Fellows to Use the Centre for Digital Scholarship of the Bodleian Libraries to Access Gale Primary Sources and Gale Digital Scholar Lab to Advance Digital Humanities Research in the Asia-Pacific Region

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. and OXFORD, England, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — To increase access to digital humanities (DH) tools and support emerging research and collaboration amongst scholars, Gale, part of Cengage Group, and Bodleian Libraries at the University of Oxford, announce the recipients of the second cohort of the Gale Scholar Asia Pacific, Digital Humanities Oxford Fellowships. Gale will fund the research of two scholars for three months. The fellowship seeks to support the scholars’ research into a DH-related topic at the University of Oxford, using the Centre for Digital Scholarship of the Bodleian Libraries. To help foster emerging scholarship in the Asia-Pacific region, the fellows have access to the Bodleian Libraries’ resources including Gale Primary Sources as well as Gale Digital Scholar Lab which provides fellows with invaluable text and data mining tools to advance their work through DH methods.

Gale and the Bodleian Libraries congratulate the following candidates, who were awarded the fellowships in the second year of the program and highlight the projects they are pursuing:

Dr. Xiurong Zhao, Renmin University of China, China

Project: The Use of GIS to Map Infectious Diseases in Victorian England seeks to find new answers about the causes of infectious diseases and their spread, and the social impacts of these diseases. By using tools from Gale Digital Scholar Lab, the project will utilize new research methods to produce disease maps to support new information and resources that are easily accessible to the public.

Dr. Terhi Nurmikko-Fuller, Australian National University, Australia 

Project: Transnational Liberalism: A Linked Data Case Study of Australian Political History will leverage data sets to answer questions about the political landscape in colonial Australia, the wider Asia-Pacific region, and the British world more generally during the mid- to late-1800’s. The project provides comprehensive insight into the origins of the Liberal party, which has dominated the national government of Australia for 62 years (since WWII) and shaped the Asia-Pacific region for decades.

“I am thrilled to welcome our second group of Gale fellows to the Bodleian Libraries,” said Richard Ovenden, Bodley’s librarian at the University of Oxford. “We have chosen the finest researchers and academics with the intention of advancing their respective fields through access to our rich holdings and the various forms of digital scholarship employed at the Bodleian. The first group of Gale fellows were able to use Bodleian approaches and collections to significantly advance understanding of the humanities in their research areas, and we are so excited to see what we can achieve together this year.”

The goal of the Gale Scholar Asia Pacific, Digital Humanities Oxford Fellowships is to encourage emerging DH scholarship in the Asia-Pacific region and progress the contribution of non-Western and regional perspectives in the field of DH research. The program increases opportunities for collaboration with other scholars to share new ideas, while providing access to critical tools to support their work. Fellows will become short-term visiting fellows at the University’s Jesus College to allow them access to a range of facilities and resources during their stay.

“We are pleased to continue sponsoring fellowships at the Bodleian Libraries this year. We hope the second-year cohort derives as much value from their stay at Oxford as the first-year cohort,” said Terry Robinson, senior vice president for Gale Global Academic. “Having access to University of Oxford’s world-class facilities, resources and people will undoubtedly enrich their understanding and use of digital scholarship in their projects. We also hope that access to Gale Digital Scholar Lab and Gale Primary Sources at the Bodleian will help them push the boundaries of their research and bring it to the attention of a global audience.”

The fellows will start the program at the University of Oxford in October 2022 and complete it in June 2023.

Gale has been at the forefront of supporting digital scholarship for many years. Gale Digital Scholar Lab was created to address common challenges researchers and scholars face when analyzing large sets of archives. In offering fellowships to scholars in multiple disciplines, Gale is increasing access to text and data mining tools and furthering opportunities in both research and teaching. In June, Gale also announced fellowships to support emerging LGBTQ+ research.

RightPick’s “Pickup Artifact” pioneered JUPAS big data analysis AI to help recommend the DSE candidates for 20 department rankings

Leave a comment

At the same time, the test of Hong Kong’s first subject selection on personality is implemented and being released in July.

HONG KONG, July 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The DSE is about to be released, which means the end of an annual DSE. Since the epidemic, many students have been affected by the epidemic, causing lots of difficulties and pressures in their studies. What they are facing is not only the pressure of the public exams, but also the academic pressure due to the suspension of classes under the epidemic, resulting in the slow progress of teaching. In addition, students are making important decisions about choosing subjects. The founder of RightPick, Mr Wong, felt that due to the impacts of the epidemic, the communication between students and teachers was reduced, and thus, the support of JUPAS for subject selection or other further education’s information to students are lacking. Therefore, he began to work and study with the middle school teachers and human resources consultants on the direction for students to analyse the artificial intelligence system – RightPick for analysing the ways of subject selections. Since its launch, many middle schools and students have chosen– RightPick’s online subject selection resources to help them to rank the JUPAS subjects.

