Abstract:

This paper provides an insight of actual use of mobile devices by into LIS students’ in everyday life and their perceptions regarding the usefulness and effectiveness of mobile phones for academic purpose in Central universities in Uttar Pradesh state, India. The findings of the study reveal that most of the respondents use mobile devices daily for more than 3 hours. Smart phone is the most used mobile device. Respondents use productivity tools on their mobile device for creating documents. Gmail app, Whatsapp, google app, adobe reader and PDF viewer are the most frequently used mobile apps. Most of the respondents access Library Website through their mobile device and only 1.96% are accessing e-books from their mobile device. Major barriers found are: use of mobile devices for academic learning in the poor network coverage, high charging data plans, slow load time and lack of Internet speed. The findings of the study will not only guide LIS students in effective use of mobile devices for academic purposes, but will also help mobile manufactures, university authorities, librarians in exploring mobile devices adoption and usage among the respondents.

Abstract:

Context aware computing is important for applications to provide smarter and safer service to mobile users, especially when users’ context changing rapidly or regularly. In this paper, we propose a context aware model for mobile devices based on audio and location. The information can easily obtained from sensors, e.g., microphones and GPS. Thus, exploiting the MFCC features and the location, a Bayes Net is trained and built and will be used for context classifying in the real-time classification. The results of experiments implemented on Android 4.0 platform demonstrate promising performance, which indicates that the model is able to support real applications.

Abstract:

In recent years, the increasingly innovative and diverse mobile devices have significantly promoted the mobile device-based shopping. What factors influence this kind of shopping? Will consumers purchase things with mobile devices? These are two topics that need to be explored. Through the literature analysis and the empirical research, this study aims to analyze the quality of information, system, service and mobile devices on the mobile device-based shopping platform. Moreover, it studies the attitude of consumers towards mobile device-based shopping, their willingness to adopt the shopping method and the behavioral relationship model in the actual mobile device-based shopping as well as compares the groups of different frequencies of the Internet use in terms of the relationship model. With the convenient sampling, this study made an investigation among some of those who had experienced shopping on such mobile devices as tablets or smart phones. The 765 retrieved valid copies of questionnaire were divided into three groups—“often”, “average” and “seldom” according to the frequency consumers undertook mobile device-based shopping and were then compared. The results showed that there were significant differences among the three groups in four relationship paths, including: 1) the information quality of the mobile device-based shopping platform has more significant positive influence on consumers’ attitude path of mobile device-based shopping in the “average” group than in the other two; 2) the service quality of the mobile device-based shopping platform has more significant positive influence on consumers’ attitude path of mobile device-based shopping in the “seldom” group than in the other two; 3) the preference for mobile device-based shopping has much significant positive influence on the behavior path of mobile device-based shopping in the “often” group. According to the research results, different groups have different behavior models. These results can serve as reference information in the decision-making of those who establish mobile device-based shopping platforms and manufacture mobile devices.

Abstract:

The current proliferation of mobile systems, such as smart phones and tablets, has let to their adoption as the primary computing platforms for many users. This trend suggests that designers will continue to aim towards the convergence of functionality on a single mobile device (such as phone + mp3 player + camera + Web browser + GPS + mobile apps + sensors). However, this conjunction penalizes the mobile system both with respect to computational resources such as processor speed, memory consumption, disk capacity, and in weight, size, ergonomics and the component most important to users, battery life. Therefore, energy consumption and response time are major concerns when executing complex algorithms on mobile devices because they require significant resources to solve intricate problems.Offloading mobile processing is an excellent solution to augment mobile capabilities by migrating computation to powerful infrastructures. Current cloud computing environments for performing complex and data intensive computation remotely are likely to be an excellent solution for offloading computation and data processing from mobile devices restricted by reduced resources. This research uses cloud computing as processing platform for intensive-computation workloads while measuring energy consumption and response times on a Samsung Galaxy S5 Android mobile phone running Android 4.1OS.

Abstract:

In recent years, the evolvement of mobile devices which perform sophisticated functions have been on the rise. Mobile applications which solved engineering challenges are now available due to the high computational capabilities, large random access memory and storage location of the mobile devices. An Android application called signal detect, which measures network signal strength value from 2G-4G received on an android mobile device has been developed using android app development environment called Android studio. Validation becomes necessary because different readings were obtained on smartphones with different specifications. Two validation techniques were used to validate the data obtained. To know the efficiency of the application; a field strength meter was used to compare the readings received on the mobile device with the meter. It was observed that there is a time lag on the received values of the mobile device to the field strength meter. Therefore, a moving average technique was used to correlate the two data which increased the correlation coefficient to about 0.85.

