The aim of this thesis is to realise a low-cost wireless application for short range underwater communications, using ultrasonic frequencies. The project can be described in four main steps. The first one is a detailed study of the serial peripheral interface. It has been carried out in order to understand how to physically and logically connect, through SPI, the hardware involved in this work: a Raspberry Pi 3 model B and the MCP4822 digital to analog converter embedded in the ADC-DAC Pi Zero module. The second phase concerns a Simulink model created in order to reduce the complexity of the problem. It has been useful as a guideline for the development of the software. Then, the implementation step includes the full execution of the code, which processes information data and digital samples of a sine wave and converts them in their respective analog signals. Configurable parameters, as the amplitude and the frequency of the sinusoidal carrier, provide more flexibility to the system. The last testing phase consists in several measurements on the hardware to assess the reliability of the system, varying some parameters and comparing these results with the simulations, run on Simulink. The overall performance respects the low-cost nature of the Raspberry Pi: the analog signals exhibit phase noise due to the not perfect periodicity of the SPI clock but they are still reliable and clear enough for project purposes.

Full textAbstract:
This essay is a study of the use of IT technology by teachers of English and History at a Swedish upper secondary school. It is based on four interviews and four observations. In my analysis of these I have made use of the theory of Social Shaping of technology, a theory which puts emphasis on a teacher´s purpose regarding the use of IT technology in order to empower the teaching process. As a researcher I aim to explore the reasoning on the part of the teacher and to that end I use the method of interviews and observations. This study shows different ways of using IT technology varying from one teacher to another. The use of laptops and Ipads by students is frequent, laptops being used for writing and information seeking and Ipads for taking pictures, the recording of students´ own performance before making presentations in class and for communication with teachers. In addition to the methods mentioned above, I have used - "Som-seende" and half-structured interviews.

This work aims to present a system for parking spaces detection using opportunistic cameras. The central idea is to use images from cameras that are already installed to identify possible parking spaces. It is important to highlight that legal, privacy and security issues in using cameras for parking detection is out of scope. This work addressed the problem of how to use cameras opportunistically to detect free parking spaces. The idea for the solution is that by means of embedded systems, adapted them to the cameras already installed in the city, we can successfully design the detection of vacancies. The main objective of this work is to present the feasibility of using embedded systems to detect parking spaces, for such, it is proposed three image processing techniques to solve the problem and as main contribution it is presented a distributed architecture for use of cameras opportunistically to obtain the images. The major contributions of this work were the development of three image processing techniques for vehicle detection; a distributed and opportunistic architecture proposal using cameras to detect parking spaces; comparative evaluation of the proposed architecture and two other existing architectures; a routing algorithm for routing requests in the Embedded architecture Initially, it was evaluated three proposed image processing techniques to detect parking spaces, the best technique was the Dilation after Border Detection with a success rate close to 100%, this evaluation was performed to choose the technique used in the rest of this work. After choose the best technique, it was performed an experiment using the proposed architecture and two others that are used for comparison, the result of the experiment demonstrated the feasibility of use the Embedded architecture. To conduct large experiments is a complex task, because of this a simulation was developed using the network simulator Sinalgo to analyze four variables in the system (communication radius, number of auxiliary cameras, amount of simultaneous requests and percentage of failed cameras). The simulation result shows that the factors with the greatest influence on the variation of the average times of the requests are the size of the communication radius and the amount of auxiliary cameras.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior
Este trabalho apresenta um sistema para detecção de vagas de estacionamento utilizando câmeras de forma oportunista. A ideia central é a utilização de imagens provenientes de câmeras já instaladas para verificar a existência de vagas de estacionamento. É importante ressaltar que questões legais, de segurança e privacidade no uso de câmeras para detecção de vagas de estacionamento estão fora do escopo desta dissertação. Neste trabalho é abordado o problema de como utilizar câmeras de forma oportunista para detecção de vagas de estacionamento. A ideia para a solução é que por intermédio de sistemas embarcados, adaptado-os às câmeras já instaladas na cidade, podemos conceber satisfatoriamente a detecção de vagas. O objetivo principal deste trabalho é apresentar a viabilidade da utilização de sistemas embarcados para detecção de vagas de estacionamento. Para tal são propostas três técnicas de processamento de imagens para resolução do problema e como principal contribuição temos a apresentação de uma arquitetura distribuída para utilização de câmeras de forma oportunista para obtenção das imagens. As principais contribuições deste trabalho são a avaliação de três técnicas de processamento de imagens para detecção de veículos; proposta de uma arquitetura distribuída e oportunista utilizando câmeras para detecção de vagas de estacionamento; uma avaliação comparativa entre a arquitetura proposta e outras duas arquiteturas existentes; e um algoritmo de roteamento para encaminhamento das requisições na arquitetura Embutida. Inicialmente foram avaliadas três técnicas propostas de processamento de imagens para detecção de vagas de estacionamento, sendo a melhor delas a Dilatação após Detecção de Borda com uma eficácia de aproximadamente 100%. Essa avaliação serviu para escolhermos a técnica usada no restante do trabalho. Após a escolha da técnica, realizamos um experimento utilizando a arquitetura proposta e outras duas que serviram para comparação. O resultado do experimento demonstrou a viabilidade da utilização da arquitetura Embutida. Como realizar experimentos de grande porte é uma tarefa complexa, foi desenvolvida uma simulação utilizando o simulador de redes Sinalgo para analisar quatro variáveis no sistema (raio de comunicação, quantidade de câmeras auxiliares, quantidade de requisições simultâneas e percentual de falhas nas câmeras). Com o resultado da simulação pode-se concluir que os fatores com maior influência na variação dos tempos médios das requisições são o tamanho do raio de comunicação e a quantidade de câmeras auxiliares.