RightPick’s has three professional majors in helping JUPAS selection. First, in July, we developed the first personality analysis for subject selection in Hong Kong, and one-on-one consultation and analysis. Through the RightPick test, students could recognize their own personality traits and abilities, different professional advice are provided to students based on the analysis, and answers the questions from students one-by-one. Second, by using the  artificial intelligence, it could find out the latent characteristics of the department and students and to calculate the level of mutual matching, so as to provide professional recommendation. The calculation method is based on the students’ personality, interests, abilities, and career orientation etc in order to achieve a balance. Hence, to give the most suitable JUPAS subject selection advice. Third, using big data analysis, provide professional opinions and information on 362 JUPAS subjects in 11 universities in Hong Kong, and analyse the 20 JUPAS subjects which are the most suitable for each DSE student.

*”Inadequate Self-knowledge” is the disadvantage of students in their JUPAS course selection*  The RightPick team has conducted more than 5,000 questionnaires, synthesizing the data of graduates from 362 departments, and using big data, algorithms and AI to analyse the most suitable for each DSEers on 20 University JUPAS subjects. By the RightPick test, not only does it help students match the subjects, but more importantly, also solves some common problems which students will be faced with in the subject selection. In order to improve the self-awareness of students, the questions of the RightPick’s test have been carefully designed. Students need to fill in the detailed items of different categories, in the process will stimulate the thoughts on the attributes such as personality, interests, university expectations, and also job expectations.

Besides, many secondary schools should also have some career planning and further education counseling services to help students choosing their JUPAS subjects. However, due to the recent impacts of the epidemic, many lessons have switched to online teaching, making it difficult for the teachers to have contact and connection with the students, causing students could not get sufficient professional opinions. Therefore, one of the selling points of RightPick is that we can provide a series of professional information and assistance for students online without leaving home.

The intelligent subject selection system provides information for further studies, and the preparation for career development. Even though students have clear goals and have already recognized their own characters and abilities, but based on the numerous choices of Jupas subjects, it is difficult for students to search for the information of each subject one by one. Therefore, there is a high chance of randomly choosing subjects, as well as choosing the wrong subjects. To make up for these deficiencies and help students master their ability to pursue further studies in education and their subject interests as early as possible, RightPick has established a subject selection system covering the characteristics of 362 JUPAS subjects among 11 universities in Hong Kong. Furthermore, using artificial intelligence to find out how well the relevant subjects and students are matched, and rank the 20 subjects which are the most suitable for students. The advice provided by RightPick not only matches the personalities and abilities of the students, but also on the directions and future of the career. During the consultation, get to know the attitudes of students, match their interests, values, and salary requirements of various careers, so as to predict the choices to articulate to the career in an easy way.

Using Big Data to help students pursue their dreams, RightPick collects those big data from multiple universities and faculties, and obtains various professional opinions and information from college students through questionnaires, resulting in one million data points. Therefore, besides helping students to choose the most suitable JUPAS subjects, RightPick can also help those who want to obtain comprehensive information about the university, such as the environment of the college, assignments requirements, study format, future job opportunities, etc.

RightPick utmost understands that most of the students are only needed to get some professional opinions and information to set their own goals and dreams. We believe that if you get to know your character as early as you can, you will be able to go to school more smoothly in the future and be able to achieve your goals successfully.

Except from providing the above professional information, RightPick also understands what nowadays students are confronting. Not only are students under heavy academic pressure, but also feel anxious because of the expectations of their families and teachers, and want to strive for the best. Therefore, having doubts and worries on the subject selection, and hope to choose the most suitable subject for itself. In this sense, RightPick’s service not only helps students with the problems on the course selection, but also listens to the ideas or thoughts through one-on-one consultation and counseling.

RightPick hopes that we can comprehensively take care of the emotional needs of students and the studies. Hoping, students can enjoy a fruitful and cheerful school life, but at the same time, can achieve their goals of further education.

“The iQOO brand is focused on delivering technology that enables users to ‘quest on and on.’ Our goal is to bring the joy of exploration to tech-savvy, digital natives and the next generation of challengers that will break through boundaries to discover and capture the unknown,” said Allan Feng, Global SVP at iQOO, “With the next generation iQOO 9T, we continue our pursuit of cutting-edge performance, industry-leading innovation and design.”