Abstract:

Background Registration of brain activity has become increasingly popular and offers a way to identify the mental state of the user, prevent inappropriate workload, and control other devices by means of brain-computer interfaces. However, electroencephalography (EEG) is often related to user acceptance issues regarding the measuring technique. Meanwhile, emerging mobile EEG technology offers the possibility of gel-free signal acquisition and wireless signal transmission. Nonetheless, user experience research about the new devices is lacking. Objective This study aimed to evaluate user experience aspects of emerging mobile EEG devices and, in particular, to investigate wearing comfort and issues related to emotional design. Methods We considered 7 mobile EEG devices and compared them for their wearing comfort, type of electrodes, visual appearance, and subjects’ preference for daily use. A total of 24 subjects participated in our study and tested every device independently of the others. The devices were selected in a randomized order and worn on consecutive day sessions of 60-min duration. At the end of each session, subjects rated the devices by means of questionnaires. Results Results indicated a highly significant change in maximal possible wearing duration among the EEG devices (χ26=40.2, n=24; P<.001). Regarding the visual perception of devices’ headset design, results indicated a significant change in the subjects’ ratings (χ26=78.7, n=24; P<.001). Results of the subjects’ ratings regarding the practicability of the devices indicated highly significant differences among the EEG devices (χ26=83.2, n=24; P<.001). Ranking order and posthoc tests offered more insight and indicated that pin electrodes had the lowest wearing comfort, in particular, when coupled with a rigid, heavy headset. Finally, multiple linear regression for each device separately revealed that users were not willing to accept less comfort for a more attractive headset design. Conclusions The study offers a differentiated look at emerging mobile and gel-free EEG technology and the relation between user experience aspects and device preference. Our research could be seen as a precondition for the development of usable applications with wearables and contributes to consumer health informatics and health-enabling technologies. Furthermore, our results provided guidance for the technological development direction of new EEG devices related to the aspects of emotional design.

Abstract:

Technology emerges in our environment day by day. But, still, we lag in keep on using multiple remotes for every device in our homes. Once Bluetooth came up it changes. People started using mobile phones connected to their devices to hear songs wireless and change channels using a mobile phone. A further implementation is kept on moving with multiple remotes for their usage. So, we had an idea that all our household devices may be controlled on our mobile phones via Bluetooth which is cheaper even for urban peoples. Now, all home devices with remote are IR based which doesn't work on sunlight, fluorescent bulbs due to interference. Switch over Bluetooth control reduces remotes in a sense called plastics. Mobile applications are evolved user-friendly to all the people on the day to day lives. Merge those applications to the household devices to control all household devices operated via remote such as TV, DVD, Home theatres, AC, even Table fan etc., Instead of removing IR's just interface Bluetooth chip on those household devices to control every remote device by using your smartphone. Why I am moving to Bluetooth instead of Wi-Fi. Bluetooth is cheaper, advanced to control devices in the range of 50 meters. But IR is useful to 10 meters, and once you block the signal, it will not work.

Abstract:

Since long term evolved release 14 (LTE R14), the device to device (D2D) communications have become a promising technology for in-band or out-band mobile communication networks. In addition, D2D communications constitute an essential component of the fifth-generation mobile network (5G). For example, to improve capability communication, reduce the power dissipation, reduce latency within the networks and implement new applications and services. However, reducing the congestion in D2D communications and improving the mobile network connectivity are the essential problems to propose these new applications or services. This paper presents new solutions to reduce the congestion of devices around a base station and improve the performance of the D2D network; in terms of the number of connected devices or user equipment (UE). The simulation results show that our proposed solution can improve the network capacity by doubling the number of connected devices (or UE) and reducing the congestion. For this reason, our proposition makes it possible to reduce the financial cost by reducing the cost of deploying equipment. For example, instead of using two base stations, we can use only one station to connect the same number of devices.

