Computational Thinking
Computational Thinking (CT) has been widely regarded as an essential ability to solve problems by applying basic knowledge of computer science in technological societies. Initially, CT was defined as using the fundamental concepts of computer science to solve problems, design systems, and understand human behaviors.

Use Case Points
Use Case Points (UCP) is a software estimation technique used to forecast the software size for software development projects. UCP is used when the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Rational Unified Process (RUP) methodologies are being used for the software design and development. The concept of UCP is based on the requirements for the system being written using use cases, which is part of the UML set of modeling techniques. The software size (UCP) is calculated based on elements of the system use cases with factoring to account for technical and environmental considerations. The UCP for a project can then be used to calculate the estimated effort for a project.

Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education
The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) is the independent body that checks on standards and quality in UK higher education. It conducts quality assessment reviews, develops reference points and guidance for providers, and conducts or commissions research on relevant issues. QAA checks how universities, colleges and alternative providers of UK higher education maintain their academic standards and quality. It does this through external peer review. Reviewers check that the 19 expectations of the Quality Code, agreed and recognised by the UK higher education sector, are met. It also provides advice to the Privy Council of the United Kingdom, on institutions' requests for degree awarding powers and the right to be called a university. In addition to its role in sustaining the reputation of UK higher education, QAA also regulates the Access to Higher Education Diploma, a qualification that enables individuals without A Levels or the usual equivalent to enter higher education. QAA works closely with other organisations that have an interest in the reputation of UK higher education, including the Higher Education Academy, Universities UK and GuildHE.

Automatic Detection of Cardiovascular Disorders
The main cause of death worldwide is cardiovascular disease (CVD), which claims more than 17 million lives each year. CVD disease creates other pathological issues with the heart, heart valves, or blood vessels.

Machine Failure Prediction Using Survival Analysis
With the rapid growth of cloud computing and the creation of large-scale systems such as IoT environments, the failure of machines/devices and, by extension, the systems that rely on them is a major risk to their performance, usability, and the security systems that support them. The need to predict such anomalies in combination with the creation of fault-tolerant systems to manage them is a key factor for the development of safer and more stable systems.

Methods for Imaging and Evaluation of Scoliosis
Scoliosis is defined as a three-dimensional spinal deformity consisting of a lateral curvature greater than 10 degrees with rotation of the vertebrae within the curve. It can be identified as congenital, neuromuscular or idiopathic. Idiopathic scoliosis (IS) can be further classified by age of onset: infantile (birth to two years), juvenile (three to nine years), and adolescent (10 years and older). It is the most common pediatric musculoskeletal disorder that causes a three-dimensional (3D) spinal deformity. The deformity is always 3D because it also involves an axial rotation of the vertebrae, not just displacement and rotation in the frontal plane. Adolescent IS is the most common form because the spinal deformity evolves during periods of significant physical growth. IS is diagnosed when other etiological factors cannot be identified, such as congenital neurological or musculoskeletal anomalies, or inflammatory or demyelinating processes leading to primary or secondary motor neuron damage (myotonia, myopathy, etc.).

Intrusion Detection System
The increased adoption of cloud computing resources produces major loopholes in cloud computing for cybersecurity attacks. An intrusion detection system (IDS) is one of the vital defenses against threats and attacks to cloud computing. IDSs encounter two challenges, namely, low accuracy and a high false alarm rate. Due to these challenges, additional efforts are required by network experts to respond to abnormal traffic alerts. To improve IDS efficiency in detecting abnormal network traffic, an IDS using a recurrent neural network based on gated recurrent units (GRUs) was developed and long short-term memory (LSTM) through a computing unit to form Cu-LSTMGRU was improved.

ISO 17442
A Legal Entity Identifier (or LEI) is a 20-character identifier that identifies distinct legal entities that engage in financial transactions. It is defined by ISO 17442. Natural persons are not required to have an LEI; they’re eligible to have one issued, however, but only if they act in an independent business capacity. The LEI is a global standard, designed to be non-proprietary data that is freely accessible to all. As of October 2017, over 630,000 legal entities from more than 195 countries have now been issued with LEIs.
