Research into cyberbullying detection has increased in recent years, due part to the proliferation of across social media and its detrimental effect on young people. A growing body work is emerging automated approaches detection. These utilise machine learning natural language processing techniques identify characteristics a exchange automatically detect by matching textual data identified traits. In this paper, we present systematic review published research (as via Scopus, ACM IEEE Xplore...
Mobile and wearable computers present input/output problems due to limited screen space interaction techniques.When mobile, users typically focus their visual attention on navigating environment -making visually demanding interface designs hard operate.This paper presents two multimodal techniques designed overcome these allow truly 'eyes-free' device use.The first is a 3D audio radial pie menu that uses head gestures for selecting items.An evaluation of range different showed egocentric...
There is limited evidence on the optimal strategy for liberating infants and children from invasive mechanical ventilation in pediatric intensive care unit.To determine if a sedation ventilator liberation protocol intervention reduces duration of anticipated to require prolonged ventilation.A pragmatic multicenter, stepped-wedge, cluster randomized clinical trial was conducted that included 17 hospital sites (18 units) UK sequentially usual intervention. From February 2018 October 2019, 8843...
Trust is a critical component of successful e-Commerce. Given the impersonality, anonymity, and automation transactions, online vendor trustworthiness cannot be assessed by means body language other environmental cues that consumers typically use when deciding to trust offline retailers. It therefore essential design e-Commerce websites compensate incorporating circumstantial in form appropriate triggers. This paper presents discusses results study which took an initial look at whether with...
Data quality is a difficult notion to define precisely, and different communities have views understandings of the subject. This causes confusion, lack harmonization data across omission vital information. For some existing infrastructures, standards cannot address problem adequately fulfil all user needs or cover concepts quality. In this study, we discuss philosophical issues on We identify actual quality, review specifications propose an integrated model for in field Earth observation...
Ongoing advances in mobile technologies have the potential to improve independence and quality of life older adults by supporting delivery personalised ubiquitous healthcare solutions. The authors are actively engaged participatory, user-focused research create a assistive healthcare-related intervention for persons with age-related macular degeneration (AMD): report here on our participatory which design (PD) has been positively adopted adapted technology. discuss their work as case study...
Ongoing advances in technology are increasing the scope for enhancing and supporting older adults' daily living. The digital divide between younger adults raises concerns, however, about suitability of technological solutions adults, especially those with impairments. Taking Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) as a case study, we used user-centred participatory design approaches to develop an assistive mobile app self-monitoring their intake food [12,13]. In this paper report on findings...
In the UK, 20% of people aged 75 years and over are living with sight loss age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is most common cause in impacting nearly 10% those 80; regrettably, these figures expected to increase coming decades as population ages (RNIB, 2012). This paper reports on authors' design activities conducted for purpose informing development an assistive self-monitoring, ability-reactive technology (SMART) older adults AMD. The authors reflect their experience adopting adapting...
Speech recognition technology is regarded as a key enabler for increasing the usability of applications deployed on mobile devices -- which are becoming increasingly prevalent in modern hospital-based healthcare. Although use speech not new to healthcare domain, its with has thus far been limited. This paper presents results literature review we conducted order observe manner used and gain an understanding how this being evaluated, terms dependability reliability, settings. Our intent that...
Basic literacy skills are fundamental building blocks of education, yet for a very large number adults tasks such as understanding and using everyday items is challenge. While research, industry, policy-making looking at improving access to textual information low-literacy adults, the literacy-based demands today's society continually increasing. Although many community-based organizations offer resources support with limited skills, current programs have difficulties reaching retaining...
The ageing process can interfere considerably with the use of mobile devices, e.g. due to changes in vision, attention, and motor control. Designing technology older adults poses its own challenges. In absence a complete methodology for working users, researchers designers are often left improvise their methods. This result co-design relationships being compromised weak design insights emerging. How we best adapt or modify existing methods this group?
Many countries have an increasingly aging population. In recent years, mobile technologies had a massive impact on social and working lives. As the size of older user population rises, many people will want to continue professional, lifestyle usage mobiles into 70s beyond. Mobile can lead increased community involvement personal independence. While provide opportunities, process interfere with their use. This workshop brings together researchers who are re-imagining common interfaces so that...
Trust is a critical component of business to consumer (B2C) e-Commerce success. In the absence typical environmental cues that consumers use assess vendor trustworthiness in offline retail context, online often rely on trust triggers embedded within websites contribute establishment sufficient make an purchase.

For a very large number of adults, tasks such as reading. understanding, and using everyday items are challenge. Although many community-based organizations offer resources support for adults with limited literacy skills. current programs have difficulty reaching retaining those that would benefit most. In this paper we present the findings an exploratory study aimed at investigating how technological solution addresses these challenges is received adopted by adult learners. this, developed...