Abstract:

Computing with mobile is still in its infancy due to its limitations of computational power, battery lifetime and storage capacity. These limitations hinder the growth of mobile computing, which in-turn affects the growth of computationally intensive applications developed for the mobile devices. So in-order to help execute complex applications within the mobile device, mobile cloud computing (MCC) emerged as a feasible solution. The job of offloading the task to the cloud data center for storage and execution from the mobile seems to gain popularity, however, issues related to network bandwidth, loss of mobile data connectivity, and connection setup does not augment well to extend the benefits offered by MCC. Cloudlet servers filled this gab by assisting the mobile cloud environment as an edge device, offering compute power to the connected devices with high speed wireless LAN connectivity. Implementation constraints of cloudlet faces severe challenges in-terms of its storage, network sharing, and VM provisioning. Moreover, the number of connected devices of the cloudlet and its load conditions vary drastically leading to unexpected bottleneck, in which case the availability to server becomes an issue. Therefore, a scalable cloudlet, Client Aware Scalable Cloudlet (CASC) is proposed with linear regression analysis, predicting the knowledge of expected load conditions for provisioning new virtual machines and to perform resource migration.

Abstract:

With the gradual application of mobile terminals such as cell phones in production and life, mobile cloud computing has become an important part of the internet. Different from traditional cloud computing task scheduling methods, mobile cloud computing task scheduling needs to consider not only task time minimization but also the lowest possible mobile device energy consumption. We propose an improved chicken swarm optimization (ICSO) algorithm applied to the task scheduling strategy under mobile cloud computing. First, we establish a multiobjective optimization strategy with minimum completion time and minimum energy consumption. Second, for the shortcomings of the chicken swarm optimization algorithm that easily fall into local optimums leading to algorithm stagnation, we use reverse learning initialization for the chicken flock population to expand the space of understanding and an adaptive strategy for learning factors and following coefficients. To illustrate the effectiveness of our algorithm in scheduling, we chose the number of mobile devices as 50, 100, and 150 and compared the improved chicken swarm optimization algorithm, ant colony algorithm, particle swarm algorithm, and chicken swarm optimization algorithm. The results illustrate that our proposed algorithm can reduce the task completion time, control the energy consumption of mobile devices well, and save energy.

Abstract:

Mobile devices can sense different types of radio signals. For example, broadcast signals. These broadcasted signals allow the device to establish a connection to the access point broadcasting it. Moreover, mobile devices can record different physical layer measurements. These measurements are an indication of the service quality at the point they were collected. These measurements data can be aggregated to form physical layer measurement maps. These maps are useful for several applications such as location fixing, navigation, access control, and evaluating network coverage and performance. Crowdsourcing can be an efficient way to create such maps. However, users in a crowdsourcing application tend to have different devices with different capabilities, which might impact the overall accuracy of the generated maps. In this paper, we propose a method to build physical layer measurements maps by crowdsourcing physical layer measurements, GPS locations, from participating mobile devices. The proposed system gives different weights to each data point provided by the participating devices based on the data source’s trustworthiness. Our tests showed that the different models of mobile devices return GPS location with different location accuracies. Consequently, when building the physical layer measurements maps our algorithm assigns a higher weight to data points coming from devices with higher GPS location accuracy. This allows accommodating a wide range of mobile devices with different capabilities in crowdsourcing applications. An experiment and a simulation were performed to test the proposed method. The results showed improvement in crowdsourced map accuracy when the proposed method is implemented.

Abstract:

The study identified how Malaysian matriculation students employ mobile devices for learning Chemistry, and the driving factors that influence their use of mobile devices for learning Chemistry. A qualitative case study approach was adopted in this study, in which interviews and student journals were the main instruments used for the data collection process. The study was conducted in a matriculation college, and all students were invited to participate in the study voluntarily. A total of 17 students who were actively using mobile devices to learn Chemistry were selected for individual and face-to-face interviews. The data were analyzed in a three-stage process to inductively identify the themes. The analysis revealed that matriculation students used mobile devices for referential and collaborative learning activities. They preferred to search the relevant learning resources on the web, and learn collaboratively with their peers or lecturers. Meanwhile, the driving factors of these mobile learning practices were primarily due the ability of mobile learning to overcome their learning difficulties, convenience, as well as the ability to provide a better user experience in the digital age. The findings of this study suggest that the mobile device is a viable social constructivism pedagogical tool for learning Chemistry. The lecturers and management of matriculation colleges can use the findings of this study as a basis to promote the adoption of mobile learning for Chemistry in the digital age.

