PaintArt 2.0 — Computer program for education of visual arts in secondary schools

Abstract

This article presents a computer program consisting of a paint program and a database of specially prepared forms in bitmap format for education of visual arts in secondary schools.Since more theoretical issues are prevailing on the secondary school level this computer software, which is actually a paint program, is equipped with different forms in bitmap format, with yes/no questions, multiple choice questions, classic questions demanding full text answers and questions where school boys and girls have to apply the solutions of the questions on specific paintings presented in the questions. By using this program, secondary school boys and girls can compare their own answers with the provided solutions in PaintArt 2.0 and enhance their knowledge of arts.

Estimating stock price based on information from financial statement using machine learning approach

“…In 2011, Zdenko Prohaska and his team [3] developed a computer program with the objective of computing stock prices based on data extracted from companies' balance sheets and income statements, as shown in Figure 1. The dataset encompassed various financial metrics, including price -earnings ratio, dividend yield, and debt-equity ratio, among others.…”

“…Financial ratios, such as the price -toearnings (P/E) ratio, the price-to-book value (P/BV) ratio, the price-to-sales (P/S) ratio, and price-to-current cash flow (P/CF) ratio, are used to make these estimations. For example, Zdenko Prohaska and his colleagues [3] have developed a computational program to determine intrinsic value based on balance sheet information and a calculated equation.…”
