Communication and Information Technologies

This research explores the experiences of deaf and hard of hearing (D/HH) students in Greek postsecondary education, focusing on their attitudes, perceptions, and practices regarding the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and Assistive Technologies (ATs) for educational inclusion and learning support. Using a qualitative approach, the research conducted 19 individual interviews and 2 focus groups with a total of 26 D/HH students. The findings reveal predominantly negative attitudes towards the current technological infrastructure and policies in postsecondary education, with students often resorting to self-help practices and advocacy to overcome barriers. While ICTs and ATs such as smart devices, captioning applications, and distance learning platforms were recognized as beneficial, participants highlighted significant challenges, including technical issues, lack of Greek language support in many applications, and insufficient understanding of D/HH needs by educators. The study concludes that there is a pressing need for enhanced accessibility, the integration of technological solutions, and the improved preparedness of educational institutions to enrich the educational experience of D/HH students in Greek postsecondary education. Although the institutional adoption of technology is crucial, it alone is insufficient to fully achieve inclusion.

Mastering digital technologies has become a necessary skill in the academic, workplace and social spheres. Being disconnected-not using technological communication devices or not having control over them-leads to situations of inequality of opportunities and social invisibility. The following text includes the theoretical framework formulated by Bourdieu and from there, it proposes the category of ICT Capital as an advance towards understanding issues related to digital access and its transforming social relationship. The most significant findings show how current individuals subordinate their cultural capital, forms of interaction, languages, consumption of cultural goods, symbolic and statutory legitimacy to the technological experience of the digital world.

Si bien la Tecnología de Información influye positivamente en las organizaciones cambiando, acelerando y facilitando la forma de hacer las cosas. En algún momento, también nos ayudó para diferenciarnos de los demás, creando una Ventaja Competitiva avalada en la reducción de costos y tiempos, e incrementando la calidad. Eso nos hizo diferenciarnos de los demás.

Land in Medan City is increasing limited. This is because the need for residential houses is increasing every year so that more housing is built. Building a housing requires a large area of land in a strategic location, but due to increasing limited land conditions, a solution is needed in designing a residential house on limited land. Along with the development of the times, there are residential design solutions to the various limitations that exist on the land, namely Tropical House. Tropical House is a simplified house, from design to function space. Tropical House housing will be designed in Medan with a tropical climate so that the housing is designed by combining the principles of a compact house and the principles of tropical buildings. Compact houses and tropical buildings share the same principles and there are also opposing principles. Tropical buildings have the principle of having a high roof, but the principle in a compact house is that no space is wasted and space requirements are met even on limited land. Therefore, the efficient concept is applied to a multifunctional spatial arrangement, one of which is by placing space between floors (mezzanine). The mezzanine functions as a vertical addition of space and the room on the 1st floor that does not have a mezzanine also has high ceilings so that it can handle heat and air circulation can also flow properly. the efficient concept is applied to a multifunctional spatial arrangement, one of which is by placing space between floors (mezzanine).

They will then collect the data collected and organize them collectively in the classroom. Considering all this, they will reflect on the historical and cultural contexts of the intense ...

The Department of Communication and Information of the Government of North Sumatra has the main task of preparing materials for the formulation of technical policies within the scope of Communication and Information Technology, organizing development, public relations leadership, institutional relations, and Communication and Information Technology services; conduct assessments and evaluations of the implementation of Communication and Information Technology. This operation will "make it easier" for the Government in carrying out its function as a protector, regulator, and driver of community progress. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the policy of the Department of Communication and Information Technology of North Sumatra in the Information Center Program. The sample was taken by purposive sampling as many as 27 people as implementers in the implementation of the Information Center. Data analysis was carried out descriptively with a single table. The results showed that the implementation of the Public Information Center Policy at the Ministry of Communication and Informatics of North Sumatra Province seen from the input, process, output, and output of the Public Information Center policy, in general, has been going well, but when viewed from each policy variable, there are differences in the successful implementation of the Public Information Center. Judging from the input, namely the resources used in the implementation of the Public Information Center (HR, technology, finance, facilities, and infrastructure) as the spearhead in the administrative process and the implementing organization is not adequate. Judging from the process, there is still a lack of coordination and communication between actors, namely communication, especially between relevant agencies as implementers and users, both district/city government agencies, entrepreneurs, and the community. Judging from the output, namely the output produced directly from the policy process of the Public Information Center, it is only in the form of information services that are: published, cannot be interactive and transactional. Judging from the Outcomes, the results are expected to have provided benefits, especially in facilitating and presenting the materials obtained from the News Room Division, Audio Visual Division, On-line Media Division, and Print Media Division to the

A crucial aspect concerning the intelligent transport systems is data transmission between vehicle and central control and information systems. Transportation needs a reliable system of data transfer based on GSM or WiFi networks. However, these networks employ a wide range of different frequencies which can be harmful to the health of drivers. The detrimental effect of electromagnetic radiation can negatively affect the process of transportation. This study determines the intensity of electric field levels (E) of the radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF EMF) during the data transmission through the 3G, 4G and local WiFi networks, comparing them with the limit values. Conclusions: Our results showed a significantly higher level of the E-field intensity during 4G transmission in all places. The limit values were not exceeded. The lowest E-field values were found in local WiFi network.

