Enhancing Children’s Outdoor Learning Experiences with a Mobile Application

2015

This paper examines how a mobile learning application can enhance children’s outdoor learning experiences. The study draws upon empirical evidence gathered in one case study conducted in a Finnish primary school setting in the fall of 2012. The data were collected with student and teacher surveys. The case study indicated that the mobile application provided children with tangible, motivating, and educative experiences. The mobile application also clearly encouraged social interaction. In addition, the case study highlighted the significance of pedagogy. Thus the appropriate way to utilize mobile applications in an educational context requires a balance in which the technology use is comple…

Robomaths: Robotics to Learn Matematics in a Architecture Degree

2020

The abstract part of mathematics is a difficult matter included in many subjects in university degrees. Specifically, in architecture degrees students lack interest in this topic if they don’t experience its immediate application. In addition, technological skills are required at every educational level and the students of these degrees are usually more interested in art than in technology. With the aim of encouraging architecture students' interest in mathematics and technology, a methodology is presented here that includes the use of robotics in maths lectures. The key idea is to make the abstract part of mathematics understandable by means of robots.

Empowerment del responsabile del procedimento e cambiamento organizzativo nelle amministrazioni pubbliche

2007

EMPOWERMENT DEL RESPONSABILE DEL PROCEDIMENTO E CAMBIAMENTO ORGANIZZATIVO NELLE AMMINISTRAZIONI PUBBLICHE La legge 241/90 ha introdotto in Italia la figura del responsabile del procedimento conferendo a essa poteri di iniziativa, decisione ed esecuzione dell’azione amministrativa. Il legislatore ha così voluto perseguire finalità di decentramento decisionale e un più ampio coinvolgimento del prestatore di lavoro pubblico nell’esercizio dell’attività amministrativa. L’assetto normativo impone un modello di comportamento organizzativo diverso dal passato teso a valorizzare la persona, ad accrescere l’operatività dei gruppi e ad adeguare il sistema organizzativo ai nuovi bisogni delle amminist…

The use of mobile technology for online shopping and entertainment among older adults in Finland

2017

Older adults use mobile devices for online shopping as often as younger adults.Mobile-based entertainment use is most typical for younger male adults.Older female adults use mobile-based entertainment least frequently.Age, household structure and high education predict mobile-based online shopping.Mobile-based entertainment use is best predicted by age and gender. Older adults are becoming an important market segment for all internet-based services, but few studies to date have considered older adults as online shoppers and users of entertainment media. Utilising the concept of life course, this article investigates the use of mobile technologies for online shopping and entertainment among …

Efficient Power Allocation for Multi-Cell Uplink NOMA Network

2019

Digital technologies are rapidly shaping the modern concepts of urbanization. It is a key element of developing practical smart cities of the future. In fact, they are the catalyst for the increasing networking of all areas of life in a smart city. Recent development in the domain of communication technologies has opened new avenues to realize the concept of smart cities. One of such communication technology is non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) for future cellular communications. This article, therefore, focuses on the interference management of uplink cellular NOMA systems. Specifically, we propose a power optimization technique for NOMA to improve the sum-rate in a multi-cell environm…

Collaborative Mobile Clouds: An Energy Efficient Paradigm for Content Sharing

2018

On the way toward enabling efficient content distribution, reducing energy consumption and prolonging battery life of mobile equipment, an emerging paradigm, i.e., mobile cloud, which is based on content distribution, was proposed. As a mobile platform that is oriented toward content distribution, mobile cloud is also foreseen as an energy-efficient solution for future wireless networks. The benefits of using CMC for content distribution or distributed computing from social networking perspectives have been studied earlier. In this article, we first present the concepts of CMC and then discuss the energy-efficiency benefits from the system-level point-of-view as well as open challenges in d…

Energy harvesting for mobile agents supporting wireless sensor networks

2022

Abstract Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been deployed widely in many different application including in civil and military fields. The sensing data from the networks is very diverse and may cost huge energy consumption for transmission. Hence, mobile sensors with high capacity are deployed to support the static sensors dealing with longer range communicating distances and also supplying power wirelessly the sensors if possible. This paper focuses on an energy harvesting (EH) design for either mobile agents or sensor nodes in WSNs. A hybrid EH system can harvest energy from ambient environment around to power the mobile sensors and static sensors. In addition, these mobile sensors and …
