<p>The gsymblib brings symbols and patterns useful in the earth and planetary geological mapping into QGIS, the desktop GIS application from the OSGeo geospatial software stack. Styling for points, lines, fill patterns and gradients are included.   Apart from the symbols' library,  gsymblib offers a build mechanism that allows to incrementally add and update symbols of the library.  This way, even small contributions will enhance the size and quality of the library.  The project is currently hosted and developed on Github at https://github.com/afrigeri/geologic-symbols-qgis, where the uses can choose to download only the symbols' library or the entire development environment to implement new symbols and contribute back to the project.  Currently, the library includes more than 100 user-contributed symbols and patterns defined by the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) for planetary geologic mapping, but others from different mapping authorities/institutions can be added. </p>

There is an increased prevalence of heart diseases in developing countries and continuous monitoring of heart beats is very much important to reduce hospital visits, health costs and complications. The Internet of Things (IoT) equipped with microcontrollers and sensors can give an easy and cost-effective remote health monitoring. We developed a Heart Beat monitoring module based on an android application. The software involved was the Android Application developed using Android Studio, which is the Integrated Development Environment (IDE). This app retrieved the data from the open IoT platform thingspeak.com. A highly sensitive Pulse Sensor was used to measure the heartbeat of the patient automatically. An Arduino Uno microcontroller interfaced with a Wi-Fi module ESP8266 used to transmit pulse reading over the internet using Wi-Fi. The heartbeat was displayed on the LCD of the patient in run-time. The heartbeat in beats per minute (BPM) was plotted against time (minutes). A mounted pulse sensor to the patient had monitored the heartbeat and transmitted it in the form of voltage signal to the microcontroller, which converted it back into a mathematical value. The Arduino transmitted the data onto the thingspeak.com portal, where it was plotted on a graph and the values were stored for future assessment. The user of the app was given a things peak API and the channel number as an access code, through which physician or nurse can accessed the patient’s data. IoT based heartbeat module as an android application can provide a convenient, cost effective and continuous remote measurements for heart patients to help physicians and nurses update. This app can reduce the burden of hospital visits or admissions for elderly patients.

Saat ini banyak orang tua memberikan fasilitas smartphone pada anaknya dengan alasan agar komunikasi antara mereka tetap terjaga, terutama bagi orang tua yang sibuk dengan karirnya. Namun sayangnya, kecendrungan anak-anak untuk memilih bermalas-malasan dengan smartphone yang dimiliki dibandingkan dengan melaksanakan kewajiban mereka. Sehingga smartphone yang harusnya memberikan manfaat positif justru menjadikan perilaku anak cenderung mengarah ke hal yang negatif. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan sebuah aplikasi mobile untuk orang tua dan anak yang dapat membantu mengurangi perilaku negatif anak menjadi ke arah yang lebih positif. Metode waterfall digunakan untuk pembangun aplikasi ini. Sedangkan untuk pembuatan aplikasi ini, penulis memilih Android Studio sebagai Integrated Development Environment (IDE) untuk pengembangan aplikasi. Aplikasi Parenting berbasis Android ini dapat membantu orang tua dalam pembentukan perilaku positif anak disamping kesibukannya. Pada aplikasi ini, orang tua dapat memberikan daftar tugas yang harus diselesaikan olah anak dengan rentang waktu tertentu. Pada login anak, anak dapat memberikan status tugas yang telah diberikannya. Jika anak telah menyelesaikan tugasnya, orang tua dapat memeriksa dan memberikan skor tugas tersebut, dimana skor tersebut akan terakumulasi. Pada posisi skor tertentu, orang tua dapat memberikan reward kepada anaknya
