Résumé :

This thesis maps the growth of the use of internet technologies in randomised controlled trials in health care and public health, and explores the methodological and ethical issues that arise from their use from the perspective of researchers and participants. Online clinical trials are growing in number, and claim to offer benefits for researchers and participants, providing solutions to some of the inherent problems associated with traditional trials. However, little is known about how many internet-based trials have been conducted, what methodological research has been undertaken, or what impact the new technologies might have on researcher or participant experience. The thesis followed a step-by-step approach, using information science, research synthesis, and qualitative methods. The creation of a database of internet-based clinical trials established that they have grown rapidly in number, use internet technologies primarily to deliver an intervention, predominantly in behavioural, mental health, or life-style public health settings. A two-stage systematic review, comprising a descriptive map and a qualitative synthesis, established what is known about the methods, conduct or participant experience in internet-based trials. A qualitative primary study was then carried out, based on the findings of the review, to further explore the views, attitudes and experiences of researchers, participants and the public, into the motivations, benefits or barriers to taking part in internet-based clinical trials. Themes emerging from the research suggest complex interactions between design and technology, particularly in the area of participant characteristics and choice; convenience versus intrusion; impact of time and place; the pace of change and impact of societal changes in the use of technology. A range of ethical considerations emerged, including the nature of informed consent, ethical approval, and the need for a systematic approach to patient and public involvement. Recommendations are made to help inform and improve research practice in the digital age.

Résumé :

Internet Memes transverse and sometimes transcend cyberspace on the back of impossibly cute LOLcats speaking mangled English and the snarky remarks of Image Macro characters always on the lookout for someone to undermine. No longer the abstract notion of a cultural gene that Dawkins (2006) introduced in the late 1970s, memes have now become synonymous with a particular brand of vernacular language that internet users engage by posting, sharing and remixing digital content as they communicate jokes, emotions and opinions. For the purpose of this research the language of Internet Memes is understood as visual, succinct and capable of inviting active engagement by users who encounter digital content online that exhibits said characteristics. Internet Memes were explored through an Arts-Based Educational Research framework by first identifying the conventions that shape them and then interrogating these conventions during two distinct research phases. In the first phase the researcher, as a doctoral student in art and visual culture education, engaged class readings and assignments by generating digital content that not only responded to the academic topics at hand but did so through forms associated with Internet Memes like Image Macros and Animated GIFs. In the second phase the researcher became a meme literacy facilitator as learners in three different age-groups were led in the reading, writing and remixing of memes during a month-long summer art camp where they were also exposed to other art-making processes such as illustration, acting and sculpture. Each group of learners engaged age-appropriate meme types: 1) the youngest group, 6 and 7 year-olds, wrote Emoji Stories and Separated at Birth memes; 2) the middle group, 8-10 year-olds, worked with Image Macros and Perception memes, 3) while the oldest group, 11-13 year-olds, generated Image Macros and Animated GIFs. The digital content emerging from both research phases was collected as data and analyzed through a hybrid of Memetics, Actor-Network Theory, Object Oriented Ontology, Remix Theory and Glitch Studies as the researcher shifted shapes yet again and became a Research Jockey sampling freely from each field of study. A case is made for Internet Memes to be understood as an actor-network where meme collectives, individual cybernauts, software and source material are all actants interrelating and making each other enact collective agencies through shared authorships. Additionally specific educational contexts are identified where the language of Internet Memes can serve to incorporate technology, storytelling, visual thinking and remix practices into art and visual culture education. Finally, the document reporting on the research expands on the hermeneutics of Internet Memes and the phenomenological experiences they elicit that are otherwise absent from traditional scholarly prose. Chapter by chapter the dissertation was crafted as a journey from the academic to the whimsical, from the lecture hall to the image board (where Internet Memes were born), from the written word to the remixed image as a visual language that is equal parts form and content that emerges and culminates in a concluding chapter composed almost entirely of popular Internet Meme types.

Résumé :

This thesis examines the role of internet use in migrants’ participation in, and articulation of, rising Chinese modernity. It explores the ways in which transnational subjectivity is produced through this process. It investigates how migrants’ various uses of the internet construct and make sense of their connections with China. It demonstrates a new generation of subjectivity among Chinese transnationals that is tech-savvy, modern and triumphal – a subjectivity embedded in the exchange between the (macro) political economy of China’s rise and the (micro) everyday practices surrounding the internet. This is an ethnographic study focusing on an emerging population within the broader Chinese diaspora; that is, mainland Chinese professionals who migrated for higher education and professional training in recent years as a result of China’s reform and economic power. This study locates its enquiries in three offline-grounded institutions – ethnic organisations, states and families. These institutions pre-date the internet but increasingly turn to the technology for transnational and local connections. Regarding Chinese organisations, utilising the internet to build co-ethnic sociality is read as a symbolic practice that signals the users’ belonging to a technologically-advanced, mobile and wealthy sector within the broader idea of the Chinese community. On the role of the state, internet use provides new modes of migrants’ access to China’s state-led development projects, thus opening up new spaces for the state’s disciplinary power to be exercised. This digital governance is enabled by a discourse of Chinese triumphalism constructed by both the state and the migrants. Regarding families, the digitalisation of the gendered division of labour in transnational families provides evidence of the segmented nature of China’s digital modernity and disrupts the triumphal portrait of transnational modernity constructed among the elite-stratum migrants. Overall, this study develops a dialogue between two literatures. On the one hand, it adds to diasporic internet studies by introducing an offline-grounded, geographically-informed approach and by bringing transnational modernity into its research agenda. On the other hand, it draws on Nonini and Ong’s (1997) theorisation of Chinese transnationalism as alternative modernity and further adds to this theorisation with a focus on internet technology and a discussion of the impacts of China’s rise. It contributes to human geography by revisiting a key concept in this discipline – transnationalism – with a discussion of the interweaving impacts of information technology and the geopolitical shift of China’s rising modernity.

