Under de senaste åren har användningen av mobilapplikationer i smartphones ökat och kommer förmodligen fortsätta att göra det. Smartphoneanvändare ställer ofta höga krav och vill nästan alltid ha bättre prestanda i smartphones vilket driver utvecklingen framåt. Dock har många smartphoneanvändare klagat på att batteriet inte räcker till för deras användning. Enligt olika forskare är inte batteriet dåligt utan det är mobilapplikationer som förbrukar för mycket energi. De flesta studier som handlar om energiförbrukningen i mobilapplikationer fokuserar mycket på de tekniska aspekterna och det finns relativt lite kunskap om vad användare tycker om energiförbrukningen. Detta har skapat ett behov av att forska mer om användningen av mobilapplikationer utifrån användarens perspektiv. Syftet med denna studie är att ta reda på om mobilapplikationers energiförbrukning påverkar hur smartphoneanvändare använder mobilapplikationer. För att samla in kunskap om detta har sammanlagt åtta smartphoneanvändare intervjuats med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer. Studiens resultat visar bland annat att användningen påverkas på olika sätt och det har även visat sig att vissa applikationer påverkar användningen mer än andra. Studien presenterar också vilka inställningar som användare brukar ändra på för att minska energiförbrukningen i mobilapplikationer.

A adoção de lojas de aplicativos e Open APIs por um número crescente de empresas, muitas nem mesmo atuantes no ramo de tecnologia, revela o interesse das mesmas em exteriorizar a concepção e desenvolvimento de software corporativo. Com isso, as empresas almejam multiplicar as funcionalidades disponíveis a seus clientes, utilizando uma fração do custo e do tempo que seriam tradicionalmente gastos para fazê-lo. Ao mesmo tempo, o acesso a dados e sistemas corporativos por softwares de desenvolvedores potencialmente desconhecidos suscita preocupações de segurança, tornando-se imperativo garantir a adequação desses softwares às políticas de segurança institucionais. Entretanto, carece-se de meios automáticos capazes de garantir a mencionada adequação nas plataformas móveis, seja nos seus ambientes de execução ou em seus kits de desenvolvimento de software. Este trabalho, utilizando de ideias recentes da área de Controle de Fluxo de Informação, propõe a arquitetura de um ambiente de execução para aplicativos móveis que garante por construção a adequação dos mesmos a determinadas políticas de confidencialidade e integridade de dados, mesmo na presença de código malicioso. A praticidade de tal arquitetura é validada através da implementação de um aplicativo exemplo. Tal implementação ilustra o funcionamento dos mecanismos de segurança propostos e a compatibilidade dos mesmos a um conjunto de funcionalidades adequado ao cenário de manipulação de dados corporativos. / The adoption of application stores and Open APIs by a growing number of companies, many of them not even related to the technology business, reveals their interest in externalizing the conception and development of corporate software. By doing so, these companies expect to multiply the number of functionalities available to their customers, spending a fraction of the traditionally required time and cost. On the other hand, access to corporate data and services by software developed by potentially unknown parties raises security concerns, making it imperative to ensure the adequacy of the mentioned software to the institutional security policies. Nevertheless, there is a lack of automatic tools capable of guaranteeing the mentioned adequacy in mobile platforms, either in their runtime environments or in their software development kits. This work, using recent ideas from the Information Flow Control area, proposes the architecture of a run-time environment for mobile applications that guarantees by construction their adequacy to some confidentiality and integrity policies, even in the presence of malicious code. The practicality of this architecture is validated by the implementation of an example application. This implementation illustrates the working of the proposed security mechanisms and their compatibility to a set of functionalities relevant to the scenario of corporate data manipulation.