Abstract:

With the fifth-generation (5G) networks, Mobile edge computing (MEC) is a promising paradigm to provide near computing and storage capabilities to smart mobile devices. In addition, mobile devices are most of the time battery dependent and energy constrained while they are characterized by their limited processing and storage capacities. Accordingly, these devices must offload a part of their heavy tasks that require a lot of computation and are energy consuming. This choice remains the only option in some circumstances, especially when the battery drains off. Besides, the local CPU frequency allocated to processing has a huge impact on devices energy consumption. Additionally, when mobile devices handle many tasks, the decision of the part to offload becomes critical. Actually, we must consider the wireless network state, the available processing resources at both sides, and particularly the local available battery power. In this paper, we consider a single mobile device that is energy constrained and that retains a list of heavy offloadable tasks that are delay constrained. Therefore, we formulated the corresponding optimization problem, and proposed a Simulated Annealing based heuristic solution scheme. In order to evaluate our solution, we carried out a set of simulation experiments. Finally, the obtained results in terms of energy are very encouraging. Moreover, our solution performs the offloading decisions within an acceptable and feasible timeframes.

Abstract:

Background Mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones are increasingly being used in health care in many developed countries. Nurses form the largest group in health care that uses electronic health records (EHRs) and their mobile versions. Mobile devices are suggested to promote nurses’ workflow, constant updating of patient information, and improve the communication within the health care team. However, little is known about their effect on nurses’ well-being. Objective This study aimed to examine the association between using a mobile version of the EHR and nurses’ perceived time pressure, stress related to information systems, and self-rated stress. Moreover, we examined whether mobile device use modifies the associations of EHR usability (ease of use and technical quality), experience in using EHRs, and number of systems in daily use with these well-being indicators. Methods This was a cross-sectional population-based survey study among 3610 Finnish registered nurses gathered in 2020. The aforesaid associations were examined using analyses of covariance and logistic regression adjusted for age, gender, and employment sector (hospital, primary care, social service, and other). Results Nurses who used the mobile version of their EHR had higher levels of time pressure (F1,3537=14.96, P<.001) and stress related to information systems (F1,3537=6.11, P=.01), compared with those who did not use mobile versions. Moreover, the interactions of mobile device use with experience in using EHRs (F1,3581=14.93, P<.001), ease of use (F1,3577=10.16, P=.001), and technical quality (F1,3577=6.45, P=.01) were significant for stress related to information systems. Inexperience in using EHRs, low levels of ease of use, and technical quality were associated with higher stress related to information systems and this association was more pronounced among those who used mobile devices. That is, the highest levels of stress related to information systems were perceived among those who used mobile devices as well as among inexperienced EHR users or those who perceived usability problems in their EHRs. Conclusions According to our results, it seems that at present mobile device use is not beneficial for the nurses’ well-being. In addition, mobile device use seems to intensify the negative effects of usability issues related to EHRs. In particular, inexperienced users of EHRs seem to be at a disadvantage when using mobile devices. Thus, we suggest that EHRs and their mobile versions should be improved such that they would be easier to use and would better support the nurses’ workflow (eg, improvements to problems related to small display, user interface, and data entry). Moreover, additional training on EHRs, their mobile versions, and workflow related to these should be provided to nurses.

Abstract:

The development of Mobile Mapping systems over the last decades allowed to quickly collect georeferenced spatial measurements by means of sensors mounted on mobile vehicles. Despite the large number of applications that can potentially take advantage of such systems, because of their cost their use is currently typically limited to certain specialized organizations, companies, and Universities. However, the recent worldwide diffusion of powerful mobile devices typically embedded with GPS, Inertial Navigation System (INS), and imaging sensors is enabling the development of small and compact mobile mapping systems. More specifically, this paper considers the development of a 3D reconstruction system based on photogrammetry methods for smartphones (or other similar mobile devices). The limited computational resources available in such systems and the users' request for real time reconstructions impose very stringent requirements on the computational burden of the 3D reconstruction procedure. This work takes advantage of certain recently developed mathematical tools (incremental singular value decomposition) and of photogrammetry techniques (structure from motion, Tomasi–Kanade factorization) to access very computationally efficient Euclidian 3D reconstruction of the scene. Furthermore, thanks to the presence of instrumentation for localization embedded in the device, the obtained 3D reconstruction can be properly georeferenced.