Résumé :

Background Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the leakage of urine when coughing, sneezing, or on exertion. It affects 10-35% of women, and can impair quality of life (QOL). First-line treatment is pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT). However, access barriers and embarrassment may prevent women from seeking care. There is a need for new, easily accessible ways to provide treatment. Aim To evaluate the treatment outcome, patient satisfaction, and cost-effectiveness of an Internet- based treatment programme for SUI. Methods We recruited 250 community-dwelling women aged 18-70 years, with SUI ≥1/week via our website. Participants were randomised to 3 months of PFMT with either an Internet-based programme (n=124), or a programme sent by post (n=126). We had no-face-to face contact with the participants, but the Internet group received individually tailored e-mail support from an urotherapist. Treatment outcome was evaluated after 4 months with intention-to-treat analysis. After treatment, we telephoned a strategic selection of participants (Internet n=13, postal n=8) to interview them about their experiences, and analysed the results according to grounded theory principles. We also performed a cost-utility analysis with a 1-year societal perspective, comparing the treatment programmes with each other and with a no-treatment alternative. To scrutinize our measure of QOL, we performed a reliability study of the ICIQ-LUTSqol questionnaire. Results Participants in both intervention groups achieved highly significant improvements (p<0.001) with large effect sizes (>0.8) in the primary outcomes symptom score (ICIQ-UI SF: mean change Internet 3.4 [SD 3.4], postal 2.9 [3.1]), and condition-specific QOL (ICIQ-LUTSqol: mean change Internet 4.8 [SD 6.1], postal 4.6 [SD 6.7]); however, the differences between the groups were not significant. Compared with the postal group, more participants in the Internet group perceived they were much or very much improved after treatment (40.9%, vs. 26.5%, p=0.01), reduced their use of incontinence aids (59.5% vs. 41.4%, p=0.02), and indicated satisfaction with the treatment programme (84.8% vs. 62.9%, p<0.001). Results from the interviews fell into three categories: about life with SUI and barriers to seeking care; about the treatments and the patient-provider relationship; about the sense of empowerment many women experienced. A core category emerged: “Acknowledged but not exposed.” The extra cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained through use of the Internet-based programme compared with the postal programme was €200. The extra cost per QALY for the Internet-based programme compared with no treatment was €30,935. The condition-specific questionnaire ICIQ-LUTSqol is reliable in women with SUI, with high degrees of agreement between overall scores (Intraclass correlation coefficient 0.95, p<0.001). Conclusion Internet-based treatment for SUI is a new, effective, and patient-appreciated treatment alternative, which can increase access to care in a sustainable way.

Résumé :

Yes
We present a targeted review of recent developments and advances in digital selection procedures (DSPs) with particular attention to advances in internet-based techniques. By reviewing the emergence of DSPs in selection research and practice, we highlight five main categories of methods (online applications, online psychometric testing, digital interviews, gamified assessment and social media). We discuss the evidence base for each of these DSP groups, focusing on construct and criterion validity, and applicant reactions to their use in organizations. Based on the findings of our review, we present a critique of the evidence base for DSPs in industrial, work and organizational psychology and set out an agenda for advancing research. We identify pressing gaps in our understanding of DSPs, and ten key questions to be answered. Given that DSPs are likely to depart further from traditional nondigital selection procedures in the future, a theme in this agenda is the need to establish a distinct and specific literature on DSPs, and to do so at a pace that reflects the speed of the underlying technological advancement. In concluding, we, therefore, issue a call to action for selection researchers in work and organizational psychology to commence a new and rigorous multidisciplinary programme of scientific study of DSPs.

Résumé :

This is a practice-based research thesis situated in the research context of the 'Internet of Things', and critiques contemporary theoretical discourse related to the 21st century turn of connecting everyday objects to the World Wide Web. In the last decade we have seen the 'Internet of Things' articulated predominately through three commercial design fictions, each a response to the shift towards pervasive", "ubiquitous" (Weiser 1991), or "context-ware" (Schilit, 1994) computing; where we inhabit spaces with objects capable of sensing, recording and relaying data about themselves and their environments. Through reflecting upon these existing design fictions, through a new combination of theories and practice-based research that embodies them, this thesis proposes a recovery to understanding the role of objects in the 'Internet of Things', which this author believes has been lost since its conception in the mid 2000s. In 2000, HP Labs presented Cooltown, which addressed what HP identified as the 'convergence of Web technology, wireless networks, and portable client devices provides'. Cooltown's primary discourse was to provide 'new design opportunities for computer/communications systems, through an infrastructure to support "web presence" for people, places and things.' (Anders 1998; Barton & Kindberg 2002). IBM's Smarter Planet followed this in 2008 and shifted importance from the act of connecting objects to understanding the value of data as it flows between these objects in a network (Castells 1996; Sterling 2005; Latour 2005). Finally, Cisco presented The Internet of Everything in 2012 and moved the argument on one stage further, identifying that the importance of connected objects lies in the sum of their communication across silos of networks, where data can provide potential insight from which you can improve services (Bleecker 2006). Despite these design and theoretical fictions, the affordances of the Internet of Things first proposed in the mid 2000s has regressed from data to product, driven largely by unchanged discourse argued by those designers at its conception and also the enticement of being the next Google acquisition; instead of pigeons reporting on the environmental conditions of a city (Da Costa 2006), we have thermostats controllable from your smartphone (www.scottishpower.co.uk/connect). Therefore the aim of this thesis is to re-examine the initial potential of the Internet of Things, which is tested through a series of design interventions as research for art and design, (produced as part of my EPSRC funded doctoral studies on the Tales of Things and Electronic Memory research project and also whilst employed as a research assistant on two EPSRC funded research programmes of work Sixth Sense Transport, and The Connected High Street), to understand how we use data to allow an alternative discourse to emerge in order to recover the role of a networked object, rather than producing prototypical systems.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

This investigation follows a philosophically interpretive approach on how the web developer developed Web-based Information Systems (WBIS) in a continuously changing higher education organisation. The investigation focused on emergence within the organisation and the resultant problems this gives the web developer in developing WBIS. The web developer used an action research methodology to investigate the emergent higher education organisation and its need for web-based aesthetics & internet speed. This approach was designed by the action researcher to assist both the web developer and manager in developing WBIS within emergent organisations. It is also designed to address a number of major constraining factors placed on the web developer. These included: time constraint, web-based aesthetics, internet speed, emergent aspects, methodology issues and accommodating planned organisational change. The interpretation of these constraining factors gained through the theory of deferred action enabled the action researcher to understand, interpret and create associations to explain the WBIS development process. The web developer had to defer the design process at several points because of unexpected events occurring in the organisation and take deferred action. As a result the Kadar Matrix was created and used by the web developer to manage the constraining factors. The Kadar Matrix has extended the theory of deferred action (ToDA) by implementing its constructs in the analytical tool, Kadar Matrix, for WBIS development. This is a modification of theory for practice. The research further identified that deferred action is necessary for the web developer in emergent organisations.