The impact of electromagnetic waves, and consequently of wireless and mobile transmissions, on human health represented an open debate for many years. That is why, for example, demonstrations take place regularly against the installation of new transmission antennas in urban areas. In this paper, we propose a service aiming at limiting the exposure level of individuals to electromagnetic radiation in some areas. This could be achieved thanks to a dynamic adaptation of transmission parameters (frequency, power, etc.), for example. The proposed service defines some components implementing the intelligence required to compute the exposure level of a person and to carry out the adapted actions. It also relies on a signalling protocol that integrates an "Electromagnetic Wave Exposure" component which groups the parameters required to manage the exposure level of sensitive persons. To our knowledge, there is no solution providing a similar service to reduce the exposure level of sensitive persons to electromagnetic radiation. Moreover, by controlling the electromagnetic radiation exposure level of individuals, our proposal may lead to the limitation of electromagnetic waves. This will also help to meet the energy-saving constraints that future networks, particularly 5G, should be able to meet.

Wireless technologies play an enormously important role in extending access to voice and data communications by hitherto excluded groups in society, especially in the world's most populated region and now the largest mobile market, the Asia-Pacific. The present rates of growth and levels of connectivity could not have been achieved without wireless in the access networks, for mobile as well as for fixed, and in the backbone networks. But the solution is not simply wireless, it is wireless combined with new investment; it is wireless combined with other inputs and systems. Ability to participate in the supply of services to meet pent up demand in the form of removing barriers to entering hitherto monopolized markets is an essential condition for applying wireless technologies to extend connectivity. Although more than half the Asian countries now allow some form of market entry in basic services (higher in mobile, etc.), even where entry is allowed the conditions are not optimal ...

Based on a growing body of recent historical work, this article compares the audiences of two media: the letter and the Internet. Researchers of the digital world have claimed that the net is characterized by a blurring of borders between the one-to-one dialogue (long idealized by literary research), and the one-to-many dissemination (best exemplified by broadcasting). However, the ancient medium of the letter too had long blurred boundaries, from local leaks to full-fledged publications of collections of letters. The article first discusses various types of epistolary disseminations, mainly voluntary ones (for glory, for political aims, for managing communities and for family and community relationships), but also involuntarily disseminations for private or political surveillance. It concludes that in the longue durée of media history, the Internet exemplifies historical trends which started before the digital world: the demand for absolute privacy, and the risk of total political surveillance.

1. List and describe the six reasons information systems are so important for business today. Ans: 1) Operational Excellence-businesses can constantly improve their efficiency of their operations in order to achieve higher profitability. With the help of information system companies can stock their inventory in correct number so consumers can always have wanted they want. 2) New product services and business models-A major role is played in creating new products and Services by Information system. Along with all that New business models are created, with it how to sell those new product and services also created. 3) Customer and Supplier intimacy-the better services a company provides its consumers with more likely they are too come back to them and as result the more they will buy off the supplier therefore creating a good relationship with both parties. 4) Improved decision making-Real time Data is being used by the manager for making a decision to thus makes best decisions and time wastage is reduced. Information systems make it possibly for managers to use real time data when making a decision to therefore make better decisions and not have to waste time looking for information. 5) Competitive advantage-if companies achieve any of these 6 reasons to use I.S they will generally create a competitive advantage over their rivals. 6) Day to Day survival-business invest in these systems to make their jobs as easy as possible. an example is Citibank introduced the first ATM machine to make it easier for customers to access their money and to cut down queues in their banks. 2. List and describe the organizational, people, and technology dimensions of information systems. Ans: 1) Organization Dimension: The organization dimension of information systems involves issues such as the organization's hierarchy, functional specialties, business processes, culture, people and political interest groups. 2) Management Dimension: The management dimension of information systems involves setting organizational strategies, allocating human and financial resources, creating new products and services and recreating the organization if necessary. 3) Technology Dimension: The technology dimension consists of computer hardware, software, data management technology, and networking/telecommunications technology. 3. Distinguish between data and information and between information systems literacy and computer literacy.

