this paper presents a new social-networking concept and solution for effective appointment-scheduling and status communication between groups of people. The concept is driven by the widespread adoption of social-networking platforms among people as a result of daily internet usage. People became connected most of the time with other users of a social network. According to studies and statistics, usage of smartphone applications for social networking is increasing rapidly in the past years. This paper introduces Status Wheel application as a solution to some of the common problems facing social network users via smartphones. Such problems include the issue of a well-managed time schedule and appointments. This may lead to more people going out at peak hours to meet a teacher or a co-worker, which creates avoidable traffic-jams. So, an effective platform for quick user status updates and communication with other concerned individual is needed. This paper introduces Status Wheel smartphone application. It promotes communication through sharing of users’ current status. Convenient user-experience is studied and given paramount importance as well.

Relevant Factors

The common problems faced by students in English speaking are anxiety and the lack of confidence and ideas. This research was conducted to determine the relevant factors and to provide a solution by using the smartphone video camera. To obtain the data in this research, experimental research was performed inside and outside the classroom with a series of treatments and a questionnaire sheet as the instrument. The data were analyzed using a model proposed by Smeda, Dakich, and Sharda (2014) and a Likert scale questionnaire, which was adapted from Spratt, Humphreys, and Chan (2002). The result from the test showed a significant difference between the experimental and control classes as the carried t-test presented the score of -8.36, which was out of the limit (between -1.96 and 1.96). Another result was the students developed positively which was shown by: the anxiety tends to decrease as they were given time before performing thus prepared better, their self-confidence was increased and challenged by using the smartphone video camera method due to the application of innovation in the speaking class. The conclusion of this research is lecturer needs to apply new methods, one of which is using a smartphone application.

Long Time

During the past few years, hundreds of thousands of Danes have created personal profiles on websites such as Arto, Facebook and MySpace. With the emergence and popularisation of these sites, we have witnessed a new media concept: social network(ing) sites. As is often the case with new media, teenagers have been the first to take social network sites to heart. In this paper I discuss the concept of online social networking and describe how social network sites are used as part of everyday teenage life to maintain social relations. I do this, firstly, by presenting a number of concepts that I consider to be important in relation to young people's use of social network sites. Secondly, I highlight some results from my own research on 12-18-year-old children and adolescents’ use of various social network sites, including Arto.com, which has been Danish teenagers’ preferred venue on the Internet for a relatively long time. Using empirical examples, I analyse and discuss how social network sites are an integral part of the young users' friendships and social lives. The article is based on four years of ethnographic studies.

Common Problems

Practitioners working with OCD sufferers are sometimes presented with complicated issues that make it difficult to see significant progress within a client’s treatment. Being skilled at recognizing when treatment is at a standstill is important in and of itself. It is impossible to predict all of the problems that can arise, but being mindful of common glitches can support therapists in recognizing the barriers that sometimes make clients and therapists feel stuck. Discord within a client’s sense of self, fear, lack of trust, time management, family dynamics, and comorbidities are some of the common themes therapists see come up for their clients. There are also matters related to logistics and ethics that therapists may face. This chapter includes illustrations of real-life situations that therapists can take note of, as well as suggestions on how to address the obstacles to better support clients in reaching their goals for OCD wellness. Also included is a list of books, articles, and other resources.

Global Platform

This chapter describes how over the past decade, there has been a tremendous growth in the subscriber base of social networking sites. These networking websites or SNS have provided a global platform to people—to connect and express. However, SNS platforms seem to be fast losing ground to Instant Messaging (IM) Applications (Apps), WhatsApp being the frontrunner. WhatsApp offers a much superior user experience in terms of connectivity, expression, and security. WhatsApp is simple to use: it can be downloaded on any smartphone, and only needs a mobile SIM card and an internet connection. At the same time, security issues are also working against the SNS. This study aims to analyze the changing ‘social networking scenario' in India. This research is based on the facts analyzed after a comprehensive survey conducted on a sample picked up from four Indian metro cities. Findings reveal that the young population is fascinated by WhatsApp due to the ease of operating the App and the quick communication that it provides. Users reported spending less time now on Facebook than they did before WhatsApp was introduced.

ne of the common problems confronting the morphologist is the elucidation f the three-dimensional (3-D) nature of biological structures from twoimensional micrographs. Serial section analysis can alleviate this problem omewhat, but it becomes increasingly difficult to mentally reconstruct tructures encompassing more than a few sections. For the past decade, the se of computers has been applied to the generation of 3-D reconstructions rom serial micrographs. Until recently, however, the costs of both ardware and software for 3-D reconstructions have been prohibitively xpensive for most laboratories.

Examination Process

Asthma rates in the US have risen during the past 25 years, as have asthma-related morbidity and healthcare costs. Professional organizations involved in asthma care have identified the need to assure that an advanced level of asthma knowledge and skill is available to patients with asthma, their families, and insurers. This need led to development of the certification for asthma educators. The Certified Asthma Educator (AE-C) must meet specific clinical criteria and pass a standardized examination designed to evaluate knowledge and skill for providing competent asthma education and coordination. The development and current status of the Certified Asthma Educator examination process and content are discussed, as are goals of the certification