Résumé :

Recent research indicates that the Internet (or Net) is currently being used at many post-secondary institutions in support of traditional, classroom-based instruction. From 1994 to 2002, the percentage of post-secondary classes using the Web as a research tool and E-mail as a method of communication has increased almost ten fold. An extensive literature on the evaluation of the Internet as an educational technology has developed in recent years; however, there are some gaps that need to be filled to provide a more complete understanding of the Internet and its use by post-secondary students. First, most of the studies focus primarily on student usage of the Net, and less so on the value (or the advantages and disadvantages) and the utility (or usefulness) associated with that usage. Second, many of these studies make a distinction between the research and communication functions of the Internet. While I argue that this is an appropriate distinction, many examine one function or the other only and not both simultaneously. The central research problem that this study addresses is helping to fill those two gaps in the evaluation literature by examining in detail student usage, value and utility of the Net as a research and/or communication tool for post-secondary students in support of classroom-based instruction. Drawing upon work from the fields of media studies, learning theory, and theories of communication, I establish a "Net as Tool" framework and adopt a uses and gratifications approach to examine student use of the Net. The three main inter-related concepts of usage, value and utility are used as organizing themes for the study, and I designed and developed a survey instrument to gather original quantitative data from post-secondary students in both Canada and Australia to fully examine those concepts. Two focus group sessions were designed to supplement this quantitative data with qualitative findings (and to generate more in-depth insights into student usage, value and utility of the Net as a research and/or communication tool). The results presented in this study have both theoretical and practical importance. In regards to the theoretical side, I have identified the underlying dimensions of usage, value, and utility, and highlighted what makes the Net valuable and useful as a research and/or communication tool. Additionally, I have identified the factors which are related to usage, value, and utility, and explored the inter-related nature of those three concepts. I concluded my study with an outline of the importance of the skill of digital literacy so that students can cope effectively with the online environment. These findings are significant because they help to fill some specific gaps in the evaluation knowledge of the Net in post-secondary education. In addition, I have developed a practical strategy which suggests how the Net could be used most effectively by students as a research and/or communication tool in support of classroom based instruction. The areas addressed by the strategy include access, infrastructure, technical support, training, integration into the curriculum, and appropriate use of the tool. The overall strategy is important because it contributes to our understanding of the Net as an educational tool, and it outlines ways to address the issue of the digital divide within post-secondary education. It is hoped the strategy will be useful to training staff, post-secondary administrators, instructors, and students.

Résumé :

The purpose of this research is to identify longitudinal trends relevant to online learning research within 15 highly regarded, peer-reviewed publications in educational technology and online education. Online instruction has become a popular form of education delivery across academic institutions. A review of literature on the topic shows that missing from the corpus is a trend analysis focused in online learning research across multiple journals. Previous efforts of establishing trends in online learning are narrow in focus using only one journal or a shortened time frame. This metatrend analysis employed text mining techniques to examine twenty years (1997-2016) of published research in an effort to establish past, present and emerging trends within published literature. A general bibliometric analysis is offered highlighting prolific and yearly journal publications. Meaningful trending terms used during the twenty-year time period were identified and analyzed. A cluster analysis performed on the extracted data provides a single layer taxonomy regarding online learning research. Time trends within the clusters were identified to offer a more in-depth analysis. Trends revealed during the research indicate a changing relationship of online learning and distance education. A strong emphasis on students and learning was noted as a consistent trend throughout the literature. Emerging categories recognized include openness and mobility, game-based learning, and MOOCs. The intention of the research is to offer an overview of trends in online learning research in order to contribute to the ongoing dialogue concerning the development and delivery of online education.

Résumé :

This investigation examined the effects of instruction, within the context of the Headsprout Reading Basics program, on the oral language and early reading skills of at-risk preschool students, and their teachers perceptions of the program. Random assignment was used in a pretest-posttest, control group design to assess the effects of this program. Thirty-one students, across two preschool settings, participated in the experimental group, and 31 students participated in the comparison group. The experimental group received instruction through the Headsprout Reading Basics program, which teaches the alphabetic principle, decoding strategies, print awareness, vocabulary, and deriving meaning from texts. The comparison group received instruction through Millies Math House, which teaches numbers, shapes, counting, sizes, patterns, quantities, sequences, addition, and subtraction. Daily instruction was provided for 30 minutes over a period of eight weeks. Oral language skills were measured using the Test of Language Development-Primary: 3rd edition (TOLD-3) and early reading skills were measured using the Test of Early Reading Ability- 3rd edition (TERA-3). Teachers and teachers assistants perceptions of the Headsprout Reading Basics program also were assessed through analysis of their responses to a structured, open-ended interview. Results indicated that students who received instruction through the Headsprout Reading Basics program exhibited gains in oral language and early reading skills that were statistically higher than the students who did not receive this instruction. Effect sizes associated with these gains were found to be large. Examination of the effects of gender, and minutes of instruction received did not yield significant statistical differences. Analysis of interview data indicated that the teachers and teachers assistants viewed Headsprout Reading Basics as a desirable way to increase the oral language and early reading skills of their students and would continue to use the program if given the opportunity. Implications for future research are discussed.

Résumé :

This phenomenological study was implemented within a rural community in the southeastern area of the United States. The purpose of the study was to examine perceptions of prior graduates in order to identify specific effects of limited technology and Internet access in public schools. No related investigation has occurred within the research setting. To achieve this purpose, the researcher acquired perceptual data from 33 adults who attended the local high school during School Years 2003-2004 through 2012-2013. Data were collected through the administration of an anonymous questionnaire. Several primary findings were derived from the study. First, although participants did not perceive limited access to technology and Internet access while in high school, the collective perception was that technology was minimally integrated within high school instruction and that the high school experience insufficiently prepared students for the role of technology within the college setting. Second, technology was not fully utilized for acquiring information involving college or career selection. Third, participants reported the lack of availability or dependability of Internet service in the rural areas. Recommendations for educational practice, based on findings of the study, are to provide professional development for all teachers within the high school to increase the integration of technology within instruction and to provide professional development for teachers and school guidance counselors for the purpose of increasing the use of technology when assisting students in acquiring college and career information. Recommendations for future research, also based on findings, are (a) to determine how participants acquired a high level of technology skill for college with the limited use of technology in high school and the minimal Internet access within homes, (b) to engage in further research to assist school guidance counselors in acquiring the skills to recognize and provide initial treatment involving the onset of Internet addiction among students, and (c) for city council members and leaders within the private sector to research possible options for acquiring more dependable Internet service within the outlying rural areas so that all residents can enjoy the potential benefits of current technology.

Résumé :

In addition to the ever-changing demands of the workforce and student demands, the community college must address how performance and withdrawal are affected by traditional classroom instructional delivery and the inclusion of alternate instructional delivery settings such as internet-based approaches in courses. This quantitative study was conducted to provide evidence-based research to a community college in Northeast Tennessee. Specifically, this research study focused on an important aspect of instructional course delivery methods: What are the relationships between traditional classroom and internet-based course instructional delivery methods in relation to withdrawal and grade-distribution patterns for specified courses (English 1010, Math 1710, Biology 2010, and Business CSCI 1100) at a community college in Northeast Tennessee? Course instructional delivery practice is expensive, regardless of the course delivery method. The community college officials wish to best use their resources and instructional delivery practices. Student withdrawals have a significant effect on the fiscal stability of an institution of higher education. Reducing the number of students who withdraw from a course is instrumental to positive financial health and educational program practices. In this quantitative study, data were gathered through a method of secondary analysis by a community college in Northeast Tennessee and distributed to the researcher for compilation and statistical analysis. Independent samples t tests were used to evaluate whether the mean grade point average and percentage of students withdrawing in English 1010, Math 1710, Biology 2010, and Business CSCI 1100 differed between traditional classroom course sections and internet-based course sections taught in the same academic period. Findings from this study indicated that instructional delivery method does not significantly influence mean grade point averages, and students tend to perform consistently regardless of the instructional delivery setting; however, percentage of student withdrawals vary between instructional delivery methods with the analysis of Biology 2010 finding that traditional classroom course sections had higher withdrawals than did the internet-based course sections.

