Healthcare professionals, industry, and academics have all recently expressed a strong interest towards WiFi sensing. These techniques could be used to identify critical occurrences that sensitive persons may suffer, such as falls, sleep abnor-malities, wandering behavior, respiratory illnesses, and irregular heart activity. In this paper, we propose a low-cost, non-intrusive method to remotely monitor el-derly people without deploying devices on their bodies in a given space, using channel state information (CSI) from passive WiFi detection. Specifically, we monitored variables such as sitting and standing activity, and experimental valida-tion in practical situations with variable occupants, various environmental set-tings, and interference from other WiFi devices demonstrates robustness and scalability. Our results suggest that the proposed method can be put into practical-real use to detect activity and alert emergency personnel immediately, providing rapid medical assistance, saving lives, minimizing damage, and reducing anxiety for elderly people residing alone.

Poultry farms have played a significant role throughout human history, in feeding the growing population. A good environment is a perfect condition for the growth of poultry, preventing disease, and effective production. The temperature higher and the humidity favor the growth of bacteria and hence the production of ammonia (NH3) by the decomposition of organic matter. Ammonia (NH3), carbon monoxide (CO), and carbon dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are poisonous gases that can cause poultry diseases and mortality. The combination of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and Edge Computing offer efficient and intelligent stand-alone systems of monitoring in real-time, predicting, and advanced automation. The paper aims to monitor in real-time and predict poultry barns' environmental conditions using an artificial intelligence algorithm. An intelligent system called Poultry-Edge-AI-IoT has been developed to gather, hash, store, pretreat, filter, knowledge extract, and transmit information from a heterogeneous wireless sensor network. The Poultry-Edge-AI-IoT system is based on IoT, AI, and Edge Computing for the detection of potential stress, the harmful gas concentration, and the prediction of poultry barns' environmental conditions. The system is modular and upgradeable.

This study discusses the analysis of various variables affecting vocational students' intention to use a Virtual Laboratory (VL) in remote learning. Based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), perceived ease of use (PEU), and perceived usefulness (PU) as exogenous variables. At the same time, attitudes towards VL (A) as an intervening variable. This research was conducted in the learning process of the Power Electronics Practicum for vocational education students. This study involved 105 vocational students from the Industrial Electrical Engineering Study Program, at Universitas Negeri Padang. Research data were analyzed using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The study results showed that the exogenous variables (PEU, PU, & A) had a significant and positive effect (directly and indirectly through intervening variables) on vocational students' intentions to use the virtual laboratory to support the implementation of remote learning in the Power Electronics Practicum Course. These factors can be considered in determining the appropriate virtual laboratory application to be applied in the learning process.

Usability is one of the most important characteristics of software applications, especially when it comes to mobile shopping applications. There is a great deal of shift from traditional shopping to online shopping because it benefits both parties i.e., customers as well as businessmen. In such a scenario, the usability factor can play a very vital role in the business industry. If a client stops using a mobile shopping app because it is not user-friendly, it can badly damage the annual revenues especially when hundreds of alternatives are available and there is tough competition. Therefore, to keep existing customers intact and to attract new customers, it is very important to provide a user-friendly mobile app to customers. In this paper, we consider a large variety of online customers with diverse requirements. background and constraints and evaluate the usability of existing mobile e-commerce apps to identify the actual problems people are facing with existing applications and do a systematic review of existing shopping apps. Then, we propose a personalized and adaptive usability model for mobile commerce apps considering the neglected user type i.e., illiterates and people with tactile disabilities. The proposed model LRAP is a layered approach from generalization to specification and it can be considered an extension of the famous PACMAD usability model. Besides this, we also suggest a combining score tool which will be helpful in measuring the usability of any app.

