TOWARDS UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING IN INDONESIA MOBILE PAYMENT SYSTEM THROUGH NFC TECHNOLOGY

evelopment of mobile devices in Indonesia is growing very rapidly. This rapid development is encouraged by affordable price of mobile devices and increasing number of mobile device users triggered by the presence of new technology offered by various vendors. One of new technologies offered by vendors is NFC technology. Nowadays NFC technology can be found on smartphone which is one of leading vendors in Indonesia. On the other hand, mobile payment development in Indonesia has not grown significantly. The presence of NFC technology can be a stepping stone of mobile payment in the world. It is expected in the future that one mobile device will suffice to perform payment transactions. Payment will not only be possible in one place such as supermarket, but also can be used for payment of train tickets, bus, gas stations and many other places. Thus, the use of NFC technology on mobile devices can unify the various payment systems

Analyzing Privacy Protection in Personalized Web Search

Personalized Web Search (PWS) is very effective in improving the quality of search services on the internet. The information on internet has increased day by day and user demand for the accurate result, for the accurate result the user has option to PWS. PWS works on the basis of information that user provide to search provider, the current result based on that information. This paper model makes use of hierarchical user profiles, it simultaneously maintaining privacy protection required by the user. Greedy DP (Discriminating Power) & Greedy IL (Information Loss) are used for runtime generalization and it have online prediction that query requires personalization or not

Effect of physiotherapy on single breath count and breath holding time in COVID-19 patients

Background: The novel Coronavirus is known to primarily affect the respiratory system and physiotherapy treatment is integral to combat this infection. However, the assessment of pulmonary function poses a difficult challenge considering the risk of spread of infection and sanitisation of the devices used. Single breath count (SBC) and breath holding time (BHT) can be thus adopted as bedside assessment tests for pulmonary function following physiotherapy treatment.Method: In this a retrospective observational study of 51 COVID-19 patients, mean age 51.7±14.56 years, on room air, admitted in the step-down units of a tertiary care hospital. Patients received standard physiotherapy treatment, within safe hemodynamic limits. Pre and post treatment session SBC was recorded in 32 patients and BHT in 19 patients. Three reading were noted and the best of three readings were used for analysis.Results: The paired t test was used to analyse SBC and BHT. Mean pre and post SBC was 18.25±8.96 and 23.31±9.96 respectively with a mean difference of 5.06 and p<0.0001. Mean pre and post BHT were 19.37 and 23.05 seconds respectively with a mean difference of 3.68 and p<0.0001.  Statistically significant difference in the pre and post treatment session SBC and BHT was observed, indicating a positive effect of physiotherapy treatment on pulmonary function.Conclusion: Physiotherapy treatment shows significant improvement in the pulmonary function in COVID-19 patients. SBC and BHT tests can be used as assessment and prognostic tools for pulmonary function in COVID-19 patients

Implementation of a Portable Learning Management System (PLMS) without Internet for Skill Development in a rural Educational Institute’s

Skill development initiatives are critical for India's advancement since they reduce unemployment, stimulate economic growth, promote inclusion, and strengthen the country's worldwide competitiveness. By investing in skill development, India can capitalize on its demographic dividend and unleash the potential of its workforce for long-term growth and prosperity. The situation of education in rural India is frequently marked by several problems, particularly when it comes to accessing technology resources such as the internet and Learning Management Systems (LMS). Rural education infrastructure is often less developed than in urban areas, resulting in limited access to new technologies and digital resources. The Present research paper focuses on design and implement portable Learning Management System (PLMS) without internet for skill development in rural education Institutes

GameTeen: new tools for evaluating and training emotional regulation strategies

The aim of this paper is to describe GameTeen, a novel instrument for the assessment and training of Emotional Regulation (ER) strategies in adolescent population. These new tools are based on the use of 3D serious games that can be played under different settings. The evolution of ER strategies will be monitored in two ways depending on the setting where the tool is presented. Firstly, in the laboratory, physiological signals and facial expressions of participants will be recorded. Secondly, in real life settings, ecological momentary assessment tools will be used to obtain answers from the subjects using their mobile phone. The goal is to obtain more attractive and reliable tools to evaluate and train ER strategies.This study was funded by Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia Spain, Project Game Teen (TIN2010-20187) and partially by projects Consolider-C (SEJ2006-14301/PSIC), “CIBER of Physiopathology of Obesity and Nutrition, an initiative of ISCIII” and Excellence Research Program PROMETEO (Generalitat Valenciana.

Rewilding the uplands: the effects of removing sheep grazing on soils and plants

Rewilding the uplands almost inevitably involves the removal of grazing livestock. Whilst the concept of rewilding is gaining in popularity there is very little evidence about the likely outcomes or over the time-scales that any change might happen. Here, we report preliminary results from a recent study of eight long-term experiments at Moor House NNR in the north-Pennines, where permanent plots with- and without-sheep grazing were established between 1954—67 on a range of typical upland plant communities. Soils and vegetation were sampled and their chemical properties analysed were found. No significant differences in soil properties, above-ground biomass or the nutritional status of the vegetation. The above-ground biomass was correlated with altitude suggesting that climate was a more important driver than sheep grazing pressure. Assuming that the results scale-up from these small-scale experiments to the landscape scale, these results suggest that rewilding the uplands by reducing sheep densities to zero will have little impact in the short- to medium-term on soil or vegetation nutritional properties

Record Bureau (NCRB). Under NCRB the state crime

importance of data mining technology to design proactive services to reduce crime incidences in the police stations jurisdiction. Crime investigation has very significant role of police system in any country. Almost all police stations use the CIPA system to store and retrieve the crimes and criminal data and subsequent reporting. It become useful for getting the criminal information but it does not help for the purpose of designing an action to prevent the crime. It has become a major challenge for police system to detect and prevent crimes and criminals. There is no any kind of information is available before happening of such criminal acts and it result into increasing crime rate. The presented paper highlights the use of data mining techniques for effective investigation of crimes