Abstract:

Background Mobile computing and communication technologies in health services and information (so-called mHealth) have modified the traditional approach in the follow-up of patients with implantable cardiac devices, increased patient engagement and empowerment, reduced healthcare costs and improved patients' outcome. Recent developments in mobile technology, with the introduction of smartphone-compatible devices that can measure various health parameters and transfer automatically generated data, have increased the potential application of remote monitoring and the interest towards mHealth. However, little is known about the patients' interest and expectations of this new technology. Objective The patients' interest in the possibility of receiving data from their implantable cardiac device, clinical and health advice via remote monitoring on their smartphones were investigated. Methods A questionnaire entitled ‘Expectations for future possibility of self-management of device data’ (Likert scale scored) was submitted to 300 consecutive implantable cardiac device outpatients. The questionnaire was focused on collecting patients’ expectations in receiving direct information regarding their implantable cardiac device status (item 1, five questions), their own clinical status (item 2, seven questions) and advice on healthy lifestyle promotion (item 3, nine questions). Patient characteristics associated with greater interest towards mHealth were also investigated. Results Questionnaires were completed by 268 patients (221 men, aged 69 ± 14 years). The Cronbach test reported an alpha value of 0.98 for item 1, 0.94 for item 2 and 0.97 for item 3. Patients declared to be mainly interested in the device interventions (62%) and in severe arrhythmia occurrence (61%), followed by data on heart failure severity (54%) and their performed physical activity (48%). Patients showed very little interest in ECG tracing (37%), but the lowest interest was expressed towards healthy lifestyle promotion advice (<40%). A higher education degree and the presence of the caregiver positively affected the interest towards remote monitoring information ( P < 0.001). Conclusions The patients' interests were mainly directed at receiving information related to technical data of the implantable cardiac device and not to the overall management of the disease, underlying the insufficient awareness of patients towards the key role of self-control health status and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle.

Abstract:

Abstract – In the era of technology, learning can be supported with mobile devices inside and outside of the classroom. In the hope of taking advantage of technology advances, teachers worldwide have integrated technologies into teaching to effectively deliver lesson content and address students’ needs. However, few non-native learners are exposed to mobile devices to optimize self-studying English outside the classroom. Thus, the present paper conducts a case study to look into mobile devices’ applications to enhance self-studying English as a foreign language. The study participants included 26 Japanese and Vietnamese learners divided into two groups over 15 weeks. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used to analyze and compare the results with R-Studio statistics software. The present study sought to encourage collaboration and foster the autonomy of learners with mobile devices’ assistance as supporting language self-learning tools. The findings of the present research will be discussed in terms of the efficiency and potentials of mobile devices as supportive tools outside of classroom activities among Vietnamese and Japanese students as non-native learners of English.

Abstract:

Background The use of mobile devices in hospital care constantly increases. However, smartphones and tablets have not yet widely become official working equipment in medical care. Meanwhile, the parallel use of private and official devices in hospitals is common. Medical staff use smartphones and tablets in a growing number of ways. This mixture of devices and how they can be used is a challenge to persons in charge of defining strategies and rules for the usage of mobile devices in hospital care. Objective Therefore, we aimed to examine the status quo of physicians’ mobile device usage and concrete requirements and their future expectations of how mobile devices can be used. Methods We performed a web-based survey among physicians in 8 German university hospitals from June to October 2019. The online survey was forwarded by hospital management personnel to physicians from all departments involved in patient care at the local sites. Results A total of 303 physicians from almost all medical fields and work experience levels completed the web-based survey. The majority regarded a tablet (211/303, 69.6%) and a smartphone (177/303, 58.4%) as the ideal devices for their operational area. In practice, physicians are still predominantly using desktop computers during their worktime (mean percentage of worktime spent on a desktop computer: 56.8%; smartphone: 12.8%; tablet: 3.6%). Today, physicians use mobile devices for basic tasks such as oral (171/303, 56.4%) and written (118/303, 38.9%) communication and to look up dosages, diagnoses, and guidelines (194/303, 64.0%). Respondents are also willing to use mobile devices for more advanced applications such as an early warning system (224/303, 73.9%) and mobile electronic health records (211/303, 69.6%). We found a significant association between the technical affinity and the preference of device in medical care (χs2=53.84, P<.001) showing that with increasing self-reported technical affinity, the preference for smartphones and tablets increases compared to desktop computers. Conclusions Physicians in German university hospitals have a high technical affinity and positive attitude toward the widespread implementation of mobile devices in clinical care. They are willing to use official mobile devices in clinical practice for basic and advanced mobile health uses. Thus, the reason for the low usage is not a lack of willingness of the potential users. Challenges that hinder the wider adoption of mobile devices might be regulatory, financial and organizational issues, and missing interoperability standards of clinical information systems, but also a shortage of areas of application in which workflows are adapted for (small) mobile devices.