Resumo: A internet tem sido uma fonte crescente de recursos que podem ser utilizados para o ensino. Pesquisas têm mostrado a contribuição de softwares, vídeos, dentre outros materiais online para o ensino e aprendizagem da Matemática, entretanto é comum perceber que as potencialidades da internet têm sido pouco aproveitadas nas aulas de Matemática. Nesse sentido, a sala de aula caracterizada por sua complexidade, mesmo quando faz uso de recursos da internet mantém práticas de ensino e aprendizagem que expressam culturas socialmente produzidas quando a internet ainda não se fazia presente. Nessa direção, contei com os pressupostos da investigação qualitativa e de um trabalho colaborativo entre mim e as professoras de duas turmas do primeiro ano de escolas públicas estaduais do estado de São Paulo, sendo uma na cidade de Vinhedo e outra na cidade de Nova Odessa: Escola Técnica Estadual (ETEC), para buscar compreender práticas culturais de ensinar e aprender (re)constituídas nas aulas de Matemática mediadas pela internet em um ambiente híbrido.

Abstract: The internet is currently offering more and more resources that can be used for teaching purposes. Research has shown how the use of software, video, and other online materials are contributing to the teaching and learning of Mathematics. However, it is noticeable that the potentialities of the Internet have been poorly used in Mathematics classes. In this sense, even when the classroom – characterized by its complexity – uses internet resources, teaching and learning practices will mostly express a culture socially produced when the Internet was not present. Therefore, this research seeks to understand cultural practices (re)constituted in mathematics classes mediated by the Internet in a hybrid environment. The research is based on qualitative investigation, and on collaborative work between myself and two grade 10 teachers from public schools in the state of São Paulo. One school was a regular school in the city of Vinhedo, and the other was a technical school in the city of Nova Odessa. In both schools, classes were focused on the concept of function, and the features of a hybrid environment were considered during class implementation. Narrative analysis was used to communicate the knowledge built from the data produced in the two classrooms, which are acknowledged in this research as complex systems. As such, the data was analyzed from the lens of Complexity Science. Research outcomes show that teaching is facilitated by the potentialities of a hybrid environment in orde...

Résumé :

When an astronomical observer discovers a transient event in the sky, how can the information be immediately shared and delivered to others? Not too long time ago, people shared the information about what they discovered in the sky by books, telegraphs, and telephones. The new generation of transferring the event data is the way by the Internet. The information of astronomical events is able to be packed and put online as an Internet feed. For receiving these packed data, an Internet feed listener software would be required in a terminal computer. In other applications, the listener would connect to an intelligent robotic telescope network and automatically drive a telescope to capture the instant Astrophysical phenomena. However, because the technologies of transferring the astronomical event data are in the initial steps, the only resource available is the Perl-based Internet feed listener developed by the team of eSTAR. In this research, a Java-based Internet feed listener was developed. The application supports more features than the Perl-based application. After applying the rich Java benefits, the application is able to receive, parse and manage the Internet feed data in an efficient way with the friendly user interface.

Résumé :

Research over the last several decades offers clear evidence that mothers experience considerable pressure in carrying out the expectations of contemporary mothering, including expanded responsibilities relating to child and family health (Hays, 1996; Wolf, 2013). While we know that these pressures produce negative impacts, we know less about the strategies and tools mothers use to cope with these anxieties as they try to "do it right" (Villalobos, 2014). At the same time, research suggests that mothering is increasingly digitally-embedded, as mothers look to the internet and social media for information and support (Schoppe-Sullivan et al., 2017). This study thus explores how mothers use Facebook groups to inform health and parenting decisions. Drawing on data generated through a digital ethnography incorporating 18 months of participant observation, discourse analysis, and interviews with 29 mothers across two sets of divergent, specialized sets of Facebook groups (focusing on “evidence-based” and “natural” health and parenting), I advance three key, interconnected arguments. First, I apply theories of boundaries and boundary-work to show how specialized Facebook groups become persuasive ideological spaces for mothers who seek certainty around their healthcare beliefs and decisions. Next, I apply the concept of echo chambers to argue that mothers involved with these specialized Facebook groups engage in siloed health learning that shapes health beliefs, decisions, and even conversations with healthcare providers. Finally, I show how mothers engage in a form of digitally-mediated emotion management by turning Facebook groups that confirm their parenting ideology in order to alleviate anxieties associated with neoliberalism and individualist parenting, and to feel better about their maternal performance. I ultimately conclude that the turn to digital platforms for certainty, reassurance, and good feelings is both a logical expression and a reflection of the latest wave of maternal responsibilization.

Résumé :

This thesis investigates the design process of mobile-based narratives to verify whether the affordances and constraints of the supporting medium have contributed to shaping specific discursive strategies and particular participation modes. Have properties such as connectivity, location-awareness, portability and multimodality enabled narrative formats that gained force by contesting traditional patterns and classic narrativity notions? The unveiling of the research inquiry happens through a bricolage of methods from artistic and scientific domains. The study of the phenomenon comprises three correlated stages: 1) theoretical literature review that investigates the artistic use of locative and mobile media, and their influence in the basic principles governing narratives, 2) case study of Blast Theory artistic practice grounded in the ethnographic approach of a site-visit, and resulting in a qualitative analysis of four of their projects, 3) applied-theory activities that lead to the collaborative development of a geolocated narrative which serves to evaluate participant's experience.
Esta tesis explora el diseño de las narrativas basadas en dispositivos móviles observando si los recursos expresivos y las limitaciones del medio contribuyen a la formación de estrategias discursivas y modos de participación particulares y específicos. La conectividad, la geolocalización, la portabilidad y la multimodalidad han permitido la aparición de nuevos formatos narrativos que ganan fuerza disputando los patrones y las nociones clásicas de la narratividad? El estudio comprende tres etapas: 1) revisión de la literatura teórica que investiga el uso artístico de los locative media y su influencia en los principios básicos que rigen las narrativas, 2) estudio de caso de la práctica artística del colectivo Blast Theory, basada en el abordaje etnográfico de una visita de campo y posterior análisis cualitativo de cuatro de sus obras, 3) actividades de teoría aplicada que incluyen el desarrollo colaborativo de una narrativa geolocalizada que sirve para evaluar la experiencia de los participantes.