This study attempts to develop a reliable, practical, and efficient process for developing online and distance courses. The study aims to develop e-learning online and distance education courses. ICT and e-Research course development processes have shown significant learning opportunities and outcomes. A substitute for raising these opportunities is the need for innovative research in education while implementing online and distance modes of learning and teaching. Subscribing research and development research methodology, the study aims to produce e-learning instructional materials using a three-stage development model. The course, along with the learning strategy, the learning tools, the assessment tools, and other components, are designed and developed using the Plomp model, a development research model. The research participants were forty-two 2021 Winter Batch MPhil in Educational Studies students and nine lecturers at Nepal Open University (NOU), Nepal. The descriptive analysis uses data analysis to explain the online course's validity, applicability, and effectiveness. Experimental research design was developed using the one-group pre-test post-test design methodology. The most important results are results of preliminary analysis, validity: average material validation is 0.885; average media validation is 0.885 and practicality: more than 71% (very practical). This article proposes a more comprehensive framework to design, develop, and implement online and distance courses in e-learning systems in higher education.

Learning resources are very important to all the stakeholders in the world of education. There is a very large number of learning resources today and they are scattered all over the internet. This study was about the development of a new smart learning resource management system called STOU SmartLearnX, which can locate and pull up digital content from the internet and social media. It has integrated technology to support independent learning via digital media. The system passed quality control evaluation by a panel of 15 experts before being tested on bachelor’s degree students enrolled in an online course emphasizing nanolearning style offered by an open university in Thailand. The 65 sample students testing the system came from Humanities and social science, Science and technology and Health science. They were given a pretest before using STOU SmartLearnX in the course and a posttest after using it, and their mean scores were compared using t-test dependent and one-way ANOVA. Mean posttest scores were higher than pretest scores to a statistically significant degree, but there was no significant difference in posttest scores between the students from the group, indicating that the system can be successfully used for learning in different subject areas. In the future the system may be further developed to make it able to deliver more precise results by utilizing advanced searches and images. Searches should take into account the context and should be responsive.

In this study, convolutional neural networks (CNN) and particle swarm optimization are used to offer a channel estimate technique for low power reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) assisted wireless communications (PSO). The suggested approach makes use of the RIS channels' sparsity to lower the CNN model's training complexity and uses PSO to optimize the CNN model's hyperparameters. The proposed system has been trained using 70% of dataset, 25% of data was used for testing and remaining 5% was used for cross-validation. In comparison to previous methods, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method delivers correct channel estimate with much less computing cost. The suggested technique also exceeds current techniques in terms of bit error rate (BER) and mean squared error (MSE) performance. The research found 96.47% and 90.96% of accuracy for CNN and PSO algorithm respectively. Moverover, the network was trained using a dataset mentioned in methodology section for channel realizations, and achieved a mean squared error (MSE) value of 0.012 using CNN algorithm.

Aquaponics is a farming practice that combines the benefits of hydroponics and aquaculture. An Internet of Things (IoT) aquaponics system is used to help collect vast amounts of ecological and agricultural data. An aquaponics system, including a fish tank and planting area, has been completed and set up as an experimental field. The main objectives of this project are to develop and design a monitoring system for aquaponics that can be utilised in many aspects. This project utilises Arduino, Wi-Fi shield and Android applications for monitoring purposes. A pH sensor, temperature and servo motor are used to retrieve and store the data on the Favoriot platform. The result obtained from the sensors was degree temperature, soil moisture, pH, and automatic fish feeder. The system acquires an average performance of 92.5%, considering the data receive and system functionality.

An Internet of Things (IoT) aquaponics system is used to help collect vast amounts of ecological and agricultural data. An aquaponics system, including a fish tank and planting area, has been completed and set up as an experimental field. The main objectives of this project are to develop and design a monitoring system for aquaponics that can be utilised in many aspects. This project utilises Arduino, Wi-Fi shield and Android applications for monitoring purposes. A pH sensor, temperature and servo motor are used to retrieve and store the data on the Favoriot platform. The result obtained from the sensors was degree temperature, soil moisture, pH, and automatic fish feeder. The system acquires an average performance of 92.5%, considering the data receive and system functionality.