Abstract:

179 Background: Mobile devices provide individuals with rapid and frequent access to electronic patient portals. How patients use this growing and widespread technology to review test results and communicate with providers is not known. Methods: Retrospective study of patients enrolled in the MyChart electronic health portal associated with the EPIC electronic medical record in the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center. We recorded type of portal access according to year and patient characteristics. Associations between patient characteristics and type of portal access were tested using Mann-Whitney test, Chi-square test, and linear Gaussian regression models. Results: Since the availability of mobile access in 2012, 2,524 patients accessed MyChart from a mobile device at least once, accounting for 291,526 mobile logins. The proportion of patients with mobile MyChart logins increased from 4% in 2012 to 13% in 2017 ( P= 0.004). Among these patients, the proportion of logins from mobile devices increased from 22% to 72% ( P< 0.001). Mobile access occurred more frequently among younger ( P< 0.001), black ( P= 0.002), and Hispanic ( P= 0.004) patients. In 2017, among patients who accessed MyChart from mobile devices at least once, those under age 40 years used the mobile application for over 90% of logins; those over age 60 years used the mobile application for 65% of logins. Black and Hispanic patients who used mobile MyChart access did so for approximately 80% of logins, compared to 70% of logins for non-Hispanic white patients. Before 2012, patients who went on to use mobile access averaged about five more logins per year than did mobile application never-users. While login frequency increased for both groups, the change was far greater for mobile application users. After 2012, total portal login frequency increased approximately 110% among patients who used mobile access, compared to 25% among non-users ( P< 0.001). Conclusions: Mobile access to electronic health portals has increased patient portal use, particularly among traditionally underserved populations. How this widely and immediately available technology impacts patient and practice experiences warrants further study.

Abstract:

Smart mobile devices and cloud computing are widely used today. While mobile and portable devices have different capabilities, architectures, operating systems, and communication channels than one another, government data are distributed over heterogeneous systems. This paper proposes a 3-tier mediation framework providing single application to manage all governmental services. The framework is based on private cloud computing for adapting the content of Mobile-Government (M-Government) services using Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Derive Unique Key Per Transaction (DUKPT). The 3-layers in the framework are: presence, integration, and homogenization. The presence layer is responsible for adapting the content with regard to four contexts: device, personal, location, and connectivity contexts. The integration layer, which is hosted in a private cloud server, is responsible for integrating heterogeneous data sources. The homogenization layer is responsible for converting data into XML format. The flexibility of the mediation and XML provides an adaptive environment to stream data based on the capabilities of the device that sends the query to the system.

Abstract:

Technology has played a critical role during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite affording a safe way for people to connect with others, the potential for problematic device usage (e.g., overuse, addiction) should be considered. The goal of this study was to examine mobile device use during the COVID-19 pandemic among rural and urban people in Canada. Based on an online survey conducted in the summer of 2021 in British Columbia (n = 465), participants self-reported spending more hours per day (M = 8.35 h) using technology during the pandemic compared to prior (M = 6.02 h), with higher increases among urban participants (p < 0.001). Mobile device usage scores were highest for reasons of social connectedness and productivity, with no rural/urban differences; however, urban participants reported higher use of mobile devices for their mental well-being (p = 0.001), but also reported higher, continuous use (p < 0.001), addiction (p < 0.001), and detrimental impacts on their physical health (p < 0.001) compared to rural participants. Because urban participants were more vulnerable to mobile device overuse and addiction during the pandemic, researchers and policy makers should consider the ongoing role and positive/negative impacts of mobile device use, paying particular attention to urban populations.

Abstract:

In the next generation of computing, Mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) will play a very important role in the Internet of Things (IoT). The MANET is a kind of wireless networks that are self-organizing and auto connected in a decentralized system. Every device in MANET can be moved freely from one location to another in any direction. They can create a network with their neighbors’ smart devices and forward data to another device. The IoT-Cloud-MANET framework of smart devices is composed of IoT, cloud computing, and MANET. This framework can access and deliver cloud services to the MANET users through their smart devices in the IoT framework where all computations, data handling, and resource management are performed. The smart devices can move from one location to another within the range of the MANET network. Various MANETs can connect to the same cloud, they can use cloud service in a real time. For connecting the smart device of MANET to cloud needs integration with mobile apps. My main contribution in this research links a new methodology for providing secure communication on the internet of smart devices using MANET Concept in 5G. The research methodology uses the correct and efficient simulation of the desired study and can be implemented in a framework of the Internet of Things in 5G.

