The current era of information technologies opens new challenges brings new approaches concerning the use of computer supported Learning Management Systems (LMS). Nowadays, the majority of higher education institutions utilize information systems for handling administrative data, while some of them have successfully introduced one or more LMSes. On the other hand, the majority of LMSes rely on an...
Computerization of society and electronic government are current problems of society and its development is the part of all governments' program declarations in the European Union. Despite of the well-built internet infrastructure, Slovakia is still tail ranking, when considering the level of development of electronic services and their use by the general public. The precondition for improving this...
The European Commission developed the Europe 2020 strategy for sustainable and inclusive growth and it was adopted by the European Council in June 2010. The EC agreed on five main objectives; one of them is to raise the employment rate of citizens 20 to 64 years old to 75 % by 2020. EU member states implemented these objectives into their national policies. In that way, the employment is at the heart...
After introducing e-assessment into laboratory and seminar teaching of physics in a biomedical university study program the improved final practical exam passing rate was observed. The final practical exam passing rate increased from approximately 60% to more than 80%. Encouraged by these results, in this paper we will try to show a correlation between the results of e-assessments collected during...
Modern teaching paradigms promote active student participation, encouraging teachers to adapt the teaching process to involve more practical work. In the introductory programming course at the Faculty of Computer and Information Science, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, homework assignments contribute approximately one half to the total grade, requiring a significant investment of time and human...
Computer engineering education has a strong dependence on laboratory work. Teaching students in the lab does not always consist of teaching the required course material, but also of a vast number of tutorials on different platforms. In many cases, these tutorials take significant amount of time which could be better spent doing actual course material. For that reason, E2LP project has developed a...
Present day computer ecosystem offers advanced connectivity of numerous devices, systems and services, providing the basis for the Internet of Things paradigm implementation. What most people perceive of its structure often lacks acknowledgement of the smallest parts of it, albeit as of recently the most used ones, namely smartphones and smartwatches. Being recognized as a prominent member of the...
Bacterial biofilms are highly complex structures. We are more and more recognizing that bacterial biofilms are predominant forms of the bacterial existence against the planktonic one. Under certain circumstances, bacteria starts to build biofilm and forms 3D structure, so called extracellular matrix. Hulled within this matrix, bacteria becomes more prone to host defense mechanisms and most antibiotics,...
Manual cell counting in microscopic images is usually tedious, time consuming and prone to human error. Several programs for automatic cell counting have been developed so far, but most of them demand some specific knowledge of image analysis and/or manual fine tuning of various parameters. Even if a set of filters is found and fine tuned to the specific application, small changes to the image attributes...
Over the last few years OneM2M global initiative has been working on creation of global specification and standards for M2M. In order to facilitate the development of future M2M applications, which will be consolidated with this M2M standard, this paper compares OneM2M standard with ETSI M2M standard, which was defined by European Telecommunications Standards Institute, and presents ETSI M2M and OneM2M...
Sleep apnea is a breathing disorder during sleep which is characterized by breathing cessation lasting at least 10 seconds. Sleep apnea is associated with sudden cardiac death. Every apnea event is accompanied by cardiovascular changes. In polysomnography, to perform cardiorespiratory sleep study in today's sleep laboratories, many parameters such as ECG (electrocardiogram), EEG (electroencephalogram),...
The sensitivity to electrode misplacement of the 12-lead ECG, synthesized from differential leads, was analyzed by simulating the electrode misplacement, with a help from interpolated body surface potential maps. The electrodes forming optimal differential leads were independently moved only on the lines defined by gradient vectors, calculated on the integral body surface potential map, obtained from...
Every day, children around the world are exposed to many online dangers. In this paper we try to give an overview and comparison of current EU and BiH regulatory measures and self-regulatory activities regarding the protection of children against child pornography and other forms of sexual abuse and exploitation through information and communication technologies.
In this paper describes an oceanographic measuring station as a part of automated system for oceanographic measurement with remote control and data visualization. Oceanographic measuring station consists of operator's computer and a number of different measuring devices that produce data continuously. Each device has its own software interface that allows user interaction with the data. Such interface...
Advances in the new mobile networks are steadily increasing the demand on network resources, and new standards must ensure that the networks are managed effectively in order to ensure that users of the network remain satisfied with their Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE). The simulations opportunities represent a chance to reduce the digital divide and to ensure the new 5G networks...
A comfortable option for long term monitoring of heart activity will hopefully soon be available in veterinary medicine also. This is the first report of the ECG data obtained in animals with a wireless body electrode attached to the skin and able to convey measured data to a smart device via low power Bluetooth technology. The ECG data were obtained from two dogs, one with sinus rhythm and the other...
Steganography and Digital Watermarking are concerned with embedding information in digital media such as images, audio signals and video. Both scientific disciplines develop methods for conceal message (a sequence of bits) by modifying the host (cover) digital object but their goals are slightly different.
Spatial data have proven to be extremely useful in many areas. Accordingly, there are more and more web GIS solutions. These solutions allow the visualization of spatial data to all Internet users. A large number of available online resource introduced the problem of efficient retrieval of relevant information. The aim of this paper is to describe the way in which web portals can be used to search...
The focal mechanism of an earthquake and fault plane solutions provide insight into the geology of an area. The objective of this paper is to give a means of better understanding fault movement when an earthquake occurs. In this paper we present an interactive 3D visualisation of possible fault plane solutions, which are usually represented as 2D “beach-ball” plots, with their respective block models...
