Optimization in Security of Digital Evidences by Integration of Evidence Integrity Assurance Mechanism (EIAM) Plug-in into the Software Framework of Mobile Forensic Tools with Balanced Use of Antivirus Softwares

In today's era, there exists variety of mobile forensic tools both proprietary as well as open source tools and this generation of mobile forensic tools is evolving at a faster pace with new features which mainly focuses on the deep penetration into the mobile handheld to optimize the mobile forensic process and mainly extraction and decoding of mobile artifacts. But a bit less attention is provided towards the integrity of the digital evidence obtained. There are many factors that can alter the data and the use of antivirus software is one of the prominent factors among them. The importance of antivirus software in the machine could not be denied and hence its systematic use if done, will not only save the digital evidence from the malwares but also saves it from the antivirus software itself. The proposed work describes how the EIAM (Evidence Integrity Assurance Mechanism) plug-in handles the antivirus software in a smart optimized way.

Essential Components of Software Framework for Mobile Forensic Tool to Extract and Decode the Mobile Artifacts

Urge for Novel and Secure Software Framework for Extraction and Decoding of Mobile Artifacts

Mobile Forensics is now days, increasingly becoming more challenging as it is the field of science that is continuously evolving with respect to the rapidly developing technologies and techniques for the extraction of the mobile data and its decoding. Majority of the crimes are getting committed digitally and especially the criminals are preferring mobile handsets than a laptop or desktop machines, leaving the footprints behind which could be evidence against them. The mobile handsets along with their software applications are getting more advanced and sophisticated mainly due to advances in Cloud computing where clouds are used to store data, Anti-forensics where efforts are made to defeat forensic procedures and Encryption which is used to secure the data during transit. But when compared with the pace of development in mobile hardware and software, the forensic tools and techniques are growing very slowly. Hence the contemporary forensic tools and methodologies are becoming increasingly obsolete and hence urges for the advanced forensic tools, methods which could comply with the need of today’s mobile forensics. Hence, this work presents a detailed survey of the contemporary challenges faced by the forensic experts with the current forensic tools and its methodologies and also the need, scope and opportunities associated with the novel and secure software framework that can address the majority of issues occurring while extraction and decoding of mobile artifacts.

Digitally-Enabled Crop Disorder Management Process Based on Farmer Empowerment for Improved Outcomes: A Case Study from Sri Lanka

We have developed a system facilitated by a mobile artefact to effectively identify crop disorder incidents and manage them using recommended control measures. This work overcomes the limitations of the existing attempts by using digital technology to empower farmers to identify crop disorders rather than replace them with automated techniques. Our approach empowers farmers by providing the information in context for them to identify crop disorders. The developed solution can identify most of the crop disorders instantaneously, irrespective of the crop or other factors that make crop disorder identification complicated. For the rest, it provides a mechanism to carry out a manual identification with the help of subject experts. The solution was deployed among paddy farmers in Sri Lanka to understand how well this could assist them in identifying and managing crop disorders. The system was able to identify 70.8% of the crop disorder incidents reported by the farmers and provided them with the relevant control measures. Farmers’ perceptions of various usability aspects of the solution revealed that the application of agrochemicals and expenses associated with agrochemicals were significantly reduced. It was also observed that the yield quality and quantity and overall revenue have increased compared to the previous seasons.

1114 NSTEMI originated from an insulin injection needle

Abstract A fifty-eight-old previously healthy woman presented to the emergency department with chest pain radiating to the retrosternal area on her way to work. Initial ECG showed no ST-T segment change, but the troponin level was elevated. Urgent coronary angiography demonstrated normal coronary arteries. Ergonovine provocation was also undergone, and no coronary spasm was provoked. During angiography, a fine mobile artifact near the distal portion of left anterior descending artery was observed (Figure A and B, yellow arrow). Her chest wall was fully clear without recent injury. She didn"t receive any acupuncture treatment or is not an intravenous drug user. She is a factory worker making insulin injection needle. Echocardiography showed a hyperechogenic sharp foreign body penetrating interventricular septum with color jet (Figure C and D, yellow arrow). No pericardial effusion was observed. She underwent surgery to remove the foreign object. A fresh fine needle approximately 23 mm-long was entirely removed without extensive dissection under fluoroscopic guidance (Figure E and F). Her symptom was fully resolved after removing the needle and she discharged without further event. Abstract 1114 Figure.

To a Geographical Orchestration of Mobile Learning Activities

We are in the transition to a new era where mobility extends to many aspects of our daily lives. Learning, for example, takes place throughout life and anywhere. One may wonder how the traditional orchestration of learning can be applied in a mobile context, for example, to better support students during field trips and museum visits. In this paper, we present a geographic orchestration of resources and activities associated to learning system. The objective is to consider collaboration in mobile learning scenario that depends heavily on the location of learners, their profiles and their activity logs. We also defined a software framework for the design and implementation of pedagogic scenarios of field trip. To validate our approach, we present the implementation of a mobile artifact dedicated to the support of new visitors in exploring the historic monuments of a city.