Skolans styrdokument ställer krav på att lärare och elever ska använda digitala medier i undervisningen och digital kompetens ses som en nyckelkomponent för ett livslångt lärande. Syftet är att analysera interaktionen mellan lärare och elever under problemlösningssituationer i matematikundervisningen med smart-board som medierande artefakt. Studien har ett sociokulturellt perspektiv. Empirin är insamlad genom video-observationer och studien är öppen och kvalitativ. Empirin består av fyra filmade och transkriberade sekvenser som innefattar fyra olika elever och hur de arbetar med problemlösning med smart-boarden som medierande artefakt. Empirin är analyserad utifrån EMA-modellen, som bygger på idéer från John Deweys pragmatiska filosofi. Resultatet visar att interaktionen styrs av läraren eftersom att det är läraren som styr över talutrymmet, men även vilka elever som ska vara delaktiga i interaktionen. Interaktionens fokus är ett sökande efter rätt svar. Det lärande som möjliggörs i de filmade situationerna är att finna lämpliga strategier för att lösa problemet.The school's governing documents require teachers and students to use digital media in education and digital literacy is seen as a key component of lifelong learning. The aim is to analyze the interaction between teachers and students in problem-solving situations in mathematics education with smart-board as mediating artifact. The study has a socio-cultural perspective. The empirical data is collected through video observation and the study is open and qualitative. The empirical data consists of four filmed and transcribed sequences involving four different students and how they work with problem solving with smart-board as a mediating artifact. The empirical data is analyzed by the EMA model, based on the ideas of John Dewey's pragmatic philosophy. The result shows that the interaction is controlled by the teacher because the teacher has control over the linguistic space, but he also choose which students who are getting involved in the interaction. Interaction focus is the search for the right answer. The learning that is made possible in filming situations is to find appropriate strategies to solve the problem