Superior Performance

The new iQOO 9T enables powerful performance through groundbreaking technology innovations, including Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform and top specifications, fast charging, advanced cooling technology and more.

  • As one of the first phones for the India market with the Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform, the iQOO 9T runs an astonishing rating score of 1115589[1] in the iQOO laboratory test. The Kryo CPU of the Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform adopts a three-cluster architecture with a surprisingly super-large core Cortex-X2 running at a clock speed of up to 3.2GHz, which prolongs premium on-device experiences from gaming and streaming to photography and web browsing. Chip function stability has also seen an improvement with advanced 4nm process technology.
  • With software tuning and algorithm optimization, the combination of the Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform, enhanced LPDDR5 and enhanced UFS3.1 enable further reduced power consumption, especially in low-load scenarios, and enhanced performance.
  • iQOO 9T can be charged to 100% within 20 minutes[2] with its 120W FlashCharge technology, pairing the iQOO 7’s industry-first 6C battery cell with an array electrode structure and dual half-voltage charging chips.
  • iQOO 9T boasts an industry-leading vapor chamber liquid cooling system with the size of vapor chamber reaching 3,930mm2. The brand-new cooling system ensures more efficient heat conduction, and more intelligent temperature control via optimized bezel temperature rise design and the use of high-power graphite.
  • The expansive 6.78-inch E5 AMOLED Display brings users a visual feast, offering color accuracy with realistic and natural transitions between bright and dark while remaining efficient with a high refresh rate of 120Hz.

Powerful Gaming Performance

iQOO 9T is designed from the ground up for the ultimate immersive gaming experience, ensuring unparalleled high-frame-rate display, superior in-game control, and enhanced sound.

  • Supported by the V1+ Chip, the main chip can perform noise reduction and frame interpolation while reducing GPU workload. Game frame interpolation pushes iQOO 9T beyond the traditional maximum frame rate, enabling 90-frame smooth display across games such as Genshin Impact, PUBG New State, and BGMI.
  • The Full-Sensory Game Control System includes the In-Display Dual Monster Touch, Dual X-Axis Linear Motor and Dual Stereo Speaker.
  • The In-Display Dual Monster Touch responds to pressure on the left and right parts respectively, while dual mapping can respond to both adding and releasing finger pressure. This enables faster, more convenient control options for gamers, as they are now able to play with four fingers.
  • Dual X-axis linear motors are present on the left and right sides of the device to achieve dynamic 4D vibration. This vibration can simulate actions across many gaming or entertainment scenarios to make the experience even more realistic.
  • The vertically placed dual speakers bring a stronger, more balanced stereo effect. The system helps gamers identify location with stereo sound effects, and provides the auditory effect of fuller bass, high fidelity, a high volume and a wide sound field. The system intelligently adapts to specific scenes to allow for customized adjustments for entertainment and gaming.
  • The audio quality algorithm of iQOO 9T has been upgraded with technologies such as sound field expansion, optimizing the external sound quality.

Discovery in Photography

This new-gen sensor with high light sensitivity and high focus speed allows the camera to accurately and quickly capture a moving subject or a subject in a dark environment and achieve higher color fidelity even for small-sized pixels.
  • The V1+ Chip improves image processing efficiency and power consumption exponentially. With the help of the V1+ Chip, the main chip can perform noise reduction and frame interpolation for night scenes that demand high computing power. Real-time Extreme Night Vision can deliver photo preview effects comparable to human eyes at night. And Super Night Video is realized by the combination of the Super Night Video denoising algorithm powered by the V1+ Chip and V1+ Chip’s high-speed memory management system, which can run in a high speed with low power consumption.

Microsoft Director of Education, Australia, Tiffany Wright and UTS Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Innovation and Enterprise) Glenn Wightwick. Image supplied by Microsoft.

Microsoft and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) have announced a new course that provides students with the skills to succeed in functional consulting.

The Graduate Certificate in Business Consulting and Technology Implementation has been co-designed by Microsoft and UTS in collaboration with leading services firms Avanade, Capgemini, and EY. The course melds technology skills with human-centric skills – like creative thinking, adaptability and emotional intelligence – to fill a growing gap in the market for business and technology consultants.

Through the graduate certificate, UTS aims to produce 1,200 graduates who can deliver solutions with Microsoft Dynamics and other platforms. The course will be delivered online and take eight to ten months to complete on a part-time basis, enabling learners to work while they study.

The first global cohort of lifelong learners will begin their studies in October 2022.