Résumé :

This dissertation creates an information agent that correctly identifies Web pages containing scholarly research approximately 96% of the time. It does this by analyzing the Web page with a set of criteria, and then uses a classification tree to arrive at a decision. The criteria were gathered from the literature on selecting print and electronic materials for academic libraries. A Delphi study was done with an international panel of librarians to expand and refine the criteria until a list of 41 operationalizable criteria was agreed upon. A Perl program was then designed to analyze a Web page and determine a numerical value for each criterion. A large collection of Web pages was gathered comprising 5,000 pages that contain the full work of scholarly research and 5,000 random pages, representative of user searches, which do not contain scholarly research. Datasets were built by running the Perl program on these Web pages. The datasets were split into model building and testing sets. Data mining was then used to create different classification models. Four techniques were used: logistic regression, nonparametric discriminant analysis, classification trees, and neural networks. The models were created with the model datasets and then tested against the test dataset. Precision and recall were used to judge the effectiveness of each model. In addition, a set of pages that were difficult to classify because of their similarity to scholarly research was gathered and classified with the models. The classification tree created the most effective classification model, with a precision ratio of 96% and a recall ratio of 95.6%. However, logistic regression created a model that was able to correctly classify more of the problematic pages. This agent can be used to create a database of scholarly research published on the Web. In addition, the technique can be used to create a database of any type of structured electronic information.

Résumé :

This thesis reports findings from a survey comparing the use of internal and external information services by business persons in the City of Brisbane. The Business Information: an investigation of its sources and use survey was undertaken on behalf of Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Library's Expert Information Service. The study made steps towards the understanding of not only where information is currently sourced, but also why business people prefer the services they currently use to source their information needs. The study has corroborated previous studies into business people's use of information resources and has achieved a better understanding of information use patterns and the potential future role of libraries and library based Fee Based Information Service (FBIS) units. Comparative case studies were undertaken to understand the Australian FBIS environment. FBIS's have developed within the Australian library environment to serve the information needs of business people. They have also developed out of a drive to provide income generation, independent of government funding, for the library that establishes the FBIS. Libraries and FBIS units have resources and expertise of potential value to business people; however, business people still lack an awareness of available information services and resources in general, and specifically in libraries or FBIS units. The main findings of this survey are that: (1) Architects and Small Business Managers are primary markets for FBIS units; (2) The main sources of information currently accessed to make business decisions are internal information services and professional associations; (3) External information service units are favoured for their ability to provide information searching and patents & standards access; (4) The Internet is currently used more than any other electronic form of information resource and an increase is expected in daily and weekly use; (5) Information overload and a lack of time to search for information are major concerns to business people; (6) The majority of respondents have never used a library based FBIS; and (7) Almost 50% of business people report that they have difficulty with not having a budget to acquire information and approximately 35% have no authority to purchase information. Overall the findings suggest that FBIS units should aim to understand the commercial paradigm, providing accurate, timely and up-to-date information for their clients in the most convenient and specific manner possible. The research findings suggest a number of implications for practice for FBIS units, as well as for libraries in Australia.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

Networks of maliciously compromised computers, known as botnets, consisting of thousands of hosts have emerged as a serious threat to Internet security in recent years. These compromised systems, under the control of an operator are used to steal data, distribute malware and spam, launch phishing attacks and in Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. The operators of these botnets use Command and Control (C2) servers to communicate with the members of the botnet and send commands. The communications channels between the C2 nodes and endpoints have employed numerous detection avoidance mechanisms to prevent the shutdown of the C2 servers. Two prevalent detection avoidance techniques used by current botnets are algorithmically generated domain names and DNS Fast-Flux. The use of these mechanisms can however be observed and used to create distinct signatures that in turn can be used to detect DNS domains being used for C2 operation. This report details research conducted into the implementation of three classes of classification techniques that exploit these signatures in order to accurately detect botnet traffic. The techniques described make use of the traffic from DNS query responses created when members of a botnet try to contact the C2 servers. Traffic observation and categorisation is passive from the perspective of the communicating nodes. The first set of classifiers explored employ frequency analysis to detect the algorithmically generated domain names used by botnets. These were found to have a high degree of accuracy with a low false positive rate. The characteristics of Fast-Flux domains are used in the second set of classifiers. It is shown that using these characteristics Fast-Flux domains can be accurately identified and differentiated from legitimate domains (such as Content Distribution Networks exhibit similar behaviour). The final set of classifiers use spatial autocorrelation to detect Fast-Flux domains based on the geographic distribution of the botnet C2 servers to which the detected domains resolve. It is shown that botnet C2 servers can be detected solely based on their geographic location. This technique is shown to clearly distinguish between malicious and legitimate domains. The implemented classifiers are lightweight and use existing network traffic to detect botnets and thus do not require major architectural changes to the network. The performance impact of implementing classification of DNS traffic is examined and it is shown that the performance impact is at an acceptable level.

Résumé :

Crisis intervention is a responsibility of school counselors. Specific training in crisis intervention skills is recommended for performing adequately in crisis situations, however, no generally accepted standards exist for training school counselors in crisis intervention. This exploratory study was conducted entirely online. Participants in the study were recruited via email and listservs and accessed a website to complete a survey. State certified school counselors (n=517) from across the United States (response rate 47%) participated. The following research questions were investigated: (1) Do these school counselors have training in situational crisis intervention skills? (2) What is the format and source of this training? (3) What situational crises have these counselors faced in their work? (4) Do these counselors feel adequately prepared for crisis situations? (5) Do these counselors differ in their preparedness according to demographic variables? (6) What additional training regarding crisis intervention do these counselors believe they need? Results indicate the majority of participants have had training in crisis intervention. Significant differences in level of training were found based on years of experience, age group, and ethnic group. The most frequently cited training topics previously received by respondents are stages of grief, suicide prevention and intervention, and assessment and referral. The most frequently encountered crisis situations are suicide ideation, child physical abuse, child sexual abuse, and suicide gesture. The average percentage of time spent by respondents on crisis intervention is 17%. Over 50% of respondents report being adequately prepared as the result of training for crises related to suicide, violence, accidents, and alcohol/drugs. Forty-six percent report being adequately prepared for crises involving disaster. For each of the five categories of crisis (suicide, violence, accidents, alcohol/drugs, disaster), respondents with 1-5 years of experience report lower perceptions of preparedness as the result of training than the other groups. Elementary counselors report lower levels of preparedness for suicide and alcohol/drug related crises. High school counselors report lower levels of preparedness for disaster. Eighty-nine percent of respondents wish to have additional training in crisis intervention. The most desired training topics are responding to violence, psychological first aid, crisis simulations, Critical Incident Stress Debriefing, and legal/ethical issues in crisis intervention.

