Distributed Edge Computing for Resource Allocation in Smart Cities Based on the IoT

Smart cities using the Internet of Things (IoT) can operate various IoT systems with better services that provide intelligent and efficient solutions for various aspects of urban life. With the rapidly growing number of IoT systems, the many smart city services, and their various quality of service (QoS) constraints, servers face the challenge of allocating limited resources across all Internet-based applications to achieve an efficient per-formance. The presence of a cloud in the IoT system of a smart city results in high energy con-sumption and delays in the network. Edge computing is based on a cloud computing framework where computation, storage, and network resources are moved close to the data source. The IoT framework is identical to cloud computing. The critical issue in edge computing when executing tasks generated by IoT systems is the efficient use of energy while maintaining delay limitations. In this paper, we study a multicriteria optimization approach for resource allocation with distributed edge computing in IoT-based smart cities. We present a three-layer network architecture for IoT-based smart cities. An edge resource allocation scheme based on an auctionable approach is proposed to ensure efficient resource computation for delay-sensitive tasks.

Perceived Ease of Utilization, Usefulness, Security, and Trust in Mobile Banking

Mobile banking is an internet-based application of banks to serve their customers. With this application, the customers can check their balance on their banking account and transact online with the other parties. Therefore, growing trust in mobile banking becomes essential. Moreover, to reach it, banks need to focus on the determinants. According to previous studies, at least three factors are available: perceived ease of utilization, usefulness, and security. By answering this challenging topic, this study aims to test these determinants of trust statistically. After employing the 106 respondents in Bandung using the mobile banking application as the sample taken by the snowball sampling technique and examining three hypotheses by structural equation model based on partial least square, this research concludes a positive sign exists in these causal associations.

PENGUJIAN RELIABILITY APLIKASI SMART CITY MENGGUNAKAN TEKNIK PENGUJIAN EKSPLORASI BERBASIS TUR

Smart City is a solution to overcome various problems in urban areas through interactive internet-based applications that provide various services that can be accessed by the public online. By 2020, more than 50% of the population in Indonesia live in urban areas, and this number will continue to increase in the future. To facilitate urban population services, the government has developed smart city services in various cities since the last 5 years. Such development needs to be supported from various fields, including from the technical side of system development. Smart city applications must be reliable so that they can be used properly by the community. In this study, reliability testing was carried out on six smart city applications in six cities, namely Live Tangerang, Sadayana Bandung, Jogja Smart Services, Cimahi SmartCity, Nganjuk Smart City and Tuban Smart City using tour-based exploratory testing techniques. The test results show that there are deficiencies or bugs found in the form of inconvenience to use because there is no error handling on the input form, an unresponsive interface, unavailability of information, and imperfect navigation. In addition, there are some bugs that are quite annoying, namely the sudden closing of the application when the user uses certain features.

With the emergence of the COVID-19 outbreak, face-to-face teaching and learning activities had to be temporarily suspended and replaced with online learning activities. Of course this is the first thing for students in carrying out online learning, and students must interact with new things where online learning uses internet-based learning applications. Which requires students to understand in this online learning. Because of this, many students find it difficult to do online learning. The purpose of this study was to describe students' difficulties in online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic in elementary schools. This type of research uses descriptive qualitative research with oral test, interview, and observation methods. The source of data analysis used in this research is primary data which is carried out directly with students, homeroom teachers, and parents of students, then followed by secondary data.

High-speed broadband availability, Internet activity among older people, quality of life and loneliness

Using data from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA), linked to administrative data on high-speed broadband availability from infrastructure maps, this study examines patterns of Internet uses and psychosocial outcomes for over 3500 people aged 50 plus across Ireland. High-speed broadband availability is associated with higher reported levels of home Internet access, greater frequency of Internet use and more engagement with Internet activities. Controlling for demographic and socio-economic circumstances, regression models show that quality of life is higher among daily users of the Internet. Little association is found with loneliness. Quality of life is higher among users of Internet-based communication applications such as email and video calls, and there is some evidence that loneliness may be less pronounced among users of these applications. The findings are consistent with the view that digital engagement can enhance the lives of older people and thus may be supportive of policies and interventions to address potential ‘grey’ digital divides.