Based on forecasts by International Data Corporation, spending on customer relationship management and low-code solutions is expected to grow approximately 20% year-on-year until 2024. However, businesses may face a lack of talent – to meet demand, an estimated 286,000 additional skilled technology workers are needed over the next two years, according to the Tech Council of Australia.

Tiffany Wright, Director for Education at Microsoft Australia and New Zealand: “Organisations…are looking to grasp the huge opportunity offered by business applications, but a lack of skilled workers puts this at risk. The Graduate Certificate helps provide students with real-world skills and experience that they can put to use straight away.”

Glenn Wightwick, Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Enterprise at UTS: “The Graduate Certificate… brings together the expertise of our world-class educators at UTS in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and UTS Business School, the advanced technologies of Microsoft and the valuable real-world experiences of EY, Capgemini, and Avanade. We at UTS are proud to launch this course, and excited to welcome the first cohort of students in October.”

Allschool Launches “Homeschooling Supplemental Classes”, Inviting Homeschool Veterans to Share Their Experiences and Giving Homeschool Families a Head Start

Leave a comment

SAN MATEO, Calif., July 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Allschool, an innovative online education platform, announced the launch of a new initiative, Allschool Homeschooling Supplemental Classes, a celebrity-backed program which invites homeschool parents to share their success stories and offers tips and inspiration to families who are seeking to create an interactive and fun at-home learning space for their children.

To complement its online homeschool support, Allschool connects with homeschoolers and their families at the Homeschool Association of California (HSC) Conference 2022, which is running from July 28 through 31. At the annual state-wide event that packs in a wide range of activities for participants to have fun and get informed, Allschool showcases its homeschooling solutions and introduces its educational philosophy with the goal of unlocking the potential of home education. 

Transitioning into full homeschool routines takes time and effort, and many families have to go through a painful period overwhelmed by stress before coming to enjoy the flexibility and benefits that homeschooling offers. Targeting the challenges that new homeschool parents have to confront from the outset of this journey, Allschool aims to establish a sharing platform with the new initiative backed by home-school veterans, where parents who are new to at-home education can receive adequate guidance and support, easing their concerns as they kick-start and navigate the homeschooling adventures with their kids.

Meet Amy, a homeschool mom of five and homeschooling resource pro

Amy Milcic was a mental health therapist by trade with a master’s degree in Psychology and Therapy before she became a homeschool parent. She had a rocky start with a fair amount of anxiety when she began the daunting task of homeschooling her five boys. She struggled with what resources to choose, subjects to focus on, and all the fine details that come with teaching. 

“When we first started homeschooling, I thought you had to replicate public school at home – with a strict schedule and spending so much time per subject or it wasn’t real,” she recalled. But she came to fully embrace the flexibility of homeschooling retinues as she explores the benefits that a customized learning environment catering to the needs of her boys can offer.

However, she also shared the same worry that troubles many homeschool families – a parent cannot be an expert in all subjects that kids learn and might not be able to offer support to every facet of their lives, especially in terms of socializing. Allschool opened a new space that engaged her sons’ unique way of learning.

Leave a comment

A unified, fast, reliable and secure upgraded one-stop platform that integrates Tencent’s years of experience in network performance and security

HONG KONG, July 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Along with the rapid development of enterprise digitalization, new edge computing scenarios and applications have now begun emerging in various industries. Drawing from more than 20 years of experience in technology solutions, Tencent Cloud today announced the launch of Tencent Cloud EdgeOne – an upgraded one-stop platform that integrates Tencent’s experience in network performance and security with high efficiency and stability for global enterprises.

Eric Cheng (General Manager of Tencent Security), Lex Liu (General Manager of Wesing), Tommy Li (Vice President of Tencent Cloud), Herman Zhao (Assistant General Manager of Regional Publishing), Baal Feng (General Manager of Global DevOps at Tencent Games), Ligle Lin (Vice General Manager of International Products at Tencent Cloud) today announced the launch of Tencent Cloud EdgeOne (From left to right)

In 2021, given the unprecedented surge of short-video and live steaming businesses globally, Tencent Cloud launched the RT-ONE™ network1 to build a foundation of the most comprehensive audio and video communication network in order to meet market needs. To further enhance corporate customers’ cyber-security, Tencent Cloud has applied its security technology to the RT-ONE™ network by introducing an upgraded, highly integrated one-stop platform. The new platform offers cutting-edge security capabilities, creating integrated services to fulfil businesses’ requirements on network speed and security features.