Full textAbstract:
Playing chess on a smart phone has gained popularity in the last few years, offering the convenience of correspondence play, automatic recording of a game, etc. Although a good number of players love playing chess on a tablet/smart phone, it doesn't come close to the experience of playing over the traditional board. The feel and pleasure are more real when playing face down with the opponent sitting across each other rather than playing in mobile devices. This is especially true during chess tournaments. It would be ideal to enhance the experience of playing chess on board with the features of chess playing on smart phones. Based on the design of a roll able smart chess board, an android app has been implemented to interact with the board. It reads signals from the smart chess board and maps the movements of the chess pieces to the phone. The recorded play would be used as input for game analysis. The design and implementation of a server for playing and reviewing a game online have also been studied in this thesis.

Full textAbstract:
Millions have been spent in the Southern Gulf Coast states on equipping classrooms with Smart Board/interactive whiteboard (IWB) technology without an implementation plan for effective usage in lesson design and without teachers knowing how to best use these boards. The purpose of this project study was to explore the challenges and barriers that teachers face while using their IWB. Framed by the theories of adoption of technology within the K-12 classroom and self-efficacy of teachers regarding technology, the guiding research questions identified the challenges related to integrating IWB technology into lessons, as well the needs of teachers who are trying to implement this technology. This mixed-methods case study design included a convenient sample of 8 teachers and the data sets were collected by interviews and surveys. Interview analysis included coding and member checking and 3 themes emerged during analysis: (a) technical difficulties, (b) lack of sufficient professional development, and (c) finding resources for the Smart Board. The survey analysis entailed descriptive statistics and those survey results combined with the interview analysis found that teachers have problems incorporating Smart Board technology and require professional development in regards to integrating IWB technology into effective and efficient teaching and learning. The resulting outcome of this research was a comprehensive plan for an ongoing professional learning community designed to assist the teachers in gaining knowledge and skills needed to integrate IWB technology. This knowledge will improve professional practice at the local setting and provide a model for such training at the district level and beyond.

Full textAbstract:
A digital board typically contains a heterogeneous
mixture of chips: microprocessors, memory,
control and I/O logic. Different testing
techniques are needed for each of these
components. To test the whole board, these
techniques must be integrated into an overall
testing strategy for the board. In this thesis,
we have applied a behavioral testing scheme to
test the board. Each component chip is tested by
observing the behavior of the system in response
to the test code, i.e. the component under test
is not isolated from the rest of the circuit
during test. This obviates the need for the
extra hardware used for isolating the chips that
is required for structural testing. But this is
done at the cost of reduced fault location,
although fault detection is still adequate.
We have applied the start small approach to
behavioral testing. We start by testing a small
core of functions. Then, only those functions
already tested are used to test the remaining
behavior. The grand goal is testing the whole
board. This is divided into goals for testing
each of the individual chips, which is further
subdivided into sub-goals for each of the
sub-functions of the board or sub-goals for
testing for the most common faults in a
component. Each component is tested one by one.
Once a component passes, it is put in a passed
items set and then can be used in testing the
remaining components. Using the start small
approach helps isolate the faults to the chip
level and thus results in better fault location
than the simple behavioral testing scheme in
which there is no concept of passed items set and
its usage. As an example, this testing approach
is applied to a microcontroller based temperature
sensor board. This code is run on the VHDL model
of the system, and then also on the actual
system. For modeling the system in VHDL, Synopsys
Smart model library components are used. Faults
are injected in the system and then the
performance of the strategy is evaluated. This
strategy is found to be very effective in
detecting internal faults of the chip and
locating the faults to the chip level. The
interconnection faults are difficult to locate
although they are detected in most of the cases.
Different scenarios for incorporating this scheme
in legacy systems are also discussed.Master of Science