Résumé :

In engineering technology and other scientific-based education, lab-based courses play a crucial role (Ma & Nickerson, 2006). Even though laboratory experience in student learning is crucial, it faces some problems. Due to insufficient laboratory conditions that lead to overcrowding and inability to view demonstrations, the effectiveness of hands on experience declines (Tiwari & Singh, 2011; Tuysuz, 2010). Considering the limitations that constrain lab experience, investigating and implementing alternatives to enhance pedagogical laboratory based learning becomes inevitable. This study investigates multimedia enhanced pedagogical teaching methods for delivering laboratory instruction to students. The purpose of this study was to improve pedagogical laboratory based learning. First, this study implemented a multimedia enhanced pedagogical laboratory based instructional method. Second, this study evaluated the impact of multimedia enhanced instructional method on student learning outcomes to assess improvement in pedagogical laboratory based learning. To evaluate the impact of multimedia enhanced instructional method on student learning outcomes, a student population was subjected to 1) traditional laboratory lecture and 2) video lecture. This study used two different assessment techniques to evaluate the instructional methods 1) surveys and 2) quizzes. The use of these different assessment techniques achieved two purposes. First, the surveys allowed the study to receive students’ evaluation on the lecture in order to compare the two types of instructional methods. Second, the quizzes allowed measuring the students’ understanding of the demonstrations in order to evaluate the impact of multimedia enhanced instructional method on pedagogical laboratory based learning. Survey results revealed that based on overall evaluations, students prefer traditional lectures in comparison to video lectures in terms of level of interest and engagement. Furthermore, quiz results revealed that multimedia enhanced instructional methods do not have an impact on pedagogical laboratory based learning.

Résumé :

Curriculum experts, instructional technologists and teachers are looking at computer technology to address many of the inadequacies that plague traditional teaching. These inadequacies include practical limitations and outdated educational philosophies that encourage rote learning and passive transfer of information from teacher to student via the typical lecture-based classroom. Often educational technology is used as an add-on to make content available to students. However, technological tools should rather be used to facilitate productivity and communication in the modern classroom. In addition, the introduction of technology into the classroom can be used to completely transform the traditional lecture into interactive computer-based learning environments. Provided that innovation can be sustained and supported over a period of time, the creative use of technology should enhance sound pedagogical principles rather than replace it. This project reports on the development and evaluation of two, second year, Biology Internet-based software packages used by students in a computer-based constructivist environment that replaced the traditional lecture based model. The first part of the project involved the evaluation of a number of Internet-courses to identify appropriate design and development criteria. This information was then used to create an Educational Software Evaluation Tool (ESET). The courses on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism were then developed in conjunction with subject experts. Evaluations of these learning environments were conducted via paper-based questionnaires, student interviews and student evaluations using ESET. Additional quantitative data was obtained by comparing examination results with the previous year to measure the impact of the technology on learning outcomes. The results of the software evaluation indicated that students found the user interface of the software products easy to use and navigate. Students also rated construction of information from a searchable database highly. This project showed that student learning was improved by self-paced, user-controlled, non-linear software usage. The results also showed that personal information construction by students improved understanding of concepts and led to deeper learning and acquisition of specific skills such as problem solving, information navigation and self-management. Giving students responsibility for their own learning was also shown to be beneficial to them as a life-long learning skill. Evaluation of the learning environment by students indicated that they valued the permanent availability of Internet-based information highly and felt that having assistants (demonstrators and the subject expert) helped them to direct and guide their learning. The results also revealed that students learnt better in groups and that members of the group participated in communicating and constructing shared knowledge. The role of the teacher in this project was transformed from information provider to information facilitator, as the teacher became an additional resource and had more time to spend answering specific questions and problems. Evaluation of student behaviour via interviews revealed that student attitudes were improved and that they enjoyed working with the software. Students found the environment comfortable to work in, were motivational and thought the system was a highly effective way of preparing for the examinations. Students also regarded this active form of learning as far more effective than traditional lectures, although they felt that introductory lectures could still play a role in providing them with direction and focus. Quantitative analysis indicated that students understood key concepts in both the courses, and examination performances revealed that students performed better in both the computer-based courses than in the lecture-based courses for this particular year. Further analysis showed that students performed better than the previous year with respect to the Carbohydrate Metabolism course, but not for the Lipid Metabolism Course (no significant difference). Quantitative and qualitative comparisons between the Carbohydrate and Lipid Metabolism course identified that the Carbohydrate Metabolism course offered students with dynamic content that fostered knowledge construction from a searchable database with easy navigation tools, whereas the Lipid Metabolism course consisted of pre-structured static content that students found difficult to search. This result indicates that interactive components foster constructivist based learning skills are an essential part on on-line learning environments. The results of this study include a model for designing, developing and evaluating education software and concluded that technology based on sound pedagogy can be successfully and effectively integrated into the classroom and form the basis for future prolonged development and learning.

The electronic shopping expert system on Internet is a system that integrates tradi-tional electronic shopping systems and expert systems technologies in order to help the buyer and the seller do business on Internet. Currently, there are two potential limita-tions in the use of a traditional electronic shopping system. One limitation is that the user, or the buyer, has to know the merchandise he wants to buy very well in order to find it from the system. The other limitation is that the keyword search engine provided by traditional electronic shopping systems often generates too much relevant merchan-dise information which causes the user hard to find the merchandise he really needs. This thesis presents a theoretical framework and a system prototype of an electronic shopping expert system on Internet that allows the user to use traditional keyword sear-ch as well as incomplete information search to find out the merchandise suitable for him promptly. The system consists of five main modules: the user interface module, the tra-ditional keyword search module, the expert system search module, the data and attrib-utes management module, and the merchandise registration module.

By combination of the borderless characteristic of the internet network and World-Wide webs, internet-based education can make the instructors and learners carry out the synchronous and asynchronous teaching activities, even in different time and space .The instructors can make the teaching materials circulation and resource-sharing more quickly. The learners can obtain studying materials and the latest information faster and more conveniently, too. The problem-based learning also set out from the design of the learner-center. With the true problem situation of simulation to make the learners get better ability of self-learning and meta-cognition by data-collecting, discussing and sharing with the each other. With the combination of this two important factors, this research wants to improve the shortcoming of the internet-based education and the problem-based learning under the classroom situation. This research will carry, with combining advantages of the problem-based learning and internet-based education of the intern teachers. Internet as the environment and problem-based learning play the rule of the core theory. And hoping that through this action research by researcher and teachers carry on together, it can strengthen the ability of self-learning and using the information technology in teaching of the intern teachers, still have ability and confidence to solve the questions that they will be face in the future practice career. This research is the first time that attempts at combining problem-based learning, internet-based learning and action research such three different domains in our internal country. After planning, communicating and putting it into practice in all semester, we can find that the effects, satisfactions and reflections all show the obverse trend, so we can confirm that it’s a good design of internet-based education. 1. The method of problem-based learning is suitable for teaching of the intern teachers under the internet environment. 2. The method of problem-based learning for teaching the intern teachers under the internet environment is satisfied for the teachers. 3. The teaching plans still are the key factors of teaching effects and satisfactions, no matter the environment of practicing the problem-based learning. 4. The roles and positions of the instructors should be thought over and adjusted.