CURRENT PRACTICES OF BP MEASUREMENT IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS ACROSS EUROPEAN COUNTRIES: A SURVEY BY THE HYPERCHILDNET COST ACTION WG ON DEVICES

Objective: Objective: The main objective was to carry out a survey on current practices of BP measurement used among health care providers involved in the care of children and adolescents. Design and method: Design and methods: A 22 questions survey was released online from September 2, 2021 to September 27, 2021. The survey's link was sent to primary care physicians and pediatricians from the 22 European COST country members and it was also posted on the HyperChildNET website. Results: Results: The survey was assessed by 476 individuals and fully completed by 293. It was answered by general practioneers and pediatricians as well as pediatric nephrologists, pediatric cardiologists and pediatric endocrinologists, half of them working in primary care and the other half in hospital settings. Office BP measurement was used for clinical decision-making by 49% of the survey respondents while 29.7% used ABPM (Ambulatory BP Monitoring) and 16% home BP measurements. Only 11% routinely screen for high BP in normotensive children (Figure). Auscultatory and oscillometric devices were used in 57% and 41% of the settings, respectively. The main reason for selecting a BP device was availability in the institution in 60%, ease to use in 25.5% and validation in the relevant age group in 11.5%. Cuff size was selected according to individual child or adolescent mid arm circumference by 55% of the responders. A usual pitfall was combining cuffs from different devices and manufactures reported by 47.7% of the responders. Moreover, 42% performed only one BP measurement at each office BP visit. There was heterogeneity on the reference values used to evaluate the BP status with 27.4% using country specific BP reference tables and the rest different guidelines’ staging schemes. Eighty-three % used published reference values and 15.4% internet-based application for BP staging in children and adolescents. Conclusions: Conclusions: Variation in practices among health care providers show the emerging need of defining criteria to benchmark the different BP measurement devices, as well as to promote awareness for the evaluation of hypertensive children across Europe.

Exemplar: Social Media as a Format for Nursing Advocacy

Social media refers to internet-based applications that facilitate communication and collaboration between individuals and communities around the globe. Social media use is not without controversy. Use has been associated with violence, isolation, and spread of misinformation (Bumpus, 2022; Mammoser, 2018). Nurses have a unique opportunity to engage with the larger community on a broad array of healthcare topics. Nurses advocate in many ways from professional leadership opportunities to grassroots efforts to impact health and health policy. This article describes the trajectory Robin Cogan, nurse, author, and advocate, took to becoming a nationally known leader for school health nursing.

Risky sexual behavior and associated factors among sexually-experienced adolescents in Bangkok, Thailand: findings from a school web-based survey

BackgroundThe risk of sexually transmitted infections (STI) arises when there is unsafe sexual activity. Unsafe sex often begins in the teenage years, and it will persist as long as there is the opportunity for risky sexual activity. The purpose of this study was to assess the sexual risk behaviors and related factors of sexually-active adolescents in educational institutions in Thailand.MethodsThis was cross-sectional survey using an Internet-based application in schools in Bangkok from November 2020 to February 2021 with a total of 6,167 high school and vocational students. The schools were selected by simple random sampling among institutions, and the students were systematically randomly selected, with an equal number of males and females. We used multivariable logistic regression to analyze associations and control confounding variables. Indicators of risky sex include: (1) Not using a condom; (2) Having more than one sex partner; (3) Having sex in exchange for cash or in-kind compensation; and (4) Having sex without consent.ResultsOf a total of 872 sexually-active participants, the mean age was 15.6 years, 66.9% were vocational students, 42.1% were male, 57.9% were female, and 69.5% had sex risk behavior. The multivariate logistic regression analysis identified the following statistically-significant factors related to risky sex: smokes cigarettes (AOR = 1.79; 95% CI 1.12–2.88); uses cannabis (AOR = 2.84; 95% CI 1.23–6.56); gambles (AOR = 1.81; 95% CI 1.28–2.55); has sex without contraception (AOR = 2.74; 95% CI 2.91–3.93); has a history of childhood sex abuse (AOR = 1.60; 95% CI 1.03–2.56).ConclusionsOur findings suggest that, in designing and implementing sexual risk prevention programs for adolescents in educational settings, there is a need to highlight the role of substance abuse in relation to sexual risk behaviors. Programs should target both male and female students. Teenagers who use marijuana are more likely to be sexually active than those who have never used marijuana. These potential risks should be taken into account with respect to legalization of marijuana and recreational use of this drug.