Interactive whiteboards have become an emergent technology in K-12 education in the United States as well as other countries throughout the world (Johnson & Türel, 2012). There have been studies conducted on the perceived effectiveness of the SMART Board® (Beauchamp & Prakinson, 2005; Brown, 2004; Dolan, 2010; Erduran & Tataroðlu, 2010; Hennessy, Deaney, Ruthven, & Winterbottom, 2007; Johnson & Türel, 2012; Jones, 2004; Manzo, 2010; Marzano & Haystead, 2009; Şad, 2012; Saltan & Arslan, 2009; Schachter, 2011; Smith, Higgins, Wall, & Miller, 2005; Türel, 2011; Wood & Ashfield, 2008). There has also been a study on the correlation between the SMART Board and student achievement (Marzano & Haystead, 2009). The purpose of this qualitative case study was to observe the methods that teachers, who are above proficient with technology, use to integrate the SMART Board® into their daily lessons and interactively engage the students. A descriptive case study was conducted on four different teachers from four different elementary schools in a suburban mid-Atlantic school district in the United States. One teacher from grades second through fifth was observed. The use of multiple-cases helped strengthen the conclusions of the study (Yin, 2009). The data was collected through pre-observation and post-observation interviews with the teachers, a triple-journal written by the researcher, a parent questionnaire, and a student questionnaire. All of this data contributed to the conclusion that these teachers were in fact above proficient users of the SMART Board®, who would fall into Rogers (2003) adopter categories of innovator and early adopter. They also adopted at an appropriation level where they have successfully integrated a new technology into all daily activities (Whitehead, Jensen, & Boschee, 2003). The study found that the SMART Board® was perceived to be effective by the parents, teachers, and students from these schools in this one school district. 92% of the parents who responded to the parent questionnaire noted using a SMART Board® is beneficial to their child's education. All four teachers reflected in the post conference that the SMART Board® helped the students understand the concept of each observed lesson better than had they not used a SMART Board®. 81% of the students responded that they would remember these lessons better because the SMART Board® was used. These four teachers demonstrated skillful pedagogy with integrating the SMART Board® into their daily lessons. They used many different media and many different methods to interactively engage their students with the content. A major question that arose from the research was the definition of interactive. Is physical interaction with the SMART Board® required to cognitively interact with the content of the lesson?

Sedan en lång tid tillbaka har datorn haft en stor och betydande roll i skolans värld och många anser att den är ett bra hjälpmedel att använda sig av i undervisningen. Så därför väljer många skolor numera att koppla ihop datorn med den så kallade digitala skrivtavlan för att på ett nytt sätt komma åt och skapa lärande. Skolan har som uppdrag från olika håll, men framför allt ifrån Lgr 11 att de har i ansvar att lära eleverna att hantera modern teknik. Den digitala skrivtavlan ger stora möjligheter till detta, samt att den bidrar till utveckling och variation i undervisningen. I Sverige finns idag inte många studier kring den digitala skrivtavlan men med det som finns och tillsammans med annan tidigare forskning från andra världsdelar har jag valt att ur ett sociokulturellt samt ett dialogperspektiv titta närmare på de relationer och interaktioner som sker och uppstår vid användandet av den digitala skrivtavlan, samt hur vi skapar och ökar en djupare förståelse vid inlärning med visuell kommunikationsteknik, som den digitala skrivtavlan kan räknas in i. Till detta har jag valt att göra en observation och titta närmare på hur lärare samt elevers relationer och interaktioner i en klass kan se ut och påverkas i användandet av den digitala skrivtavlan. Jag gjorde observationen i en årskurs 2:a under ett flertal lektioner och jag tycktes se att lärarens och elevernas relationssamspel blev starkare. Gällande elevernas interaktion med den digitala skrivtavlan kunde jag se att de var aktiva under alla lektioner, genom att det fick både trycka samt skriva på den digitala skrivtavlan. Men det jag också kom fram till under observationen och tillsammans med tidigare forskning är att det är viktigt att de sker samtal för att lärande ska ske och det kan bara ske om läraren ger de språkliga verktyg som behövs genom att vara förberedd med bra och genomtänka pedagogiska modeller som kan ses och genomföras på den digitala skrivtavlan.

