Technology is part of our daily lives; we can observe the use of technology in our cell phones and portable computers and, most notably, within classrooms. If used within the proper pedagogical context, computer-aided technology can be quite advantageous to teacher educators whose pedagogical belief is also centered on teaching and learning that is responsive to students’ needs and cultures. When technology is combined with Problem-Based Learning (PBL), it can be a powerful aid to help pre-service teachers build cultural literacy and the skills needed to be responsive to students’ needs. This chapter presents a single case study of the highly successful academic outcomes through the wedding of PBL and technology.

Social media provides people from all socio-economic sectors with the opportunity to voice their opinions. Platforms such as Twitter provide the means to share one’s opinion with little effort and cost. But do these media empower everyday people to make their voice heard? In this research, we introduce a novel approach for investigating the voice of different Twitter groups on social media platforms, by combining text clustering and an analysis of cliques in the resulting network. We focus on a case study using Twitter interactions with respect to energy issues, in particular the closure of coal-fired power stations such as Hazelwood. Implications from this study will benefit stakeholders from governments to industry to the ‘common man’, in understanding how discourse on social media reflects public consumer sentiment.

This paper presents a utilization of the information mining technique to decide the financial profiles of the public clinics in Turkey. The review depends on the information accumulated in 2004, covering 645 public clinics run by the Ministry of Health (MoH) as the fundamental supplier of essential and optional wellbeing administrations in Turkey. The public medical clinics, as of now financed by a combination of assets allotted from the overall spending plan and separately worked rotating reserves, need critical answers for their financial issues as a piece of a continuous public change exertion. The examination takes on the Chi-Square Automatic Interaction Detector (CHAID) choice tree calculation, as one of the most efficient and cutting-edge information digging technique utilized for division. The investigation has discovered that the public clinics could be sorted by the CHAID into 12 unique profiles as far as their financial execution. These profiles have directed us in deciding the key financial markers to be engaged upon in the public emergency clinics and present accepted procedures to work on their individual financial exhibitions. The findings have likewise permitted strategy ideas regarding the financial techniques that might be considered in working on the financial execution of the public medical clinics toward an effective wellbeing area change in Turkey.

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