video surveillance exam

19.12.2013

The Minister of Education and Science of the Russian Federation Dmitry Livanov said that the Unified State Exam in 2014 will be controlled using video cameras. The live broadcast of the exam will be seen by public observers, as well as parents of students.

"The so-called federal observers will appear at the examination points. We will provide almost every audience for the exam with video surveillance equipment, video recording. And parents will be able to see, including in a live broadcast, how their children take exams," Livanov said in an interview on the TV channel NTV.

Earlier, Livanov said that video cameras from the presidential elections in 2012 will probably be used to equip the exam sites. According to him, the use of video cameras is a forced measure, the need for which will disappear "when everyone learns to pass honestly." At the same time, increasing information transparency and public control over the conduct of a unified exam is one of the main activities of the department, the minister said.

These are not the first innovations that will appear in 2014 during the USE. Earlier, the head of the Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science (Rosobrnadzor), Sergei Kravtsov, said that the points for passing the exam would be equipped with metal detector frames. Metal detectors will be needed for the temporary removal of mobile devices from schoolchildren - they cannot be brought to the exam.

Thus, participants in the USE in 2014 will have to go through two stages of verification before the exam. First, the organizers will make sure that the student has all the necessary documents, and then the police will check if he has mobile devices with him, with which you can find out the answers. However, metal detector frames, according to Kravtsov, will not appear in all regions, but only where the largest number of violations were found during the exams of previous years.

The results of the exam next year will also protect against fraud to the maximum. Deputy Minister of Education and Science of the Chelyabinsk Region Elena Kouzova reported a little earlier that from 2014 graduates would not be issued paper certificates of passing the unified state exam.

It is planned that by this time all professional educational institutions will have already finished connecting to the unified federal information system (FIS USE), which will store information about the results of passing state exams, as well as the presence of victories in district, regional and all-Russian Olympiads, which are given to graduates the right to preferential admission to educational institutions.

At the same time, starting from 2014, the results of the USE will be valid for admission to universities and colleges for four years, although previously they were relevant for only a year and a half and gave only two attempts to enter professional educational institutions. The universities themselves will have to transfer to the FIS USE information about the established admission criteria for applicants, about the admission rules, applications received from applicants and the results of their entrance examinations.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Controlling objects using air currents 04.05.2024

The development of robotics continues to open up new prospects for us in the field of automation and control of various objects. Recently, Finnish scientists presented an innovative approach to controlling humanoid robots using air currents. This method promises to revolutionize the way objects are manipulated and open new horizons in the field of robotics. The idea of controlling objects using air currents is not new, but until recently, implementing such concepts remained a challenge. Finnish researchers have developed an innovative method that allows robots to manipulate objects using special air jets as "air fingers". The air flow control algorithm, developed by a team of specialists, is based on a thorough study of the movement of objects in the air flow. The air jet control system, carried out using special motors, allows you to direct objects without resorting to physical ... >>

Purebred dogs get sick no more often than purebred dogs 03.05.2024

Caring for the health of our pets is an important aspect of the life of every dog owner. However, there is a common assumption that purebred dogs are more susceptible to diseases compared to mixed dogs. New research led by researchers at the Texas School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences brings new perspective to this question. A study conducted by the Dog Aging Project (DAP) of more than 27 companion dogs found that purebred and mixed dogs were generally equally likely to experience various diseases. Although some breeds may be more susceptible to certain diseases, the overall diagnosis rate is virtually the same between both groups. The Dog Aging Project's chief veterinarian, Dr. Keith Creevy, notes that there are several well-known diseases that are more common in certain breeds of dogs, which supports the notion that purebred dogs are more susceptible to disease. ... >>

The i beam tablet from NTT DoCoMo is controlled by sight 11.10.2012

At CEATEC 2012 in Japan, local operator NTT DoCoMo demonstrated the concept of the i beam tablet computer, which confirms that today you can not touch the display at all to work with the mobile platform. Menu navigation, opening, closing and application management are carried out at a distance from the tablet itself.

The thing is that at the bottom of the "pill" i beam is a pair of sensors that track the direction of the user's gaze. To start work, it is necessary to perform an initial calibration of the sensors, and after they are accurately adjusted to the eyes of a particular person, you can start working. A thick dot appears on the screen, which follows the direction of view and actually replaces the mouse pointer. The user is absolutely free in his actions and can perform almost all the same operations as when working on the touch screen.

According to eyewitnesses who managed to work with i beam personally, the most difficult interface element turned out to be a cross in the upper right corner, which closes applications. As a result, I even had to give up eye control and touch this on-screen button with my hand. The developers of NTT DoCoMo demonstrated a game designed for eye control, an application for viewing photos in a gallery, a browser interface and a reader. The e-book app turned out to be the most thoughtful, looking at a word more closely, you can start a search for this query, and the pages are scrolled by looking at the bottom corners. The Japanese operator is not yet ready to release this platform on the market.