Information technologies, particularly the personal computer and the World Wide Web, are changing the ways that scientists communicate. The traditional print-based system that relies on the refereed scientific journal as the key delivery mechanism for research findings is undergoing a transformation to a system

Job creation is a current issue that is a concern of all nations worldwide. The publication in the Washington Post May 15, 2017, elaborates how ACE Metal Crafts applied the Toyota Production System (TPS) to meet the customer demands and create more job opportunities. The article presents a threat that CEO Jean Pitzo experienced when the largest customer of the firm demanded a quicker delivery, twice as fast. Jean applied the TPS and engaged in sharing their know-how with partners, and through this, the company managed to shorten the lead times. They managed to increase their orders, gained more customers and met their demands, and employed more people. Therefore, it can be seen that by application of the TPS the company managed to solve the problem of making delivery in time and even created more jobs. This paper explores how the article relates to the Total Quality Management (TQM) principles.

The global telecommunications sector is in the midst of a transformation caused by privatization, liberalization and technological change. These trends have dramatically changed the way the sector functions. The number of service providers has increased substantially, as has the range of services they offer. Old business models and commercial arrangements are being abandoned or bypassed while new ones emerge. An era characterized by regional telephone monopolies that provided "plain old telephone service" is yielding to an era characterized by multiple providers of information and communications technology (ICT) services using Internet protocol (IP), wireless and broadband technologies.

Приходится признать, что к началу третьего тысячелетия вопрос социального самоопределения детей-сирот так и не получил адекватного и однозначного решения. Причем значимость его – как для судеб детей, так и для построения стратегии деятельности детских домов – отнюдь не утратилась, а в ряде случаев – так и неизмеримо возросла. Представления о жизни в обществе за порогом детского дома у подавляющего большинства воспитанников и даже выпускников детских домов, увы, весьма туманны. Что на практике означает – выпускник попадает буквально никуда. Он никаких общественных предпочтений за годы жизни в детском доме так в себе и не выработал. И даже в тех редких случаях, когда на помощь ему могла прийти социально-педагогическая и психологическая служба детского дома, принципиально на положении дела это так и не сказалось. Что служит причиной этого поистине катастрофического положения?

О роли информационных технологий в социальной адаптации детей-сирот сказано и написано немало. Тем не менее, многие сиротские учреждения с большой осторожностью относятся к самой возможности включения новых технологий в образовательный процесс. С чем  это связано? Первое, что, как правило, останавливает администрацию детского дома перед введением информационных технологий в своих учреждениях, это необходимость иметь дело с компьютерной техникой. Она и дорогостоящая, и беречь ее нужно как зеницу ока, и обслуживать очень хлопотно. Самый же главный камень преткновения – это вред физическому и психологическому здоровью воспитанников и педагогов, который наносится компьютерной техникой. Безусловно, такие предположения отнюдь не лишены оснований. В первую очередь, виной тому – остаточный принцип, согласно которому техника если вообще и попадает в детский дом, то устаревшая, списанная.

Каждый администратор, хозяйственник наверняка сталкивался с финансовыми и организационными трудностями на пути укрепления материально-технической базы учреждения. Не обошли они и первый воронежский интернат. Однако администрация этого учреждения ведет продолжительную и многоплановую работу с управлением образования, шефами и благотворителями. В каждом отдельно взятом случае убеждает своих потенциальных благодетелей в необходимости новых приобретений. В том,  например, что принтеры, сканеры и компьютеры нужны не для показа очередной комиссии, а для полезной и одновременно увлекательной работы. В чем же эта работа заключалась на первом году эксперимента?

Abstracts. With the huge interest of the scientific society in life and activity of prominent historical figures and Slavic educators (Constantine and Methodius) little attention is spared in studies that reveal the driving force that imperatively urged devotees to the loyalty of idea, to the activity, to severe and debilitating labor in the Slavic self-fulfillment, creation conditions for the formation of the Slavic Christian civilization. We believe that the ultimate goal of Constantine and Methodius was the establishment of Christian religious rite with the liturgy in Slavic language. The article sub-stantiates the expediency of concentration in the study of heritage of Constantine and Methodius on created by them new religious rite - Slavic. Creation of this rite is the original plan and the main purpose of their activities in Moravia. Also are briefly described four basic components of new quality: Slavic literary texts, elements of Greek liturgy and ritual, elements of the Latin liturgy and rites, German religious and ecclesiastical terminology.
Key words: Slavic rite (Slavic Orthodoxy), the Vatican, Constantinople, Moravia, Franks, liturgy, Thessaloniki brothers.

The study is aimed at analyzing the internet use and its impact among the students of regional campus library. Also examines the utilization, purpose, difficulties and satisfaction level of users about internet based information. It is found that low speed internet access and overload of information on the internet are the major problems while searching internet. Further the study suggests the need to provide training on the use of internet so that the students use the appropriate search tools and techniques to obtain required information. Internet materials are very useful for the users because they play an important role as they are supporting the facts given in the articles. If they are not preserved properly it creates problem to users.