Syftet med examensarbetet är att få ökad vetskap om vad elever och lärare har för erfarenheter och inställningar till informations- och kommunikationsteknik, IKT, i skolan samt hur elever upplever att de lär genom IKT. För att uppnå syftet har vi utgått från följande problemställningar: Vad har elever och lärare för erfarenheter av Smart – board och dator i skolan? Vad har elever och lärare för inställning till Smart – board och dator i skolan? Hur upplever elever att de lär genom Smart – board och dator?Vi har utfört en kvalitativ undersökning på en skola i skolår 4. Vi har intervjuat elever och lärare samt utfört observationer. I arbetet tas olika teoretikers syn på barns utveckling och lärande upp. Tidigare forskning visar på att IKT har en positiv inverkan på bland annat elevers motivation och engagemang i skolarbetet. Internationell forskning tyder på att elever upplever IKT som ett bra verktyg i skolan dock har det en liten påverkan på läs- och skrivinlärning. Studien visar att elever och lärare har ett intresse och en positiv inställning till IKT. Eleverna upplever att de lär då de använder IKT och vill få möjlighet till mer IKT – baserad undervisning i skolan.

I dagens samfunn dukker nye teknologiske gjenstander opp på markedet med hyppige mellomrom. Mange av disse finner også veien inn i klasserommet. Interaktive tavler er et av flere eksempel, og det er disse som er tema her. Hvordan møter lærerne disse verktøyene? Hvordan tas de i bruk, og hvorfor? Denne oppgaven ser på den sosio-tekniske endringsprosess som oppstår når ny teknologi skal implementeres i en ny kontekst. Oppgaven er brukerfokusert, og det er lærernes opplevelser som er det sentrale. Den skolepolitiske diskursen her til lands har lenge vært preget av en sterk sammenkobling mellom digitale verktøy og elevenes læring. Undersøkelser viser derimot at det er store bruksforskjeller blant ulike lærere og ulike skoler, og det ropes derfor på behov for kompetanseheving blant lærerne og på et «digitalt løft». Blant annet hevdes det, at dersom lærerne skal kunne ta i bruk teknologien på en tilfredsstillende måte, er det ikke nok å kun ha kjennskap til teknologien – teknologien må bli en internalisert del av lærernes handlingsmønster. Det er hvordan denne prosessen foregikk hos en gruppe lærere som er det emiriske hovedfokuset i denne oppgaven. Ved å studere deres handlinger ut i fra et domestiseringsperspektiv får vi innsikt i både deres praktiske tilegnelse, deres symbolske meningsdanning og de erfaringer de gjør seg i løpet av en slik prosess. Samtidig erkjennes det at lærere, som alle andre, handler innenfor en sosial kontekst. Lærerne møter dermed ikke de interaktive tavlene i et vakuum, deres forståelse, bruksmønster og meningsdannelse blir preget av aktører i deres nære omgivelser. Jeg har identifisert skoleledelse, styresmakter og teknologi-produsenten som slike aktører. Det legges derfor vekt på de visjoner, eller de script, hver av disse tillegger teknologien og på hvordan dette påvirker lærernes domestisering av de interaktive tavlene. Oppgaven viser først og fremst at innføringen av ny teknologi i skolen er en kompleks prosess. Gjennom lærernes egne beskrivelser av sin omgang med teknologien kommer det også frem at de i stor grad var aktive og handlende brukere. Det var ingen av lærerne som satt og ventet på å bli «kompetansehevet.» Tvert i mot tok de grep om egen situasjon og tilegenet seg både egne måter å lære teknologien, bruke den, og også å forankre den gjennom meningsdannelse.Masteroppgave 52,5 stp.