Tourism Mobile Application Usability

Mobile communication is experiencing significant growth: the domain has been completely reshaped since the launch of the Apple iPhone (June 2007) and the ensuing development of so-called “smart phones”. Furthermore, together with the expansion of new mobile artifacts, mobile application markets (such as Apple iTunes Store and Android Google Play market) have contributed to the diffusion of new forms of communication within different sectors and domains. Tourism is being very much exposed to the advent of mobile applications as tools for communication and assistance during the consumption of touristic experiences. By examining a case from the tourism industry, this research highlights the importance of the usability of mobile communication in this mobile tourism (mTourism) context. mTourism usability can be achieved by emphasizing the importance of fast and reliable access to content, as well as the quality – particularly conciseness, accuracy and coverage – of the relevant information.

National – regional – global? Alte und neue Modelle gesellschaftlicher Erbekonstruktionen

As an introduction to the section dealing with global tasks and regional institutions, following aspects were analyzed: mobility of art historians, spatial and social framework of the constructions of heritage, the criteria (local vs. territorial, spatial vs. topographic, juridical and semantic) of the status of built heritage and of mobile artefacts. The community of cultural heritage is proposed according to the concept of 'heritage community’.

Drivers for Transactional B2C M-Commerce Adoption: Extended Theory of Planned Behavior

Although voluntary individual adoption of information technology is well studied in the literature, further theoretical development is needed to account for the specific characteristics of the mobile commerce artifact. In this study, we augment the theory of planned behavior to include evaluative variables that are not fully captured in attitude and to enhance the specificity of the model to mobile commerce. More specifically, we develop, operationalize and empirically test a model for explaining the adoption intention of transactional B2C mobile commerce. The model is empirically tested with mobile device users who have not adopted mobile commerce yet. The empirical results provide strong support for the theoretical model, shedding light on the significance and relative importance of specific adoption factors. The theoretical and empirical implications of these results are discussed.

The Wired Body and Event Construction: Mobile Technologies and the Technological Gaze

Abstract Our recent recognition and celebration of the body as a site of consumption means that we have allowed into our lives an array of technological and mobile artifacts designed to lure our cognitive senses away from the communal and into the personal. The personal space is a coveted commodity where new technologies, innovative designs and convergence occur and coalesce. The inbuilt surveillance mechanisms within mobile technologies and the constant circulation of bodies nevertheless constitute new forms of gaze, consumption and surveillance, which have wider implications for postmodern societies. This counter-gaze of the technologically connected bodies presents the potential for empowerment and connection with wider society, yet it inadvertently raises new conundrums where the politics of gazing present new ethical and moral dilemmas for humanity.

Designing to support Mobile Work with Mobile Devices

This PhD dissertation deals with how to design mobile technology to support mobile work. More specifically, I have worked with the following three connected components: design (as process as well as tool), mobile work (specifically on process plants), and technology (mobile and stationary and the relationship between them). &lt;br /&gt; I define the relationship between these three components based on the action-oriented research approach known as the Scandinavian tradition for systems development, which has grounded and shaped my research method. Cooperation, active user involvement and experimental development of methods and techniques are key elements in this approach, and are elements I develop further in a mobile work environment. Another influencing factor on my approach to the mobile work domain is the current technical development: of the staggering number of microchips produced annually, only a small fraction is being used for Personal Computers the rest are used in mobile and embedded technology. Thus we are dealing with an entirely new range of technology, possibilities and limitations, and consequently new user interface challenges. &lt;br /&gt; Based on this, I see the following key connections to design of technological support of mobile work in a process setting: the design process and the usability methods we use create an understanding of the work practice and the work situations we are trying to support with new technology. The work practise and specific tasks set the boundaries for what we support and how we go about it, and particularly in a mobile work context it is important to understand the heterogeneity in the work: the work tasks and the available resources change in relation to where you are (at the home office, at the site of a client, amongst the machines in the plant) and the users' needs for technological support and access to information changes accordingly. These relationships must be reflected in the technology we design, and it is thus often in a mobile work context more relevant to create a selection of different technological tools for the users to choose between as their needs change, than by replacing one technological approach or device with another. This bears particular importance in relation to mobile technology as the handheld device often supports the mobility but sacrifices the sense of overview because the physically small screens are unable to support it as well as a large PC monitor. &lt;br /&gt; Consequently, the relationship between the three elements is an important aspect of my PhD dissertation. I deal with how mobile work makes new demands on the technological devices we design to support it, thereof mobile technology. I also deal with how the mobile artefacts demand new thinking in relation to the user interface design and functionality because we are dealing with a new type of technology, not just a very small PC with limited screen and next to no peripherals. Finally, I deal with how this new area of research (and the development of HCI and usability in general) sets new demands for the usability methods, how and to what degree we involve users and other professionals in design, how we take advantage of the use environment and utilise the use context actively in the design process. &lt;br /&gt; As a collective concept for the development of mobile technology to support mobile work, I introduce the `web-of-technology' concept that requires we create an understanding of which role the new device should play in relation to the already existing technology in the specific work domain. By placing the new, hand-held technology in the existing `web-of-technology' you are forced to analyse which relations the mobile device should have to the other technological devices in the work context and whether the mobile artefact should be strongly, weakly, or not integrated with the other technology at all. The degree of integration between technologies affects the design of both the functionality and the user interface; strongly integrated devices demand a large degree of visual and functional consistency across devices. It is thus essential that we clarify these questions of the technology that is and the technology that will be early in the design process, just as naturally as we examine how the work practice affects the development and design.
