E-Prescription: A practical application of information and communications technology in perspective of Bangladesh

ObjectivesThe healthcare management authorities are responsible for delivering convenient services to the patients. The traditional healthcare management system is quite old and impractical in many cases, including a physical visit. Additionally, the COVID-19 epidemic makes the existing system unattainable, which creates an uncomfortable situation for visiting doctor's chambers that is risky both for doctors and patients. An electronic-prescription (e-prescription) management system can switch the existing one to the online appointment and doctor consulting system. Many developed countries have already adopted such e-prescription management systems, although low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) like Bangladesh are apathetic. So implementing e-prescription management systems in all countries, including Bangladesh, is the demand of time, especially when information and communication technologies (ICT) are at hand. MethodWe design, develop and test an ICT-based online doctor and patient management system utilizing the latest software and web development tools. ResultsIn the developed e-prescription management system, the patient can visit their profile to make an appointment according to their need and doctor's availability. After that, the patient consults with the doctor based on the appointment's approval by the admin panel. Finally, the patient receives an online e-prescription and collects the medicine from a registered pharmacy with access to the online e-prescription. The e-prescription management system records patient history, including e-prescription, making handling patients easy. ConclusionThe proper use of the developed e-prescription management system will solve many existing problems of the existing healthcare management system, including many concerns that arise due to the advent of COVID-19.

Design and Simulation of IoT Systems Using the Cisco Packet Tracer

Design and implementation of Internet of Things (IoT) systems require platforms with smart things and components. Two dominant architectural approaches for developing IoT systems are mashup-based and model-based approaches. Mashup approaches use existing services and are mainly suitable for less critical, personalized applications. Web development tools are widely used in mashup approaches. Model-based techniques describe a system on a higher level of abstraction, resulting in very expressive modelling of systems. The article uses Cisco packet tracer 7.2 version, which consists of four subcategories of smart things—home, smart city, industrial and power grid, to design an IoT based control system for a fertilizer manufacturing plant. The packet tracer also consists of boards—microcontrollers (MCU-PT), and single boarded computers (SBC-PT), as well as actuators and sensors. The model facilitates flexible communication opportunities among things—machines, databases, and Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs). Implementation of the IoT system brings finer process control as the operating conditions are monitored online and are broadcasted to all stakeholders in real-time for quicker action on deviations. The model developed focuses on three process plants; steam raising, nitric acid, and ammonium nitrate plants. Key process parameters are saturated steam temperature, fuel flowrates, CO and SOx emissions, converter head temperature, NOx emissions, neutralisation temperature, solution temperature, and evaporator steam pressure. The parameters need to be monitored in order to ensure quality, safety, and efficiency. Through the Cisco packet tracer platform, a use case, physical layout, network layout, IoT layout, configuration, and simulation interface were developed.

Accessibility of Massive Open Online Courses in Computer Sciences and Programming for Persons with Disabilities

Purpose of research. The work deals with accessibility assessment of the Russian-language massive open online courses (MOOCs) in computer science and programming. Recent studies show that MOOCs have multiple web accessibility mistakes, both from the side of the platform and/or the authors’ content. The accessibility of MOOCs in computer science and programming has not been studied yet. At the same time, the specifics of online courses on programming require greater attention to the web content accessibility for persons with disabilities, especially in a program code. Material and methods. The selection of MOOCs was carried out in July 2020 by browsing catalogs of platforms with Russian-language content. Automatic web accessibility analysis was performed using the WAVE online tool. Checklists with a quaternary assessment system for 69 features were utilized for the expert accessibility analysis. Three experts evaluated overall accessibility of the platforms, accessibility of video lectures, digital documents, tests and program code. Results. 65 MOOCs in computer science and programming were found (Coursera 32, Stepik 33). All courses have web accessibility mistakes. Most of the errors are related to the common accessibility of the platforms. As a result of the automatic and expert checks, the following errors were found: low contrast between the background and the text; navigation errors related to the missing labels in attributes; empty links and buttons; lack of alternative text for links and images; form identification errors; lack of custom web page settings; errors in keyboard access to media players; errors of the page structure and page reading logic, creating playback problems by assistive technologies and text browsers. Errors in authors’ content are related to the incompetence of the MOOCs authors and developers in the field of web accessibility. The most common mistakes are: lack of lecture notes that are equivalent to video; incorrect wording of hyperlinks; lack of software-defined structure of the documents; the use of fragments in the content unreadable by the screen reader. Assistive technology almost always reproduces the code with errors and gaps, and embedded compilers have impaired access to the visual interface and feedback. Conclusion. To improve the web accessibility of the MOOCs in computer science and programming, the following steps should be carried out: 1) common platform accessibility errors should be fixed and the content of the published MOOCs should be brought in line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1; 2) only those courses should admit for publication on platforms, that have passed the web accessibility assessment procedure; 3) MOOCs’ production teams should be trained in the basics of web accessibility and develop new courses in accordance with WCAG 2.1; 4) attention should be paid to the creation of ergonomic compilers in accordance with the requirements for accessible software and web development tools.

Enabling the generation of web applications from mockups

SummaryMockups are widely used to elicit and validate user requirements in web applications, and several intuitive tools have been developed in recent years, actively involving the end user in the requirements solicitation process. However, most current web development approaches and tools discard mockups after the information‐gathering process, abandoning the opportunity to exploit underlying information in them for autogenerating functional web applications. To overcome this limitation, we have devised a method for deriving the database schema and the logic of the web application from the information contained within mockups. In particular, the method gathers clues on how to organize the data and the control flow of the web application by analyzing the structure and relationships of the widgets in the mockup. Based on the proposed method, we have implemented a tool supporting the generation of web applications abiding by the model‐view‐controller architectural pattern. The tool has been evaluated by involving several end users in the development of web applications for different domains.
