IoT for Industrial and Home Automation is emerging with a big bang, has huge potential for every field to be used. When there is a need for efficient means to seek IoT interface, a cloud server is what strikes in every design and applications. There are numerous aspects in building a real-time IoT interface, but IoT through cloud can be a source of multiple gains in contrast to its peers such as edge computing [1]. Industrial and Home Automation involve an excellent delivery protocol for an error-free effective transmission in the internet. MQTT protocol is a better option to facilitate the requirements of IoT through its smooth implementation, Quality of Service and data delivery. In today’s world, IoT cloud providers compete to provide reasonable and precise IoT based utilities. Despite extensive engagement of these IoT clouds, we have not initiated standard regularization or few comparative analytical investigations across the research databases. An IoT application calls for diverse resources of a particular cloud and hence it calls for a survey on IoT cloud concerning Latency, interval for subsequent update, user-friendliness, IFTTT compatibility, data handling, processing data, storage limits, servers used and security. An analyses of five of the most eminent clouds (Adafruit IO, Amazon Web Service (AWS), Blynk, Thingspeak and Ubidots) based on the above-described specifications are the factors of motivation for this paper and hence matches the best cloud suited to serve specific purpose and applications.

Abstract In this paper we discuss advantages and disadvantages of e-dictionaries over print dictionaries in order to answer one increasingly relevant question: is digital always better? We compare the e-content from Oxford University Press and Merriam-Webster flagship dictionaries against their most recent print counterparts. The resulting data shows that the move from print to digital, against popular perception, results in a loss of lexicographical detail and scope. After assessing the user-friendliness of the e-dictionaries’ sites in both desktop and mobile app formats, we conclude that Merriam-Webster currently utilizes the digital medium somewhat better, while Oxford University Press is the current market leader in collaborations with tech giants such as Google. Most crucially, however, both companies have yet to devise and implement optimal ways to balance advertising noise and lexicographical content. Finally, we compare the virtual popularity of e-dictionaries according to their social media efforts and product partnerships. The greatest problem e-dictionaries currently face is that content does routinely change in unspecified and even undocumented ways. Despite these significant disadvantages, the convenience of mobile online accessibility appears to outweigh the concern with the reliability and quality of content.

To understand the implementation quality of the Tier 1 Program (Secondary 1 Curriculum) of the Project P.A.T.H.S. (Positive Adolescent Training through Holistic Social Programmes) in the full implementation phase, 100 schools were randomly selected to participate in personal and/or telephone interviews regarding the quality of the implementation process of the Tier 1 Program. In the interviews, the participants described the responses of the students to the program, the perceived benefits of the program, the perceived good aspects of the program, and the areas requiring improvement, difficulties encountered in the implementation process, and perceived attributes of the worker-support scheme (“Co-Walker Scheme”). Results showed that most workers perceived that the students had positive responses to the program and the program was beneficial to the students. They also identified several good aspects in the program, although negative comments on the program design and difficulties in the implementation process were also recorded. Roughly half of the respondents had positive comments on the “Co-Walker Scheme”. In sum, the respondents generally regarded the program as beneficial to the students and they were satisfied with the Tier 1 Program (Secondary 1 Curriculum) in the full implementation phase, although some implementation difficulties were also expressed.

Accelerating the introduction of a new technological package is needed to increase the productivity of high elevation puddled rice in Humbang Hasundutan. The objectives of the study are to find out the perception of the existence of technological packages and farmers' preference for a new technological package. The study used a survey method with primary data gathered using questionnaires. The criteria of locations and respondents were used to obtain relevant respondents and data concerning their knowledge of high elevation puddled rice cultivation.  The collected data were processed by using Importance Performance Analysis in order to find out the level of Importance and Satisfaction of the indicators and the valued aspects in the technological package components. The results of the study showed that the socio-economic aspects had to be heeded in organizing the technological package. Indicators having a high level of importance and a low level of satisfaction consisted of production cost, quality of seeds, farmer groups empowerment, technology information institution, capital cost, agricultural tools and machines, pest control, sales price, irrigation canals, and farm roads. On the other hand, introducing new superior seeds, productivity attribute and planting age were important indicators for local farmers as to improve the quality of existing seeds. Farmers group expected that the technological package had a high level of productivity, better access to input, low cost, and good user-friendliness in its application.

Abstract The present study examined the implementation quality of the Tier 1 Program of Project P.A.T.H.S. (Positive Adolescent Training through Holistic Social Programmes) at Secondary 2 level in the third year of the initial phase of the project in Hong Kong. Classroom observations of 222 units in 148 schools were conducted under the co-walker scheme. Results generally showed that the overall level of program adherence was high and different dimensions of program delivery were positively correlated amongst themselves. Instructors’ use of positive and supportive feedback, degree of achievement of the objectives, and lesson preparation significantly predicted both the overall implementation quality and perceived success of the program. While instructors’ interactive delivery method and their familiarity with the students predicted overall implementation quality, student participation and involvement, and opportunity for reflection were predictive of implementation success. In conjunction with other evaluation findings, the present study lends further support to the high implementation quality of Project P.A.T.H.S. in Hong Kong.

In this article, a framework of privacy-preserving inpainting for outsourced image and an encrypted-image inpainting scheme are proposed. Different with conventional image inpainting in plaintext domain, there are two entities, that is, content owner and image restorer, in our framework. Content owner first encrypts his or her damaged image for privacy protection and outsources the encrypted, damaged image to image restorer, who may be a cloud server with powerful computation capability. Image restorer performs inpainting in encrypted domain and sends the inpainted and encrypted image back to content owner or authorized receiver, who can acquire final inpainted result in plaintext domain through decryption. In our encrypted-image inpainting scheme, with the assist of Johnson–Lindenstrauss transform that can preserve Euclidean distance between two vectors before and after encryption, the best-matching block with the smallest distance to current block can be found and utilized for patch filling in Paillier-encrypted image. To eliminate mosaic effect after decryption, weighted mean filtering in encrypted domain is conducted with Paillier homomorphic properties. Experimental results show that our privacy-preserving inpainting framework can be effectively applied in secure cloud computing, and the proposed encrypted-image inpainting scheme achieves comparable visual quality of inpainted results with some typical inpainting schemes in plaintext domain.