Abstract Due to the highly development of the internet network techniques, flying internet has become an essential necessity in this century. The functions of Internet network consist of transfering information inbetween the PCs’, controlling between servers and clients, and process transactions of business. The main purpose of this thesis is to design and develop an internet monitoring control system. The design of hardware circuits for monitor/control system and software programming of static and active pages are described in detail. The client/server structure of internet network for the monitoring control system is also utilized in this thesis. The monitoring terminal based on graphical user interface in client side is achieved by the completion of active server pages in server side. The active server pages are completed by using the Visual Basic software package. The object is controlled and monitored by a DSP controller which can transfer the data with the PC. Therefore, user can directly control and monitor the remote object via the browser through the server.

The ability to think creatively is what the students in our country relatively lack of. One purpose of the government''s educational policy on 1-9 grade curriculum is supposed to help our students think, judge and create. But our students seldom ask or answer questions voluntarily, or think judgmentally in class. The main reason is because our students are so used to the learning method through listening to lectures. They process what they learn inside themselves is in a mechanical way. Chinese society emphasizes too much on gaining knowledge from the authoritative teaching. This is also one of the reasons that our students can''t build their own knowledge structures. Changing teachers'' perceptions and teaching methods is fundamentally necessary. Especially the perception of creative thinking and the training on strategies of creative thinking. Grade 1-9 Curriculum aims to enhance students’ ability of judgment and creativity. Meanwhile, teachers should increase and renovate their teaching tactics on creative thinking as well. The perspective of this study is based on teaching strategies to promote creative thinking, the content of visual arts, and the diversity of Internet environment to build up a learning platform. Design-based research is implemented in eight phases, namely discovery, organization, analysis, design, development, application, evaluation, and results to research and design teaching materials of multimedia visual arts. The study was based on an evaluation of teaching materials from experts and an understanding of learning satisfaction from junior high school teachers who served as learners. Experts provided suggestions for alteration and revision on the content and the questionnaire helped understand learners’ satisfaction degree and their inspiration of creativity ability. Additionally, the worksheet explored the effects of creative thinking through teaching. According to the experts, a clear goal and methods of learning must be given to students. This can be done through the Internet. For example, put the point on top of the website page, and use simple words to make them understand easily. When teaching, interaction and assistances in time are crucial, including leading how to learn and how to solve problems. Finally, lesson plans should be designed gradually. Also, they must be connected with the learners'' major knowledge to keep them interested. The survey on the learners'' satisfaction indicated that they were much satisfied with learning creative thinking through visual arts. The informal form of class and free atmosphere made the learners participate more and reduce fears. They were highly willing to answer questions for there weren’t fixed answers, no right or wrong. This way learners could think actively and tend to answer more. Learners though the content of the visual arts instructions were not the point; instead, it increased their learning motivation. The whole learning target focused on the acquisition of developing thinking tactics. Through the worksheet, the researcher found the teaching strategies the learners came up with included giving students free space of pondering, inspiring their imagination of thinking creatively and encouraging them to speak up and embrace different ideas. From this result, it can be concluded that junior high school teachers have begun to apply the creative strategies they learn in their teaching strategies.

With the rapid development of the board band networking, it becomes the upcoming trend to communication over the Internet. Due to the powerful computation ability of Texas Instruments TMS320 C6000 DSP, an embedded VoIP prototype was designed to perform in it. Our system has several advantages especially it is a stand-alone system. In this system, we design a telephone interface daughter card for C6711 DSK. It can provide the users to connect the regular phone to our system, this will reduce their learning curve when using. In terms of the software, we combine ITU G.729A speech coder and the codes of network function, with using the real time operation system DSP/BIOS to provide task scheduling. Our system utilized the property of C6711 DSP well to efficiently reduce the computation time. Moreover, our system is designed in modules, and it can be easily renewed by loading additional codes if Programmer wants to upgrade it.

There exists abusive and unfair Internet access during peak hours by users of a free-of-charge or flat-rate network even under a quota-based priority control (QPC). To effectively managing the Internet access over time based on QPC, this thesis studies and analyzes two classes of schemes: time-of-day pricing (TDP) and quota scheduling (QS). TDP is an incentive control method, where users can flexibly allocate the daily quota by virtual price. QS allocates the daily quota to individual time periods to directly and forcedly limit the maximum volume usage of each user during peak hours. The TDP design takes advantage of the empirical data to characterize user demand and quota-allocation behavior with respect to time and pricing. In-depth analyses of empirical data reveal distinctive behavior patterns of myopic and prudent quota allocations over time and both patterns indicate high preference for peak-hour access. The user models adopt general utility functions and capture how pricing affects user behavior as prudent or myopic. Preference parameters of users’ utility over time are then estimated by collecting easily measurable user volumes. The TDP design problem is then formulated and solved as a Stackelberg game. Numerical results shows that the TDP design leads to significant improvements in peak-hour abuse and fairness, peak shaving and load balancing over pure QPC. The methodology of TDP requires only two simple and short-period data collections from an operational network. One is from the network with QPC; the other is from the network without quota control. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of TDP design methodology when applied to Internet access environments with frequent changes. Two QS schemes, load balancing-based quota scheduling (LB-QS) and peak shaving-based quota scheduling (PS-QS), are proposed. LB-QS intends to equalize average traffic over time by proportional quota allocation to time periods of control. There is no empirical data of traffic usage needed for the LB-QS design. PS-QS aims at reducing total traffic of peak hours by utilizing an aggregate empirical data-based user model. This model needs the measurement data collected from a network with QPC to approximate user quota allocation behavior over time. Both QS schemes are compulsive control measures. Performances of TDP and QS are evaluated and compared over the empirical data of a 5000-user network. Results demonstrate TDP significantly outperforms both LB-QS and PS-QS in regulating the Internet access over time. This is because TDP exploits user behavior modeling and pricing to induce user behavior over time, avoiding congestion at the time of quota renewal. As for calculation complexity, the TDP design needs to solve an optimization problem, while the QS design only requires simple mathematical operations. However, the CPU time for TDP calculation takes about 1 minute. Recommendations are given for selecting an effective Internet access scheme based on data availability and traffic pattern over time. We further study how to manage the user traffic over a profitable and multi-service network by designing pricing and bandwidth allocation at the same time. Although pricing and bandwidth allocation of individual services are two important and coupled resource management functions, they are treated separately in most of the literature. In this thesis, we design for a service provider an integrated pricing and bandwidth allocation (IPBA) scheme for a popular network service, where each user is guaranteed with a minimum bandwidth for transmission according to the service class subscribed. Revenue maximization of service provisioning is the service provider’s objective. The design problem is formulated as a nonlinear programming problem. It adopts an empirical user demand model, where a user’s usage time for a service class is a function of prices. Constrained by the total bandwidth limitation, the revenue-maximizing price design induces user demands for individual classes, which in turn determines an optimal allocation of bandwidth. Analyses of the IPBA solution demonstrate that the price increases with traffic intensity while the bandwidth allocation is insensitive to the variation. Results also reveal that when users’ demand for a class is relatively sensitive to the price of other class. Over the same network capacity, the total revenue of offering more than one service classes is higher than that of offering only single service class.