Security approach for instant messaging applications: viber as a case study

<span>A variety of internet-based applications are widely used in our animation activities because they provide free and useful services. These applications, such as Instant Messaging, can be run via the web, mobile, or computer-based devices. Therefore, the security and privacy of user data over these apps have been concerned in recent years because of sensitive and confidential information considerations. Consequently, many instant messaging applications, like Viber, have various security and privacy issues that need to be understood and resolved. Viber users reached 800 million, and they increased dramatically due to the efficient services that this app provides. Hence, a loophole in an application’s design may allow illegal access to the app and gain confidential and sensitive data. In this article, we proposed a security approach for Viber to safeguard user confidential data and sensitive information. The proposed approach involves two theoretical solutions: Short message service (SMS) authentication code and the physical hardware number to prevent illegal access to user data. Several scenarios are adopted to assess the proposed approach and achieve security and privacy for the user information.</span>

Telerehabilitation during the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden: a survey of use and perceptions among physiotherapists treating people with neurological diseases or older adults

Background Telerehabilitation, i.e. rehabilitation at a distance using Information and Communication Technology (ICT), is a promising avenue for improving health among people with neurological diseases or older adults who often experience limited access to services. Still, little is known about physiotherapists’ use, perceptions and needs with regards to telerehabilitation services.AimsTo describe physiotherapists use and perceptions of, as well as needs for, telerehabilitation services for the rehabilitation of people with neurological diseases or older adults in Sweden.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, an author-created survey was sent out to members of the Swedish Association of Physiotherapists including questions about the use and perceptions of existing telerehabilitation services (e.g. telephone, internet-based applications and mobile applications) as well as needs of future telerehabilitation services. The results were presented descriptively as numbers and percentages.ResultsThree hundred seven physiotherapists were included in this study with 139 (45%) treating people with neurological diseases and 168 (55%) treating older adults. Most respondents did not provide telerehabilitation before (74%) or during (51%) the COVID-19 pandemic. Telephone, which was predominantly used for administrative tasks, was the most frequent utilised ICT used by 68% of the physiotherapist using ICTs several days/week. Few respondents used internet-based applications (12%), mobile applications (3%) or SMS services (8%) and videoconferencing (3%). A majority of the respondents were interested in ICT (78%), felt comfortable using ICT (57%) and were interested in learning how ICT can be used in rehabilitation (92%). Still, few respondents perceived that people with neurological diseases or older adults can use existing ICTs for rehabilitation purposes (18%) and that existing reimbursement system within health care facilitates remote rehabilitation (16%). Important functionality of future ICT perceived by physiotherapists covered patient communication (e.g. chat, SMS and video), assessments (e.g. digital surveys and assessment of physical activity) and treatment (e.g. exercise prescription).ConclusionWhile physiotherapists had an overall positive perception to use and willingness to learn about telerehabilitation, few used telerehabilitation services before nor during the COVID-19 pandemic and they also perceived multilevel barriers for implementation, ranging from patients ability to use ICT to existing reimbursement systems within health care. Our findings emphasize the need to strengthen the expertise regarding remote services among physiotherapists.

Literature Review on Internet Based Tracking System

Abstract: This analysis is based on the bus tracking system. The main intention of this work is to create an Internet-Based Tracking web application that would be able to track Nagpur buses more precisely and efficiently than present bus-tracking systems. We got the motivation for our research paper by observing how much precious time the public living in Nagpur wastes by just waiting for the bus on their particular route. There is also a lack of information for the buses that are traveling on their particular route for the public who have already missed their particular bus. The current generation is very technology-oriented and requires time-to-time updates via the internet. So, they can know the exact location of buses. This system will help to know the location of a bus without using GPS, bus schedules (i.e., according to timing), and also give information on routes and bus status. This technology will be very helpful for outsiders, college students, the local people of the city, and employees.

