Cobol Cripples The Mind!: Academia And The Alienation Of Data Processing, Neel Shah
Cobol Cripples The Mind!: Academia And The Alienation Of Data Processing, Neel Shah
Swarthmore Undergraduate History Journal
This paper writes a social history of the programming language COBOL that focuses on its reception in academia. Through this focus, the paper seeks to understand the contentious relationship between data processing and the academy. In historicizing COBOL, the paper also illuminates the changing nature of the academy-industry-military triangle that was a mainstay of early computing.

Lapnitor: A Web Service That Protects Your Laptop From Theft., Michael Ameteku
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
Laptop theft is an issue worldwide. According to an article from 2018, Security Boulevard stated that a laptop is stolen every 53 seconds. Using a laptop's camera, we can monitor the surroundings of the laptop and reduce a laptop's probability of being stolen. According to the University of Pittsburgh, a laptop has a 1-in- 10 chance of being stolen and nearly half of these thefts occur in offices or classrooms. These thefts mostly occur when a laptop owner leaves their device unattended for a certain period of time to maybe go visit the restroom or attend to a call when …

Due to a pandemic situation arising from the past few decades and the covid -19 patients are increasing at the rapid rate. Looking in the near future an IOT model is build which can be useful for people in coming years and allows rapid testing and efficient testing methodologies using various sensors such as Temperature, Respiration, RFID etc which takes various parameters. The study focuses around 412 scientific documents such as Journals, articles, book chapters and Patents in various papers. These documents are extracted from the scopus databases after querying with the keywords related to covid patients and IOT. The …
Procure-To-Pay Software In The Digital Age: An Exploration And Analysis Of Efficiency Gains And Cybersecurity Risks In Modern Procurement Systems, Drew Lane
MPA/MPP/MPFM Capstone Projects
Procure-to-Pay (P2P) softwares are an integral part of the payment and procurement processing functions at large-scale governmental institutions. These softwares house all of the financial functions related to procurement, accounts payable, and often human resources, helping to facilitate and automate the process from initiation of a payment or purchase, to the actual disbursal of funds. Often, these softwares contain budgeting and financial reporting tools as part of the offering. As such an integral part of the financial process, these softwares obviously come at an immense cost from a set of reputable vendors. In the case of government, these vendors mainly …

The Development Of Project Grade-Up, Dalin Glenn Williams
MS in Computer Science Theses
The university classroom has greatly evolved from a simple syllabus and in class discussion to the modern online documentation and virtual classrooms. These developments have changed the way students review their grades and balance their workloads. With the plethora of new technologies, students are often burdened with a full school schedule, work, and social events, with few tools to help them effectively understand their grades or manage their time. Current solutions addressing this issue do not present data in an organized way that allows the student to easily comprehend their past performance or up coming work load. Our solution builds …

The need exists for a spatial decision support application that allows users to create customized metrics for comparing proposed locations of a new solar installation. This document discusses how PVMapper was designed to overcome the customization problem through development of loosely coupled spatial and decision components in a JavaScript plug-in architecture, allowing the user to easily add functionality and data to the system. The paper also explains how PVMapper provides the user with a dynamic and customizable decision tool that enables them to visually modify the formulas that are used in the decision algorithms that convert data to comparable metrics. …

Implementación De Un Software Para El Sistema De Gestión De Los Laboratorios De La Universidad De La Salle, Diego Hernando Moya Villalobos, Néstor Mauricio Ferreira Gutiérrez
Ingeniería en Automatización
La Universidad de La Salle cuenta con laboratorios para sus diferentes facultades, los cuales, hasta el año 2013 eran dirigidos por cada programa académico sin tener un control de información general que permitiera la correcta administración de los mismos. Actualmente y como solución al problema anterior los laboratorios se unieron bajo una misma dirección sin importar la dependencia a la cual pertenecían buscando un mejor servicio y administración de los laboratorios y los elementos que lo conforman. Una vez se ha dado la integración surge la necesidad de un software para el sistema de gestión de los mismos, que no …
Is Tech M&A Value-Additive?, Ani Deshmukh
Is Tech M&A Value-Additive?, Ani Deshmukh
Undergraduate Economic Review
Given rising M&A deal volume across all high-tech subsectors, the ability to measure post-acquisition performance becomes critical. Despite this growth, the relevant academic literature is severely lacking (Kohers and Kohers 2000). Using an event-study approach, I find that acquirers and targets both realize statistically significant day-0 abnormal returns (1.23% [p<0.1] and 8.1% [p<0.01], respectively). As positive stock returns signal positive growth prospects in a semi-strong efficient market, AR regressions found that firms' technological relatedness, deal financing, purchase price premiums, and the relative book to market ratio, explained most variance. Overall, high-tech transactions are value-additive for both targets and acquirers.
