A Novel Mobile and IOT Enabled Application for Smart Energy Meter

Smart Energy Meters have significantly helped in easy reporting of energy consumption and the measurement of the same, since their introduction. They have replaced mainstream method of the house to house energy consumption data recording, but they are still reading with a lot of data inconsistencies between participating parties (energy suppliers and consumers). The purpose of this research is to develop a mobile web application with Internet of Things (IOT) and short message service (SMS) for consistent, transparent recording, monitoring of energy consumed, amount billed, infrastructure theft and meter control. Arduino, sensors and relay modules are some of the hardware components used with communication application programming interface (API) accessed through the Wi-Fi module. The communication between the hardware and the server is the response based on different commands, which includes turning on and off, setting threshold, requesting consumption and even paid for consumed power. The app will enable the consumer monitor their current energy consumption through the web and android interface and remotely turn the meter on and off. Stored data can be retrieved at any time.

Bumbometer digital crowd game: collaboration through competition in entertainment events

The use of mobile devices, especially smartphones, is widespread across all social strata and age groups, helping to ensure faster access from anywhere, data collection, and more regular and frequent control to aid urban, environmental, and social management. In this scenario, the entertainment industry has benefited from this powerful individual technological resource in cultural and sporting events. In this way, this work presents a proposal for interaction and engagement in entertainment events in a more prosperous and more technological way, through the development of a collaborative and competitive mobile-­web crowd game, intended for enhancing interaction between the crowd and as a unified group, whether physically co-­located or online. The application, called Bumbometer, uses motion sensors during an interactive dynamic with the crowd applying concepts from Mobile Crowd Sensing and User eXperience. We conducted two experimental studies to evaluate the proposed technology, the first in a real scenario of a folk cultural festival and the second in a controlled environment, simulating an event considering a scenario in which users were geographically distant. The results indicate that people feel immersed and engaged during the interaction through the proposed game, which reinforces the statement that the game meets an increasingly growing need to use technologies to ensure more significant interaction and audience immersion at crowd entertainment events, a creative and far­-reaching form.

Brest Cancer Screening and Mobile Web App Intervention: Perceptions, Knowledge, and Needs among Native Women

American Indian (AI) women have the highest breast cancer mortality and lowest breast cancer screening rates in the U.S. The present study, in collaboration with the Yankton Sioux Tribe (YST) in South Dakota, sought to (1) identify the general public/professionals’ knowledge, attitudes, and needs for a mobile web app for breast cancer screening (wMammogram) intervention, and (2) inform development of the wMammogram intervention to improve Breast Cancer screening among YST women. Following a community-based participatory research approach, two focus groups were conducted in October 2020 with a total of 22 YST women aged 40-70 years, including 17 elderly women. Each group consisted of 11 community leaders, members, healthcare professionals. Qualitative analysis was conducted using grounded theory. Participants in both groups were generally favorable toward the wMammogram intervention, and noted a potential health benefit, particularly for women in their 50s to 60s. Key areas identified by participants for intervention include: (1) needs for better knowledge of breast cancer, screening, and prevention/early detection, (2) culturally tailored educational materials rooted in AI cultural values and beliefs (e.g., holistic wellness approach, Native lifestyles), (3) barriers (e.g., fear), (4) motivators (e.g., reminders), and (5) suggestions for acceptability (e.g., content and structure of messages). These results suggest that the wMammogram intervention, which is culturally tailored and addresses the community’s concerns, can be a feasible, acceptable, and effective tool to promote breast cancer screening among YST women. The results informed the development of an innovative health intervention to help reduce health disparities experienced in Indian Country.

Evaluation of a Mobile Web Application for Assessment Feedback

This paper reports an evaluation of a mobile web application, “MyFeedBack”, that can deliver both feedback and marks on assignments to students from their lecturer. It enables them to use any device anywhere, any time to check on, and receive their feedback. It keeps the feedback private to the individual student. It enables and successfully fosters dialogue about the feedback between the students and the educator. Feedback and marks were already being delivered using the institution’s learning environment/management system “Moodle”. The study used a sequential explanatory mixed-method approach. Two hundred thirty-nine (239) participants were reported on their experiences of receiving feedback and divided among several groups: (a) feedback delivered in “Moodle”, (b) formative feedback in “MyFeedBack”, and (c) summative feedback in “MyFeedBack”. Overall, results showed a statistically significant more positive attitude towards “MyFeedBack” than “Moodle”, with the summative assessment subgroup being more positive than the formative subgroup. There was an unprecedented increase in communication and feedback dialogue between the lecturer and the students. Qualitative results enriched and complemented the findings. The paper provides guidelines for an enabling technology for assessment feedback. These offer insight into the extent to which any of the new apps and functionalities that have become available since this study might likely be favourably viewed by learners and help achieve the desired pedagogical outcomes. These include: (1) accessible using any device, making feedback accessible anywhere, anytime; (2) display feedback first (before the grade/mark); (3) enable personalisation of group feedback by the teacher; (4) provide privacy for each student; (5) facilitate dialogue and communication about the feedback; and (6) include a monitoring feature. Three goals already put forward in the literature—(1) making the feedback feel more personal, (2) getting a quicker turnround by making it easier for the teachers to achieve this, and (3) prompting more dialogue between the educators and students—are advanced by this study which shows how they can be supported by software, and that when they are achieved then users strongly approve them.
