Networking smartphones for disaster recovery using teamphoneIJARIIT
In this paper, we examine how to use networks with smartphones for providing communications in disaster recovery.
By lessening the communication gap among different kinds of wireless networks, we have designed and implemented a system
called TeamPhone, which provides Android phones the capabilities on communications in disaster helper. TeamPhone
consists of two components: a messaging system between rescue worker and the victim and a self-rescue system. The
messaging system between rescue worker and victim integrates cellular networking, ad-hoc networking, and opportunistic
networking seamlessly, and enables proper communication. The self-rescue system finds different communication network
ways for trapped survivors. Such a group of Android phones can cooperatively get a notification and send out emergency
messages in an energy-efficient manner with their location and position information so as to help rescue operations. We have
implemented TeamPhone as a prototype application on the Android platform and deployed it on all types of smartphones from
Samsung to Redmi and others. Results demonstrate that TeamPhone can properly enhance communication requirements and
increase the pace of disaster recovery. We are creating three applications with a centralized cloud for communication. First for
the admin who will monitor victim and rescue worker on Google map and other two for rescue worker and disaster victim.

A STUDY ON LEA AND SEED ALGORITHMS FOR DATA PROTECTION OF SMARTPHONE BASED DI...IJNSA Journal
The number of disaster occurrences around the world based on the climate changes due to the global
warming has been indicating an increase. To prevent and cope with such disaster, a number of researches
have been actively conducted to combine the user location service as well as the sensor network
technology into the expanded IoT to detect the disaster at early stages. However, due to the appearance of
the new technologies, the scope of the security threat to the pre-existing system has been expanding. In this
thesis, the D-SASS using the beacon to provide the notification service to the disaster-involved area and
the safe service to the users is proposed. The LEA Algorithm is applied to the proposed system to design
the beacon protocol collected from the smartphone to safely receive the notification information. In
addition, for data protection of a notification system, LEA and SEED algorithms were applied, and a
comparative analysis was conducted.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Key to disaster management- effective communication
Application of communication facilities
Applications
-GIS and remote sensing
-Internet
-Amateur radio
-Satellite
Techniques of communication
Ways to ensure effective communication
3. Key to disaster management -
Effective Communication
The world is not a very safe place to live in these days as
disaster and terrorism can strike at any moment.
Communication is the only relief as times of disaster and
hence the need for a efficient disaster management system
becomes imperative in public places and even in business
establishments. Disaster might strike in the form of natural
calamities, terrorist's attacks and accidents. In times of natural
calamity like floods, storms or fire the usual mode of
communication like phone, mobile etc. might not work or
might be lost in the calamity.
4. Application of Communication Facilities
in Disaster Management
Though it is not possible to completely avoid the natural
disasters, but the sufferings can be minimized by creating proper
awareness of the likely disasters and its impact by developing a
suitable warning system, disaster preparedness and management
of disasters through application of information technology tools.
The changing trends have opened up a large number of scientific
and technological resources and skills to reduce disaster risk.
There are mainly applications we can use to manage disasters:
5. APPLICATIONS:
• GIS and Remote Sensing
• Internet
• Amateur Radio
• Satellite Based Communication System
6. GIS AND REMOTE SENSING
GIS provides a tool for effective and efficient storage and
manipulation of remotely sensed data and other spatial and non-
spatial data types for both scientific management and policy
oriented information. This can be used to facilitate measurement,
mapping, monitoring and modeling of variety of data types
related to natural phenomenon. The specific GIS application in
the field of Risk Assessment are:- Hazard Mapping to show
earthquake, landslides, floods or fire hazards.
7. Remote sensing makes observation of any object from
a distance and without coming into actual contact.
Remote sensing can gather data much faster than
ground based observation, can cover large area at one
time to give a synoptic view.
8. INTERNET:
In the present era of electronic communication, the internet
provides a useful platform for disaster mitigation
communications. Launching of a well defined web site is a very
cost effective means of making an intra-national and
international presence felt. It provides a new and potentially
revolutionary option for the rapid, automatic, and global
dissemination of disaster information
9. AMATEUR RADIO(HAM RADIO)
In the event of major disasters/emergencies, it has been
experienced that Amateur Radios have worked successfully
when no other communications worked The word Amateur
implies the use of radio communications for non-commercial
purposes. Amateur Radio operation does not use the ground
based infrastructure, and has limited power requirements which
can be easily met by batteries and generators and thus work
successfully in emergencies..
10. SATELLITE BASED COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Satellite based Communication systems mean communication
systems intended for users on the Earth but which have some
equipment in space, i.e. a satellite. The most important feature of
a communications satellite is the transponder - a radio that
receives a conversation at one frequency and then amplifies it
and re-transmits it back to Earth on another frequency.
11. TECHNIQUES OF
COMMUNICATION
There are a variety of ways to reach out to victims of disasters.
One of the most commonly used methods is to organize a press
conference for the mass media. But there are other methods
through which the audience can be reached more directly. These
include sending text messages, using e-mail updates, audio
conferencing, old fashioned press kits, CD-ROMs, webcasts,
and blogs. Both the workers of any entity and the members of all
communities should be included in the list of individuals to reach
as well.
12. Ways to ensure effective
communication
• Plan the Total Requirements of Today and Tomorrow
• Disaster Management Directory
• Skilled Personnel
• Vigorous and Regular Training
• Sub-Control Rooms/Alternate Control Centres