AEROKEY

Wireless connectivity is becoming common in increasingly diverse personal devices, enabling various interoperation- and Internet-based applications and services. More and more interconnected devices are simultaneously operated by a single user with short-lived connections, making usable device authentication methods imperative to ensure both high security and seamless user experience. Unfortunately, current authentication methods that heavily require human involvement, in addition to form factor and mobility constraints, make this balance hard to achieve, often forcing users to choose between security and convenience. In this work, we present a novel over-the-air device authentication scheme named AEROKEY that achieves both high security and high usability. With virtually no hardware overhead, AEROKEY leverages ubiquitously observable ambient electromagnetic radiation to autonomously generate spatiotemporally unique secret that can be derived only by devices that are closely located to each other. Devices can make use of this unique secret to form the basis of a symmetric key, making the authentication procedure more practical, secure and usable with no active human involvement. We propose and implement essential techniques to overcome challenges in realizing AEROKEY on low-cost microcontroller units, such as poor time synchronization, lack of precision analog front-end, and inconsistent sampling rates. Our real-world experiments demonstrate reliable authentication as well as its robustness against various realistic adversaries with low equal-error rates of 3.4% or less and usable authentication time of as low as 24 s.

Influence of social media platforms in dental education and clinical practice: A cross-sectional survey among dental trainees and professionals.

Social media platforms (SMPs) have become a popular portal for the acquisition and dissemination of dentistry-related information. The study aims to identify the pattern and influence SMPs for education and practice among dental trainees and professionals. A cross-sectional study involving dental trainees and clinical professionals was conducted based on a structured 20-item survey instrument among dental trainees and professionals. The validated questionnaire was circulated among six dental training institutions in India through the internet-based application Google form and achieved a response rate of 60%. The questionnaire focused on identifying the usage of social media in disseminating dentistry-related content. The data from responders were extracted, sorted, and analyzed for descriptive analysis of various factors. The survey revealed the most common SMP used for dentistry-related content as YouTube. The second most commonly used SMP was Facebook for professionals whereas it was Instagram for younger trainees. There was a highly significant difference between professionals and trainees concerning their sources of new information and the most commonly used SMP for dental education (p<0.001). There is a growing consensus among young dental trainees and professionals on SMPs being an effective open access knowledge center. The survey results call for the need for a scientific journal and dental schools to have verified pages in social media to act as flagbearers of evidence-based dental practices. The potentials of SMPs in providing open access information collection to wider viewership across the globe and being a digital archive in attractive audio-visual forms can be used to strengthen the conventional educational model and improvise clinical practice.

By The People: How ‘clicktivism’ helped shape net neutrality in India

In March 2015, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) released a consultation paper inviting responses and comments from the public to recommendations that private telecom operators be allowed to charge extra for third-party internet-based applications and services. This was in response to certain telecom companies deciding to charge internet-based voice calls at the rate of voice calls, paving the way for differentiating between kinds of content transferred via the internet using mobile phones. In response, an unprecedented online movement inundated the TRAI website, seeking to overturn the recommendations, and laying the groundwork for what has come to be seen as robust net neutrality laws. The movement was magnified online by a group of artists, journalists, technologists, lawyers, and policy experts who came together under the Save The Internet campaign and encouraged internet users in India to take part in the consultation process. TRAI received over a million responses. It was this public outcry that defeated some of the most powerful players in the digital realm – from telecom companies to Facebook, leading to the net neutrality laws that now exist in India. This paper will attempt to chart the evolution of net neutrality in India, focusing on how the net neutrality regulations came to be. In so doing, the paper hopes to understand how a leaderless citizen movement helped shape policy within a highly technical space, normally considered the domain of ‘experts.’ As more and more ‘users’ of the internet are transformed into ‘consumers’ of internet-related products, the lines demarcating ‘consumers,’ ‘citizens,’ ‘users,’ and ‘data subjects’ are becoming increasingly blurred. In moments such as the public debate on net neutrality, not only did the ‘citizen’ aspect of internet users come to the fore, it also allowed for the observation of participatory democracy in action.

Benefits of Google technologies for organizations: Perspectives from adaptive structuration theory

This article applies adaptive structuration theory (AST) to Google technologies. AST describes the ways in which information technologies change organizations. The theory seeks to identify diverse sources of structuration between technologies, social structures and human interactions in organizations. Google technologies refers to a variety of Google internet-based applications, such as Google Calendar, Gmail, Google Docs and Google Sites. The objective of this article, then, is to understand the ways in which Google has changed organizations and attitudes among virtual teams. For example, a major finding is that, based on four dimensions (i.e., leadership, efficiency, conflict management and atmosphere), Google technologies allows for a more consensus-based rational decision-making process and equal participation by all members rather than domination by a few.