Full textAbstract:
This study set out to investigate how the use of a Smart Board impacts on the teaching and learning of algebraic functions. The research took place in a school equipped with Smart Boards in each Mathematics classroom. Data collection involved lesson observations in three classes over three lessons each. The teachers and learners were interviewed post observation and the data obtained were analysed according to Sfard‘s three-phase model framework to determine if the learners had a procedural or object view of a function after having been taught on a Smart Board. The findings show that by using a Smart Board learners had both procedural and object view of functions however, much of the teaching occurred in a way which would have been possible without the use of a Smart Board, indicating that teachers did not fully utilise the potential of such a technological tool. However, it emerged that visualisation played an important role in allowing learners to operate on functions as objects. So while the visualization that technology enables encouraged reification or allowed teachers and learners to operate on functions as a whole or even on families of functions, this appeared simply to 'speed up‘ the normal teaching-learning process rather than promote the explorative and investigative aspect of learning. Still, it must be acknowledged that this kind of practice is bound to strengthen these learners‘ function concepts as was evident in the ways they appeared to operate confidently on the objects as shown in the study. It must be acknowledged that teachers were extremely enthusiastic about the possibilities of the technology and were inspired to use technology more in their lessons to allow learners‘ visualisation of concepts. Positive comments made by learners showed that they too, were also motivated by the use of the Smart Board.Thesis (M.Ed.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2011.

Tese de mestrado em Engenharia Informática, apresentada à Universidade de Lisboa, através da Faculdade de Ciências, 2007The work reported in this document was developed for projects SCOPE and JoinTS. Both projects offer a set of tools which aim at facilitating the use of mobile devices and electronic documents in the cognitive psychotherapy context. Regarding project SCOPE, a form-filling tool was identified and developed for Pocket PC and PC as well as a result analysis tool for those artifacts. Due to the intrinsic characteristics of such devices and the area of intervention, interface design must be very cautious in a sense that it should focus ease-of-use and perception of the available functions on the applications. With the objective of evaluating both the interfaces and the developed applications, a few tests took place in the scope of a course to register some results about usability. Following project SCOPE, project JoinTS extends all concepts and ideas around individual psychotherapy to its group counterpart. The use of mobile devices and large public displays hasn't been approached by existing groupware, due to the special constraints imposed by the field of study. We aim, with the identified tools and their configurations, at giving computational support both therapists' and patients' tasks in both in and off session scenarios.
O trabalho descrito neste documento foi desenvolvido no âmbito dos projectos SCOPE e JoinTS. Ambos projectos propõem um conjunto de ferramentas que permitam facilitar o uso de dispositivos móveis e de documentos em formato electrónico no contexto da terapia cognitiva. No âmbito do projecto SCOPE, foram identificadas e desenvolvidas ferramentas de preenchimento de artefactos electrónicos para Pocket PC e PC, e uma ferramenta de análise de resultados do preechimento desses mesmos artefactos. Devido às características intrínsecas dos dispositivos móveis de pequenas dimensões e da área de intervenção , o desenho da interface para aplicações que se destinam aos mesmos deve ser cautelosa, focando a facilidade de utilização e percepção das funções disponíveis nas aplicações. De forma a validar as interfaces e aplicações desenvolvidas, foram feitos testes numa disciplina do curso com o intuito de retirar conclusões sobre a usabilidade das mesmas. Seguindo o projecto SCOPE, o projecto JoinTS pretende estender oc conceitos abordados na terapia individual à sua vertente de grupo. A utilização de dispositivos móveis e ecrãs de grande dimensão não foi abordada pelo groupware existente, devido às necessidades especiais relacionadas com a área de estudo. Pretende-se, com as ferramentas identificadas e suas configurações, dar suporte às tarefas dos pacientes e terapeutas tanto fora como durante as sessões.

