunting algorithm, such as CART (Classification and Regression Trees) and PRIM (Patient Rule Induction Method), is useful. In the bump hunting, we use the trade-off curve as a criterion such that the algorithm works effectively, instead of the misclassification rate in classification problems. The trade-off curve is constructed by finding the relation between the pureness rate and the capture rate. So far, we assessed the accuracy for the trade-off curve in typical fundamental cases that may be observed in real cases, and found that the proposed tree-GA can construct the effective trade-off curve. In addition, we investigated the prediction accuracy of the tree-GA by comparing the trade-off curve obtained by using the tree-GA with that obtained by using the PRIM, and found the superiority of the tree-GA over the PRIM when the sample size is large. In this paper, to focus on the sparse and small sample size cases observed in medical cases, we have investigated the typical fundamental cases using Monte Carlo simulations, and we found that the non-ignorable biases exist in the tree-GA. We have proposed a method here to remove such biases.

In this paper, we report an applied case study of workshop-based instruction to guide project-based research learning for approximately 280 first-year undergraduate students at the University of Kitakyushu and 25 tutors. The study is called Case Studies on Environmental Issues, and it has two features: a team project and research learning on an environmental problem. Thus, we develop and implement a workshop based on the following instructional design: (1) read the existing instruction manuals and record activities and issues on sticky notes, (2) categorize each sticky note according to the eight essential points of project-based learning, and (3) share the results with teams nearby. We conducted a survey of students after this course, and found that: (1) The workshop is effective in removing the anxiety that students feel about group work and the processes of this course. (2) Satisfaction with the workshop was high because each student understands the process of this course well and becomes conscious of his/her role in a team. (3) This workshop encourages each student to participate in group work, and many students report that they have experienced solving problems as a group. Thus, this workshop is effective for team project-based research learning. We will also propose applications of this method to transform instruction, which tends to bore students, into attractive active learning.

Facebook and LINE are the two popular social media in Taiwan. This research aims to understand users' behavior(features) and strong/weak ties within the social network as well as if users have been drifted on two social media. We used social network analysis (UCINET) to analyze the features of users and the motivation of drifting on two platforms. Three indicators were also used: degree centrality, betweenness centrality, and closeness centrality. The findings revealed users who had highest value of centralities did not drift from Facebook to LINE. Additionally, users have less usage on Facebook may prefer LINE more. Although many users (especially young people) use LINE very often in Taiwan, the results showed no obvious evidence to drift from Facebook to LINE. The frequency to use two social media is similar according to the outcomes of three centralities.

Many technological solutions, especially in the fields of computer science and software engineering, are poorly supported by empirical evidences of their effectiveness and by the experience of acquiring the application in different industrial contexts. The lack of empirical evidences makes managers less confident in applying technological solutions proposed by the research community. Moreover, the lack of experience in the acquisition of technological solutions in different industrial contexts makes acquisition of the technological solution highly risky. These two issues represent a barrier to the diffusion of innovative technological solutions. This paper presents a Knowledge Management System (KMS), called PROMETHEUS, which consists of a platform that manages the Knowledge Experience Base (KEB), which collects Knowledge Experience Packages (KEP). The KMS thus formed supports the formalization and packaging of knowledge and experience of producers and innovation transferors encouraging gradual elicitation of tacit information of bearers of knowledge to facilitate the transfer. The KMS enables the cooperative production and evolution of KEP between different authors and users.

Currently, electronic control units are employed for almost all automobiles. An engine control unit (ECU), which is also called a powertrain control module, is an electronic control unit for an engine. A fault in computer software for an ECU may cause a hazardous event or a fatal accident. So, in this study, we employ a formal method to design a computer program of ECU. Specifically, we employ a formal method called I/O-automaton, and we model an ECU of a gasoline direct injection engine with a specification language based on I/O-automaton theory. We also introduce an I/O-automaton that is with regard to the correctness of the timing of engine's ignition, and we discuss how to prove the correctness of the design of ECU.

Many universities implement social media for various reasons. It is obvious that the number of social media opportunities provided by universities continue to grow in Thailand. Recently, universities have begun incorporating these social media tools such as Facebook and Line into their marketing mix to connect with everyone, from prospective students to alumni. However, little reliable research existed to indicate whether these tools were an appropriate or effective recruitment resource for universities to use. A sample of 350 freshmen university students took part in the research. The Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to explain the adoption process. The proposed model was developed based on the technology acceptance model (TAM). The result showed that TAM and SEM were efficient theoretical tools to understand students' acceptance of social media.