The twenty first century marked the beginning of the web-based enterprise solution. Small-to-medium enterprises can now enjoy all the benefits of large-scale IT solution without the ownership of such technology. With more and more enterprises working toward paperless or electronic environment, the concept of “IT outsourcing through Internet” has gained increasing popularity throughout the business world. However, one of the major challenges facing any emerging product or service is whether it would be accepted by the market place in the timely manner. The author Geoffrey A. Moore in his book “Crossing the Chasm” advocates that the first step to gain general acceptance of an emerging product is to make it accessible to the technical users. The “Chasm Theory” further indicates that the technical users are the gatekeepers and gaining their acceptance is the key factor towards new product success. It is therefore extremely important to cater to technical users’ needs and make successive modification accordingly. This theory, although worked well with most hi-tech products, broke down miserably with the aforementioned IT outsourcing business model. The exemplary enterprise in the report, adopted the theory diligently by soliciting numerous opinions from technical users, but, even when all the opinions were analyzed and corresponding modification made, the ultimate result did not turn out as expected. The report is a summary from author’s personally involvement with the enterprise operation with all the detailed of the business process, from which she made analysis and provided suggestions. The author hopes to give those who are in the similar business or about to enter into such business valuable insights that would be helpful in their endeavors.

Résumé :

Nel corso degli ultimi 20 anni si sono aperte nuove frontiere d’indagine che hanno portato ad attestare come l’insorgenza di alcune condizioni e malattie croniche, quali ad esempio l’obesità, il diabete, le malattie cardiovascolari, le malattie respiratorie, possano avere un origine molto precoce, già nel grembo materno. Pioniero di questo nuovo campo di studi è stato David J.P. Barker (Barker DJ, Godfrey KM, Gluckman PD, Harding JE, Owens JA, Robinson JS, 1993) che assieme ad altri colleghi, ha avvalorato quella è che riconosciuta come “Fetal Origins Hypothesis” di alcune malattie. Lo studio di questa area si presenta complessa per tutta una serie di ragioni come le tipologie di analisi richieste e la necessità di un approccio metodologico rigoroso e duraturo nel tempo, che permetta di avere dati adeguati per la valutazione di queste relazione. Anche sulla base di queste premesse, in Europa e non solo, si sono costituiti alcuni studi di coorte di nuovi nati che seguono nel tempo i bambini dal momento del concepimento sino all’età adulta, raccogliendo informazioni sui fattori di rischio o protettivi per l’insorgenza di condizioni patologiche e malattie durante l’arco dell’intera vita. (Enrieco Project – ENvironmental health RIsks in European birth COhorts, 2009; CHICOS developing a CHIld COhort research Strategy for europe, 2010). La nascita di collaborazioni europee, (dove anche il Progetto NINFEA è presente ed attivo), permetterà di analizzare congiuntamente alcune informazioni raccolte dalle diverse coorti, in modo da poter investigare anche l’ esposizioni a fattori di rischio e malattie rare, difficilmente indagabili con un singolo studio, favorirà inoltre le scelte decisionali di coloro che sono in grado di decidere quali interventi mettere in atto per garantire la salute dei cittadini di oggi e di domani. Come in Europa, anche in Italia sono in corso diversi studi di coorte di nuovi nati, che collaborano con ricercatori di tutti i paesi: GASP II (Genetica e Ambiente: Studio Prospettico dell’Infanzia in Italia), Co.N.ER (Bologna birth cohort), MUBISCO (MUltiple BIrthS COhort study), Trieste child development cohort, Piccoli più e il “Progetto NINFEA” (Progetto Ninfea - http://www.progettoninfea.it , 2005). Il progetto NINFEA è uno studio di coorte di nuovi nati iniziato nel 2005. Lo studio è stato ideato ed è gestito a livello nazionale dalla SCDU di Epidemiologia – AO Città della Salute e della Scienza di Torino - PO Molinette e Università degli Studi di Torino. In Toscana il progetto è coordinato dal 2010 dalla Unità di Epidemiologia dell’AOU Meyer e dal Dipartimento di Sanità Pubblica dell’Università degli Studi di Firenze e si è realizzato attraverso la collaborazione attiva delle Aziende Sanitarie: ASF di Firenze, ASL 8 Arezzo e ASL 12 Versilia e da quest’anno anche dalla ASL 2 Lucca. Il progetto, che si connota come un’indagine multi-purpose e si è realizzata adottando sistemi web-based research per il reclutamento della popolazione che sarà seguita nel tempo. Gli obiettivi sono orientati all’indagine delle relazioni tra alcuni i fattori di rischio o protettivi, a cui può essere esposto il feto durante la gravidanza o il bambino dal momento della sua nascita (come ad esempio: l’ambiente domestico e lavorativo della madre, l’utilizzo di farmaci, le abitudini di vita ecc.) e i primi anni di vita (ad esempio: l’allattamento e la dieta, l’esposizione a fumo) e la successiva insorgenza di alcune condizioni e malattie che si presentano dall’infanzia all’età adulta. L'innovazione di questo studio di coorte, oltre all'ampia gamma di variabili osservate, è l'utilizzo di sistemi internet-based research per la sua realizzazione, rappresentando il primo studio di coorte nati web-based research attualmente presente in Italia.

After IBM raising the term “Smart Planet”, one of the concepts of IoT applications, the industry respond to the idea and begin to develop other IoT applications. Many intelligent object applications has been promoted like Smart Home, Smart City, and so on. This study try to implement the IoT concepts on campus and call it “Smart Campus”. The security patrol service of the security guard on campus inspires this study to find something helpful to benefit the patrol service. We consider that the patrol service will make campus security officers go around on campus, so we develop an IoT application model which is available for the mobile device with automatic and intuitive operation design. We drive the physical devices on campus by IoT technic via Internet and integrate with Google map. In this system, Google map is a devices operation interface, and also an information platform. The users can operate the devices on campus map by clicking the map objects on map and know the situation everywhere on campus by the visual map objects. This IoT application system tries to improve efficiency in the security patrol service and provide the campus information. We hope that the system is not only for campus security officers but also for everyone on campus in the future by adding more devices, setting up authority institution and other mechanism. The expectation of this study is that the system will be a model of IoT application on campus.