RFID has been successfully applied in access control, inventory control, supply chain management, etc. However, designing new and innovative applications of RFID is important to enlarge the RFID market, and it is an important challenge for both the academic and the industry. In this thesis, we design two innovative applications of RFID: one is GEN2-based smart bulletin and the other is Mifare-based anonymous authentication scheme. Bulletin board is an effective mechanism to broadcasting information like house renting advertisement, speech & activities information, important notice announcement, etc. Conventionally we have bulletin boards in public space like train stations, schools or apartments. But a bad-maintained bulletin board would be disordered and not easy to access. Additionally, even though a bulletin board is well maintained, people still need to write down the information when they are interested in some posters on bulletin boards. These factors make conventional become less and less popular. Based on low-cost Gen2 tags, we design a smart bulletin system: an RFID reader periodically scans the GEN2-tagged posters on the bulletin board, reads the URLs stored in tags, download and maintain the related information in distributed information servers so that (1) the bulletin board maintenance task can be easier and automatic, (2) users can efficiently browse the aggregated information scanned from several distributed bulletin boards, and (3) users preferred information would automatically pop up on the screen of their PDAs when they pass by these bulletin boards. An efficient anonymous authentication mechanism is critical to those applications like e-voting, e-shopping, and access control for special services. Instead of designing rigid but not-ease-to-use cryptographic scheme, we, based on Mifare tags and fingerprint scanner, design an efficient and practical anonymous authentication mechanism. The advantages of this scheme include (1) there is no user-related data on the server, (2) computation is simple and efficient, and (3) the architecture is simple.

Full textAbstract:
Packaging is an important element responsible for brand growth and one of the main rea-sons for producers to gain competitive advantages through technological innovation. In this re-gard, the aim of this work is to design a fully autonomous electronic system for a smart bottle packaging, being integrated in a European project named ROLL-OUT. The desired application for the smart bottle is to act as a fill-level sensor system in order to determine the liquid content level that exists inside an opaque bottle, so the consumer can exactly know the remaining quantity of the product inside.
An in-house amorphous indium–gallium–zinc oxide thin-film transistor (a-IGZO TFT) model, previously developed, was used for circuit designing purposes. This model was based in an artificial neural network (ANN) equivalent circuit approach.
Taking into account that only n-type oxide TFTs were used, plenty of electronic building-blocks have been designed: clock generator, non-overlapping phase generator, a capacitance-to-voltage converter and a comparator. As it was demonstrated by electrical simulations, it has been achieved good functionality for each block, having a final system with a power dissipation of 2.3 mW (VDD=10 V) not considering the clock generator. Four printed circuit boards (PCBs) have been also designed in order to help in the testing phase.
Mask layouts were already designed and are currently in fabrication, foreseeing a suc-cessful circuit fabrication, and a major step towards the design and integration of complex trans-ducer systems using oxide TFTs technology.