Abstract:

The concern of companies to keep sensitive data protected from improper access and information leaking has grown a lot. The constant cases of industrial espionage and information leakage regarding companies are an evidence of the need to apply strict information security policies, improve data protection and allow an auditing track. With the evolution of technology, the usage of personal mobile devices increased in organizations (BYOD - Bring Your Own Device), which allows the employees to use their own mobile devices at work. This paper addresses the current challenges faced by IT companies and teams in protecting access to this kind of information, and what strategies are used to mitigate, to track leaks, and reduce the misuse of documents in the organization. Considering the scenario evaluated, a framework with good Information Security practices based on the ISO 27002:2005 and the practical controls of the Center of Internet Security (CIS) is proposed, associating good practices with the needs of BYOD’s culture. The framework suggested in this paper reinforces the necessity for a standardization of the rules of information security in the process of adoption of BYOD’s culture, following the life cycle of the user with his personal mobile device in the company.

Abstract:

Introduction: Touch-screen mobile phones/devices (TMPs/Ds) are increasingly used in hospitals. They may act as a mobile reservoir for microbial pathogens. The rates of microbial contamination of TMPs/Ds and keypad mobile phones (KMPs) with respect to different variables including use by healthcare workers (HCWs)/non-HCWs and the demographic characteristics of users were investigated. Methodology: A total of 205 mobile phones/devices were screened for microbial contamination: 76 devices belonged to HCWs and 129 devices belonged to the non-HCW group. By rubbing swabs to front screen, back, keypad, and metallic surfaces of devices, 444 samples were collected. Results: Of 205 mobile phones/devices, 143 (97.9%) of the TMPs/Ds and 58 (98.3%) of the KMPs were positive for microbial contamination, and there were no significant differences in contamination rates between these groups, although TMPs/Ds had significantly higher microbial load than KMPs (p <0.05). The significant difference in this analysis was attributable to the screen size of mobile phones ≥ 5”. Microbial contamination rates increased significantly as phone size increased (p <0.05). Higher numbers of coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CNS) were isolated from KMPs than TMPs/Ds (p = 0.049). The incidence of Enterococcus spp. was higher on the KMPs of HCWs, and methicillin resistant CNS was higher from the TMPs/Ds of non-HCWs (p <0.05). Isolation of CNS, Streptococcus spp. and Escherichia coli was higher from the TMPs/Ds of HCWs (p <0.05). Conclusions: We found no significant difference between TMP/Ds and KMPs in terms of microbial contamination, but TMP/Ds harboured more colonies and total microbial counts increased with screen size.

Abstract:

The use of mobile devices inside and outside formal settings is often associated to innovative practices in the design of language learning activities. This often implies the reconceptualization of language learning tasks and of the role of the teacher in the mobile classroom. In order to investigate current research and practices in secondary and higher education a review of recent studies in the field of MALL has been undertaken with the main aim of identifying main trends, implementation practices and research gaps.This paper presents a synthesis of the literature by analysing the four different MALL categories, as presented in Pegrum (2014) and selecting a series of case studies and trends that may be implemented in various educational settings with a specific focus on the use of the iPad in second language settings. The review sought to provide a picture of the various options of MALL task-design and recent implementation practices in secondary and higher education using a specific tablet device. General findings show that many studies are more descriptive than innovative and advocate the implementation of larger and long-term research studies on how mobile devices, and the iPad in particular, are impacting language teaching and learning.

