    All things considered 13,700 specialists were harmed hands on consistently in 2011. Around 20% of these wounds were dealing with related, so guaranteeing laborers are wearing the right safety gloves is absolutely critical and fundamental for dodging damage, maintaining the right wellbeing and security guidelines and staying away from costly days off because of damage. Keeping up an abnormal state of wellbeing and security is fundamental in all organizations regardless of their size. As a business or entrepreneur, keeping staff and laborers sheltered and sound is the most elevated need to most. Guaranteeing workers are wearing the right security articles of clothing are obviously a major piece of this as organizations hold a lawful obligation to give this wellbeing hardware. It is fundamental that businesses recognize what models should be clung to for their particular industry. It is their duty to ensure gloves fulfilling this guideline are given to their team that are appropriate for that specific dealing with circumstance or scope of taking care of circumstances. This not just guarantees the wellbeing of staff - solid workforce endures less damage related days off, as roughly 235 million days of generation time were lost because of wounds in 2011. By clinging to the right business security guidelines an entrepreneur maintains the uprightness of their business, limits the danger of moves made against them from the law and furthermore keeps away from the impacts of negative press

    SAQ is Web-based software you use over the internet with a web browser. You don’t have to install any CDs, download any software, or worry about upgrades. If you use an online bank or web-based email program like Gmail, Hotmail, or Yahoo Mail then you’ve already used web-based software before. In this thesis, we had got the code of the program DimDim and made some modifications and additions, but based on conversion of this program from a special program for private transactions, banking, politician and business to new program that is more comprehensive and wider, it is not limited to banking and private transactions, but in order to be more prevalent and comprehensive to include educational transactions, e-learning, social media, political and business in addition to solve the existing program's problems in the above mentioned. Then we enhanced “DimDim” and made some modifications to be a new software called “SAQ” which has differences that one more efficient than “DimDim”, beginning firstly; the new name “SAQ” related to simulation answer and questions but “DimDim” we didn’t find any meaning for it, secondly; “SAQ” had been more secure by creating a database tables that have a user name and password for each subscriber, it prevents anyone to enter the chat room which hasn’t user name and password, thirdly; adding scalability for subscriber number which was limited by two, but in “SAQ” had been reached to one hundred, besides that; made availability to use cameras and microphones for each subscribers controlling of the number of users, subscribers using cameras and microphones, finally; the frame size of the camera which was fixed but in “SAQ” had been variable due to the number of subscribers using cameras and appear on the user interface

    Abstract Title: The delivery of health and safety training in the construction industry using virtual classes Background This research took place within the context of an EU Minerva funded project. The project's aim was to create an e-learning framework that combined multiple intelligence theory with open source software to deliver health and safety training for the construction industry. The project involved partners from Cyprus, the UK, Turkey, France and Ireland. This study reports on the activities carried out at Waterford Institute of Technology as part of the project. Purpose The research concerned the delivery of the class content through the e-learning framework developed through the Minerva Project to construction industry related students. The content was delivered through two phases of virtual classes and evaluated using an action research methodology. The evaluation results allowed for the identification of key lessons learned from the use of Multiple Intelligence (MI) theory in an e-learning framework. Methodology The theory of MI proposes that people learn using a number of intelligences and that the most effective learning environment is one that can target an individual's dominant intelligence areas. An online MI profiling tool was used to determine the dominant intelligence areas of a group of construction managers and the results were used to design a number of virtual classes. The virtual classes were subsequently delivered in two phases to construction students using an action research methodology. The evaluation process, completed after each phase, measured the levels of interaction and students satisfaction with the use of technology, the learning community, the class content and the role of the instructor. Findings The investigation found that the instructor played a key role in balancing the social, technical and educational focus of a virtual class. The evaluation process identified the role of the instructor, the level of class interactions and the stability of technology as the key aspects to the e-learning framework. The investigation produced guidelines on using MI theory within an e-learning framework. The guidelines involve presenting class content in a number of ways to allow multiple perspectives on a topic, creating a learning community through online interactions and finally allowing students to express what they have learned through personalised learning outputs

    Virtual Classroom Extension for Effective Distance Education

    Get PDF
    We present the design, implementation, and initial results of a system for remote lecture attendance based on extending on-campus classrooms to accommodate remotely located students. A remote student is modeled with a real-time video sprite. The sprites are integrated into a geometric model that ~rovides a virtual extension of the classroom. The A-virtual extension is rendered and projected onto the back wall of the classroom. The remote students are displayed at a natural location within the field of view of the instructor, who can conveniently get a sense of their body language and of their facial expression. The system has been deployed in a first classroom and a pilot study indicates that the system promises to deliver quality education remotely. The system relies exclusively on commodity components, therefore it can be deployed in any classroom to allow any course to offer distance education seats.

    This paper described an analysis the different capabilities and limitation of both IEEE technologies that has been utilized for data transmission directed to mobile device. In this work, we have compared an IEEE 802.11/g/n outdoor environment to know what technology is better. The comparison consider on coverage area (mobility), throughput and measuring the interferences. The work presented here is to help the researchers to select the best technology depending of their deploying case, and investigate the best variant for outdoor. The tool used is Iperf software which is to measure the data transmission performance of IEEE 802.11n and IEEE 802.11g