Leveraging Tencent Cloud’s over 2,800 global acceleration nodes across more than 70 countries and regions, Tencent Cloud EdgeOne allows users to enjoy high-quality network performance without compromising their security.  It also features the following advantages:

  • Moves the services to the edge nodes closer to end-users and provides layer-3 (Network), layer-4 (Transport), layer-7 (Application) protection as well as acceleration services to the global market. It also highlights a unified dashboard that greatly reduces the configuration workload and saves time for customers.
  • Provides a set of dedicated interconnections to accelerate traffic between Tencent Cloud EdgeOne and Origin Server. Additionally, it integrates the domain name system (DNS), which ensures stable and high-performance DNS resolution, and greatly reduces the latency for static and dynamic data.
  • Integrates security features and technologies based on Tencent’s experience in security for over two decades, including but not limited to DDoS protection (Anti-DDoS), web protection (Web Application Firewall), bot management and behavior analysis (Tencent Cloud bot program management), and adaptive rate-limiting, among others. It deploys security functions on edge nodes closer to users, detecting and mitigating malicious requests before they hit application services.

Poshu Yeung, Senior Vice President, Tencent Cloud International, said, “With the emergence of technologies such as cloud computing, big data, AI, blockchain, Web3 and the Internet of Things, the digital transformation of enterprises is now considered to be essential. Relying on Tencent’s own security business operation experience of serving 1 billion users, we are excited to see how Tencent Cloud EdgeOne provides users an unprecedented, high-quality and highly reliable network experience as they safeguard their security at the same time.”

Tommy Li, Vice President of Tencent Cloud, said, “Tencent Cloud EdgeOne can be summarized by an acronym using one word: ACROSS. It stands for Advanced technology; exclusive Connectivity; Real-time service; Optimization of data; Smart application; and Security protection. Enterprises that are adapting to the growing digitalization trend are experiencing common problems such as network latency, congestion, and security threats. By applying our sophisticated security technology to our RT-ONE™ network, the new platform Tencent Cloud EdgeOne provides lower latency and built-in security features with outstanding performance, giving businesses and organizations reliable services to address their concerns.”

Applications of Tencent Cloud EdgeOne in various industries

Global businesses, ranging from commerce, retail, financial service, content and news to the gaming, media, audio and video sector, can now enjoy the benefits of using Tencent Cloud EdgeOne. One of the integrated solution’s recent major clients is a popular online video-on-demand platform in China, which addressed its issues including degraded user experience, malicious SEO, bot cheating/scamming and content piracy with Tencent Cloud EdgeOne. The platform successfully reduced the video’s loading time by 40 percent, and resource response delay by 50 percent.

Cyberattacks in the e-commerce industry cause business disruption and affect user experience. To avoid the risk of damage due to cyberattacks, an online e-commerce platform – which needs to carry out hundreds of billions of daily operations including user account management, activities, billing analysis and other modules – made use of Tencent Cloud EdgeOne to successfully defend against Challenge Collapsar (CC) attacks with peak traffic for over 9 million QPS (queries per second).

During a new game release by one of the world’s biggest game publishers, security and network capabilities were put to the test when it attracted more than one million users. Tencent Cloud EdgeOne adopted a distributed strategy of preloading and provided DDoS attack protection, web protection, rate limiting, and robot behavior interception capabilities, ultimately helping the new game to achieve 100% success in downloads with zero business interruption.

Eric Cheng, General Manager of Tencent Security, said, “At Tencent Cloud, we aim to make user access more efficient, and make business more secure as they go full throttle with their digitalization journey. With the launch of Tencent Cloud EdgeOne, we now have a unified, fast, reliable, and secure platform that can detect and defend against attacks earlier, mitigating malicious traffic right on edges before they reach our data center.”

Baal Feng, General Manager of Global DevOps at Tencent Games, said, “The global gaming market enjoys an enormous potential, and is expanding rapidly. As more opportunities arise, so do the challenges, such as addressing the extremely high demands for download speed and latency. Network quality determines the download speed and user experience, and Tencent Cloud EdgeOne is now here to provide an integrated service that ensures these demands are met, without compromising security.”

With the rapid development of the global digital economy, digital innovation and transformation have expanded from the internet to traditional industries, and has fully blossomed in the development and investment of cross-border e-commerce, games and other independent applications. Meanwhile, the high requirements for business performance and security protection are significant factors for the digital transformation of enterprises. Tencent Cloud aims to continue exporting high-level security capabilities, providing global partners with safe, stable, extremely fast, and professional edge-integrated security services, and reliably assisting enterprises in their digital journey.

  1. RT-ONE™ network, launched by Tencent Cloud in 2021, is an all-in-one service for audio and video communication network. It integrates Tencent Cloud’s real-time communication network (TRTC), instant messaging network (IM) and content distribution network (CDN) in a one-stop solution.