Abstract:

The development of connected health devices has allowed for a more accurate assessment of a person’s state under free-living conditions. In this work, we use two mobile sensing devices and investigate the correlation between individual’s resting metabolic rate (RMR) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) exposure levels. A total of 17 healthy, young, and sedentary office workers were recruited, measured for RMR with a mobile indirect calorimetry (IC) device, and compared with their corresponding predicted RMR values from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’ recommended epidemiological equation, the Mifflin–St Jeor equation (MSJE). Individual differences in the RMR values from the IC device and the epidemiological equation were found, and the subjects’ RMRs were classified as normal, high, or low based on a cut-off of ±200 kcal/day difference with respect to the predicted value. To study the cause of the difference, VOCs exposure levels of each participant’s daytime working environment and nighttime resting environment were assessed using a second mobile sensing device for VOCs exposure detection. The results showed that all sedentary office workers had a low VOCs exposure level (<2 ppmC), and there was no obvious correlation between VOCs exposure and the RMR difference. However, an additional participant who was a worker in an auto repair shop, showed high VOCs exposure with respect to the sedentary office worker population and a significant difference between measured and predicted RMR, with a low RMR of 500 kcal/day difference. The mobile sensing devices have been demonstrated to be suitable for the assessment of direct information of human health–environment interactions at free-living conditions.

At present, a lot of researchers have proposed a large number of schemes for the authentication of the user in MEC. However, there is no effective and lightweight solution for authentication among users, edge devices and cloud server. In this paper, an efficient three-party authentication and key agreement protocol without using bilinear pairings is designed. The proposed protocol realized authentication among users, edge devices and cloud server, and at the same time, three parties conduct key agreement to obtain a common session key. The security analysis shows that our protocol is secure and meets the security attributes such as session-key security, forward secrecy. The experiment shows that the computation cost is low in this protocol.

Abstract:

PURPOSE Mobile devices provide individuals with rapid and frequent access to electronic patient portals. We investigated how oncology patients use this technology to review test results and communicate with providers. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective study of patients enrolled in the MyChart electronic health portal associated with the Epic electronic medical record at the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center from 2012 to 2017. We recorded type of portal access according to year and patient characteristics. Associations among patient characteristics and types of portal access were tested using Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test, and linear Gaussian regression models. RESULTS Since the availability of a mobile device application in 2012, 2,524 patients with cancer accessed MyChart from a mobile device at least once, which accounted for 291,526 mobile log-ins. The number of patients with MyChart mobile application log-ins increased from 4% in 2012 to 13% in 2017 ( P = .004). Among these patients, the median proportion of log-ins that occurred through mobile device use increased from 22% to 72% during this time period ( P < .001). Mobile access occurred more frequently among younger ( P < .001), black ( P = .002), and Hispanic ( P = .004) patients. Since 2012, total portal log-in frequency increased approximately 110% among patients who used the mobile application compared with 25% among those who did not use the mobile application ( P < .001). CONCLUSION Mobile access to electronic health portals has increased patient portal use, particularly among traditionally underserved populations. How this widely and immediately available technology affects patient expectations and experiences warrants additional study.

Abstract:

Mobile edge computing (MEC) has been considered to provide computation services near the edge of mobile networks, while the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is becoming an important integrated component to extend service coverage. In this paper, we consider a UAV-enabled MEC with binary computation offloading and energy constraints, where an energy-limited UAV is employed as an aerial edge server and each task of devices is either executing locally or offloading to the aerial edge server as a whole. To provide fairness among different ground devices, we aim to maximize the minimum computation throughput among all devices via the joint design of computing mode selection and UAV trajectory as well as resource allocation. The optimization problem is formulated as a mixed-integer non-linear problem consisting of binary variables, which is difficult to tackle. By employing deductive penalty function to penalize the effect of non-binary solution, we develop an efficient iterative algorithm to obtain a suboptimal solution via leveraging the penalty successive convex approximation (P-SCA) method and difference of two convex (D.C.) optimization framework, where the algorithm is guaranteed to converge. Extensive simulations are conducted and the results with different system parameters show that the proposed joint design algorithm can improve the computation throughput by about 40% compared to other benchmark schemes.

Abstract:

The progress of Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor (CNTFET) devices has facilitated the trimness of mobile phones, computers and all other electronic devices. CNTFET devices contribute to model these electronics instruments that require designing the devices. This research consists of the design and verification of the CNTFET device's small signal model. Scattering parameters (S-parameters) is extracted from the CNTFET model to construct equivalent small model circuit. Current sources, capacitors and resistors are involved to evaluate this equivalent circuit. S-parameters and small signal models are elaborated to analyze using a technique to form the small signal equivalent circuit model. In this design modeling process, at first intrinsic device's Y-parameters are determined. After that series of impedances are calculated. At last, Y-parameters model are transformed to add parasitic capacitances. The analysis result shows the acquiring high frequency performances are obtained from this equivalent circuit.
