Educational video games (EVG) provide a rich platform to improve the Player Experience (PX), and constitute some of the main edutainment applications currently in the market. However, the evaluation of video games as educational tools is very difficult due to their dual nature (fun and education). In some cases, PX (as an usability measure) is a very important aspect of the EVGs and is a good measure of the level of fun and education presented to players. Educational Playability (playability in EVG) attributes are a suitable and effective tool to analyze and measure the experience obtained by a player during a game. To this end, it is necessary to evaluate the playability to determine the degree of improvement in PX. Playability evaluation through different methods is one of the major topics of PX in video games. In this paper, we present a new approach to evaluate the PX by using the educational playability.

this report. Section II describes the major functions of IVHS, and their requirements, if any, for navigable map databases. Section III discusses alternative data models, including the traditional planar link/node model and newer, more powerful models. Section IV examines the design of a distributed navigable map database, and the capabilities of current GIS and database management products in this area

This study wants to see how the effect of price perception on customer satisfaction. This researchwas conducted in one of the hawker center in the city of Medan, it's X Food court which consist of100 respondents who are customers there and asked to willingly respond to statements throughquestionnaires. The hypothesis testing used structural equation modeling (SEM) methods. Assistedby the AMOS 16 program. The results in this study, described the results which support theproposed hypothesis by stating there is a significant relationship between price perception andcustomer satisfaction. This research is expected to be an input for the company where the researchtakes place, and also can be material for further research to be able to develop existing variablesand develop theoretical strengths which are the main weaknesses in this study and also develop thepopulation towards a broader direction.

Spatial data infrastructure (SDI) actors have great expectations for the second-generation SDI currently under development. However, SDIs have many implementation problems at different levels that are delaying the development of the SDI framework. The aims of this article are to identify these difficulties, in the literature and based on our own experience, in order to determine how mature and useful the current SDI phenomena are. We can then determine whether a general reconceptualization is necessary or rather a set of technical improvements and good practices needs to be developed before the second-generation SDI is completed. This study is based on the following aspects: metadata about data and services, data models, data download, data and processing services, data portrayal and symbolization, and mass market aspects. This work aims to find an equilibrium between user-focused geoportals and web service interconnection (the user side vs. the server side). These deep reflections are motivated by a use case in the healthcare area in which we employed the Catalan regional SDI. The use case shows that even one of the best regional SDI implementations can fail to provide the required information and processes even when the required data exist. Several previous studies recognize the value of applying Web 2.0 and user participation approaches but few of these studies provide a real implementation. Another objective of this work is to show that it is easy to complement the classical, international standard-based SDI with a participative Web 2.0 approach. To do so, we present a mash-up portal built on top of the Catalan SDI catalogues.

Abstract The paper showed information sources that most provided HIV/AIDS information to 80 salonists in Irepodun Local Government Area of kwara State Nigeria. The study established the level of awareness of various media of HIV/AIDS transmission among salonists, how the salonists' socio-demographic characteristics explained the use of the sources as well as investigate precautionary methods adopted by salonists aimed at reducing transmission of HIV/AIDS among customers. The result showed that friends, radio, television and hospitals were the most frequently used sources. The results also showed that most of the salonists have adopted at least one form of the measures that could reduce the transmission of the disease.

Land fragmentation is a widespread situation which may often hinder agricultural development. Land consolidation is considered to be the most effective land management planning approach for controlling land fragmentation and hence improving agricultural efficiency. Land partitioning is a basic process of land consolidation that involves the subdivision of land into smaller sub-spaces subject to a number of constraints. This paper explains the development of a module called LandParcelS (Land Parcelling System) that is a part of an integrated planning and decision support system called LACONISS (LAndCONsolidation Integrated Support System) which has been developed to assist land consolidation planning in Cyprus. LandParcelS automates the land partitioning process by designing and optimising land parcels in terms of their shape, size and value. The methodology integrates geographical information systems and a genetic algorithm that has been applied to two land blocks that are part of a...
