<p>As part of the innovation in the laboratory teaching of Natural Sciences, an experimental path of learning of Atmospheric Sciences and Microclimates is proposed in continuation and evolution, which was presented with a poster at the GIFT workshop 2017, an experience of project, construction and use of a mobile and portable Weather Station with digital features.By identifying the main parameters that measure the physical characteristics of the lower troposphere and the corresponding sensors responsible for detecting instantaneous weather data, a project was developed for the construction of a mini weather station with an assembly system of modular electronic components in "open source" , such as those of the "Arduino" platform (series of electronic boards equipped with a microcontroller). In this way, a device for controlling the main weather parameters (temperature, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, ...) in real time in any part of the territory was achieved relatively quickly and easily. The hardware platform in pre-assembled version, with specific microcontrollers and USB interface for connections to the most advanced computer devices, together with the sensors, which can be acquired through the online network, allow you to create a completely inexpensive but absolutely professional, effective and efficient weather mobile system as well as easily transportable in various external and internal environments. The subsequent data collection, through visualization with advanced technology display and fast and online communication networks, by means of applications for mobile systems (tablets and smartphones), integrated by field observations, define the instantaneous weather and to process meteorological data in statistical terms with simple operations and graphs.</p>

General Data

With the availability of reliable and low-cost DNA sequencing, human genomics is relevant to a growing number of end-users, including biologists and clinicians. Typical interactions require applying comparative data analysis to huge repositories of genomic information for building new knowledge, taking advantage of the latest findings in applied genomics for healthcare. Powerful technology for data extraction and analysis is available, but broad use of the technology is hampered by the complexity of accessing such methods and tools. This work presents GeCoAgent, a big-data service for clinicians and biologists. GeCoAgent uses a dialogic interface, animated by a chatbot, for supporting the end-users’ interaction with computational tools accompanied by multi-modal support. While the dialogue progresses, the user is accompanied in extracting the relevant data from repositories and then performing data analysis, which often requires the use of statistical methods or machine learning. Results are returned using simple representations (spreadsheets and graphics), while at the end of a session the dialogue is summarized in textual format. The innovation presented in this article is concerned with not only the delivery of a new tool but also our novel approach to conversational technologies, potentially extensible to other healthcare domains or to general data science.

A weather station is a facility located either on land or sea consisting of instruments and equipment which can be used to measure atmospheric conditions so as to provide weather forecasts information and to study the weather. The existing instruments used for measuring the weather elements are expensive which led to the development of a low-cost Arduino-based weather station. The developed low-cost weather station consists of three separate modules which are data collection, data storage, and data communication. These modules communicate serially with each other and are controlled by three separate microcontrollers (Arduino Uno). The data collection module is interfaced with a set of sensors that collects temperature and humidity. The weather data were viewed in real-time through a graphical user interface (GUI) located at the central station. The developed weather station was able to measure the temperature and humidity of a controlled environment, giving the reading at interval of five minutes. It was observed that the average temperature from results obtained (27.360C) with the developed low-cost Arduino based weather station falls within the range of the Accuweather readings (24.00-28.000C). Also, the average humidity of the developed low-cost Arduino based weather station (80.41%) falls within the range of the Weatherspark humidity (78-82%) on 20th August 2019. Therefore, this system can be adopted as a weather station facility. The design can be extended to be web-based in the future to make it available worldwide.Keywords— Arduino Uno, Humidity, RF Transceiver, Temperature, Weather Station

Indonesia is a country that has unique weather that provides not only abundant natural resources but also can causes disasters at any time. To reduce the threat of losses, observing weather elements using a weather station is a solution that can be used. The development of systems related to environmental monitoring and weather stations is not new. However, most research focuses on various innovations in utilization, low cost and power savings. These studies have not touched on the aspect of ease of system development, especially in the concept of adding nodes. Indonesia, as a country with diverse regional topography, needs an integrated weather monitoring system with the concept of centralized data collection to get a complete picture.In this study, a portable mini weather station system was built named Amicagama. This system is built with the concept of high scalability which means the system is designed to be used publicly, with each user able to manage the nodes which are their respective weather stations. Management by each user here means that each user can manage weather data to be submitted, add nodes at a new location, and can delete nodes at a certain location if something unexpected happens.

Agrometeorology plays an important role in Precision Agriculture for resource management and effects both the quality and quantity of agriculture products. The existing solutions for monitoring weather parameters in agrometeorology are highly global and costly. These solutions are most of the time are inaccessible to the common man or farmers and require frequent physical visits to the field for obtaining information. But in agriculture monitoring highly localized weather condition is required because the weather conditions applicable farm land of one city may not be as such for a farmer of small rural. Weather conditions such as wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, solar radiation, atmospheric pressure, air particle level humidity and temperature measurement plays an important role in different fields like Agriculture, Science, Engineering and Technology. The proposed work provides an optimal solution for monitoring the weather conditions at extremely local level with low cost, compact Internet of Things (IoT) based system. In this paper the design of the system is presented with the use of NodeMCU for realizing the low-cost solution. This low-cost weather station is a product equipped with sensors to measure atmospheric conditions like temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction which has predominant effect in agriculture. With embedded IoT connectivity, the proposed weather station is capable to upload the information to IoT cloud ad can be used for further analysis.The user can access the information uploaded by the system anywhere from the world with the help on mobile app or web link on laptop/desktop. The “Low cost Compact IoT enabled Weather Station” does not have any display which make the proposed system more power efficient with overall current rating of about only 80mA to 90mA.

Coastal area of Bitung Municipality is one of the economical activities centers in North Sulawesi Province such as for land-uses and the exploitation of natural resources. Those activities are exaggerating day bay day and tended to be uncontrollable. The excess of those conditions, it has been recorded the change of waves in Bitung waters that has impacts to coastal areas and can affect the utilization of coastal and marine resources. This research was aimed to observe waves altitude variations in Bitung waters with Svedrup Munk and Bretchsneider (SMB) method that had been used to predict waves altitudes. The results showed that the wind speed during West Season was 0.33 m and were dominant to the East, while during East season was 0.91m from South-East to North-West, and then on transition period (March to May) was 1.08m from South-East to East. The results of those wind speed to the waves altitudes in Bitung waters is discussed in this paper© Pesisir pantai Kota Bitung merupakan salah satu pusat aktivitas ekonomi (misalnya pemanfaatan lahan dan eksploitasi sumberdaya) di Provinsi Sulawesi Utara. Aktivitas tersebut semakin hari semakin meningkat dan memiliki kecenderungan tidak terkontrol. Akibat dari keadaan tersebut, telah terjadi perubahan fenomena gelombang di perairan Bitung yang berdampak pada keberadaan daerah pesisir pantai di mana hal ini dapat mengganggu aktivitas pemanfaatan sumberdaya pesisir dan laut tersebut.

This paper examines the perspectives of rural NEETs in the information society. Our analysis focuses on the situation of three European countries—Bulgaria, Romania, and Turkey—characterized by a high share of rural areas and a population of NEETs. From a methodological point of view, we use alternative research methods (secondary data analysis) with statistical methods (simple linear regression). From a theoretical point of view, we will opt for a multidimensional analysis perspective: the theory of digital divide, digital inclusion, virtual mobility, etc. Through data analysis, we expect to obtain a more complete and detailed picture of the ICT situation in rural areas (level of digital skills, level of digital inclusion) to demonstrate the importance of ICT in optimizing virtual mobility for the living conditions of the population, especially the NEET population.