Population ageing is becoming increasingly serious problem worldwide, as well as in Taiwan. According to latest statistical data March 2018, from Taiwan Ministry of the Interior, the proportion of people 65 years or older reaches 14.05 %, is regarded as an “aged society”, it means there is 1 elderly of 7 population in Taiwan. It also indicates that more and more people need mediacl cares in near future, and the shortage of healthcare provider will be worse. According to the data from The Taiwan Healthcare Reform Foundation (THRF) in 2013, an average of 1 nurse in Taiwan needs to take care of 13 patients, which is nearly 2 times that of Japan and nearly 3 times that of Australia. To resolve the problem, using and developing IoT to improve the work efficincy of medical staff is urgent priority. This thesis studies the utilization of Intelligent Electonic White Board (IEWD), explore nurses work process and refining expectations by qualitative research method by interview 1 supervisor, 3 head nurses, 5 nurses, and 7 practice nurses from 4 hospitals. The present study has sorted out and analyized the collected data, trying to identify the design gap of Intelligent Electonic White Board by medical staffs’ practical experience, along with discovering a roadmap of an smart hospital in future.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has been used widely across the globe for the purpose of improving the quality of both basic and higher education. Lately, different kinds of technologies, such as smart boards, have been incorporated into the teaching and learning process with the aim to contribute to the effectiveness of teaching and learning outcomes. The main aim of this study was to investigate the integration of smart boards by secondary school teachers in the Tshwane West district (Gauteng province) in their business studies teachings. The study focused on the teachers’ perspectives, the challenges they experienced, and the support they required for the integration of smart boards in the classroom.
The study used a qualitative research approach to gather and analyse data. Using a multiple case study design, 5 business studies teachers were purposive sampled based on their experience on the use of smart boards. Both semi-structured interviews and non-participant observations were used to collect evidence. Technological and Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) was used as a framework by which to understand the study.
The four pillars of trustworthiness (credibility, transferability, confirmability, and dependability) were applied to ensure trustworthiness of the study results. The ethics guidelines (voluntarily participation, anonymity, confidentiality, and informed consent) were also taken into consideration and applied.
The main research question for this study was: How do secondary school teachers integrate smart boards in teaching business studies in the Tshwane West district? The findings suggested that business studies teachers have positive perspectives on the integration of smart boards with the belief that smart boards make their teaching easier and allow them to incorporate a variety of audio and visual material into a lesson.
The findings also revealed that teachers face various challenges, such as smart board malfunctioning, computer viruses, and limited time given for the integration of smart boards in the classroom. From the findings, it was clear that teachers had received professional development training on smart board integration, but that the training was inadequate. Despite the challenges that business studies teachers face during the integration of smart boards, the findings of this study indicated that teachers still had an interest in and were willing to integrate smart boards into the classroom.
The study recommended that teachers should be provided with sufficient professional development on the integration of smart boards in a business studies classroom, which would improve the level of competency of teachers on smart board integration in the teaching and learning process.Curriculum and Instructional Studies

This thesis uses S&M sized Printed Circuited Board manufacturer, C Corporation, as an example and discusses the current smart manufacturing situation in the company. An interview was conducted with an Industry 4.0 project leader. According to the interview, C corporation is having a serious labor shortage issue which is the driving force for them to head toward smart manufacturing. However, C Corporation currently only has a few stations with data analysis capability and robotic arms. In lamination station, they have 2 robotic arms to help flatten the board. Although smart manufacturing is around the corner, management team doesn’t consider smart manufacturing as a top priority because it requires a large amount of capital and time investment. Besides, it takes years for the implementation of smart manufacturing to pay off. It is discovered that C Corporation doesn’t have a detailed plan on the implementation of smart manufacturing as it requires a large amount of capital, trial out and constant communication with suppliers and workers. Therefore, it is suggested that C Corporation organizes a smart manufacturing project team led by one of the top management. Factory managers will be the main project leader. Each function team such as sales, purchasing, manufacturing, R&D and production needs to assign one manager to the board. Project leader needs to collect the needs from each department. Based on C Corporation’s existing competitiveness and Cost & Benefit Analysis, project leader can start to formulate a detailed implementation plan and execute it. It is discovered that jumping into smart manufacturing is unnecessary for S&M sized PCB manufacturers like C Corporation. They should start with the most serious problems they are facing now by finding the right solutions and resources that fit their needs.

Title of thesis is: ,,Vanished cultural landscape of the Czech border - an interactive learning guide for the 2nd grade school". Graduation thesis consists of an analysis of literature (textbooks geography, citizenship and education history, professional, nonfiction literature, didactic literature and multimedia documents). The practical part has a form of an interactive learning guide. Most of the work is devoted to the issue of the Sudetenland which to the largest extent represents the vanished cultural landscape of the Czech border. Sudetenland are evaluated from several different perspectives. An integral part of a thorough and detailed geographic mapping will clarify the historical circumstances but also the consequences that come with intricate development of the Czech border to bring ,,our" society today. The main section has its own interactive learning guide for students of upper primary school. In our case it will serve as the superstructure teaching material and therefore it can be used for grammar schools as well.