O Diabetes Mellitus Tipo I (DM1) é uma das doenças crônicas mais prevalentes na infância e sua incidência tem aumentado gradativamente em todo o mundo, ocasionando restrições e alterações comportamentais na vida de crianças acometidas, e consequentemente de seus familiares e/ou cuidadores. Pensando no enfrentamento e cuidados de crianças com esta doença crônica, o estudo em questão teve como objetivo o desenvolvimento de um aplicativo (app) para uso diário em dispositivos móveis, que foi elaborado e construído a partir das necessidades de aprendizagem, controle e tratamento de crianças que possuem DM-1 e de seus familiares, identificados em uma cartilha educativa para o mesmo público, que foi desenvolvida no Ambulatório de Endocrinologia e Diabetes Infantil (AENDI) do Hospital de Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo (HCFMRP/USP) por pesquisadoras da Escola de Enfermagem de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo (EERP-USP). Trata-se de uma pesquisa aplicada que teve como método de desenvolvimento o Design Instrucional Contextualizado (DIC) que foi elaborada através das fases de análise, design, desenvolvimento e implementação. O material final construído tem como função contabilizar carboidratos e auxiliar no tratamento do DM-1, monitorizando os valores do que será consumido durante a rotina alimentar diária de seus usuários e também dos testes de glicemia capilar e da quantidade de insulina administrada pelos mesmos. Possui conteúdo informativo e didático com detalhes ilustrativos que visam a estimular o conhecimento e a adesão ao tratamento proposto de uma forma lúdica e interativa. Durante todo o processo em que se deu o desenvolvimento desta ferramenta foi possível observar que a mesma possui potencial enquanto tecnologia educativa que tem como finalidade a de estimular o empoderamento de seus usuários, visando assim a um cuidado seguro e adequado e servindo como grande aliada à promoção em saúde. Espera-se em trabalhos futuros a possibilidade de avaliá-lo sob os aspectos de usabilidade, design e estrutura enquanto instrumento integrante de um sistema mHealth / Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM1) is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in childhood and its incidence has gradually increased around the world, causing restrictions and behavioral changes in affected children\'s lives, and in their relatives and/or caregivers. Considering the coping and caring of children with this chronic disease, this study aimed to develop an application (app) for daily use on mobile devices, which was elaborated and constructed from the needs of learning, control and treatment of children who have DM-1 and their relatives, identified in an educational booklet for the same public, which was developed at the Endocrinology and Childhood Diabetes Outpatient Clinic (ECDOC) of the Hospital of the Ribeirão Preto Medical School at the University of São Paulo (USP) by researchers from the Ribeirão Preto Nursing School at the University of São Paulo (USP). This is an applied research that had as development method the Contextualized Instructional Design that was elaborated through the phases of analysis, design, development and implementation. The final material is designed to measure carbohydrates and to assist in the treatment of DM-1, monitoring the values of what will be consumed during the users daily dietary routine and also the tests of capillary glycemia and the amount of insulin administered by them. It has informative and didactic content with illustrative details that aim to stimulate knowledge and adherence to the proposed treatment in a playful and interactive way. Throughout the process of developing this tool it was possible to observe that it has potential as an educational technology whose purpose is to stimulate the empowerment of its users, aiming at a safe and adequate care and serving as a great alliance with health promotion. Future work is expected to evaluate it under the usability, design and structure aspects as an integral instrument of an mHealth system

<p>Mobilmarknaden idag består av ett antal aktörer, Nokia är störst, med Samsung, Motorola, LG, Sony Ericsson och HTC bakom sig. Nokias telefoner bygger på operativsystemet Symbian som idag är det största operativsystemet på marknaden för smartphones. Open Handset Alliance har utvecklat ett eget operativsystem för främst mobiltelefoner, kallat Android, som är bygger på Linuxkärnan. Android är framtaget som ett gratisalternativ till de dyra konkurrerande operativsystemen.</p><p>Examensarbetets syfte är att studera utvecklingsmiljön till Android och se vilka kunskaper som krävs för att effektivt kunna utveckla applikationer. I detta ingår även att identifiera vilka möjliga problem som kan uppstå under utveckling, samt dokumentera vilka utvecklingsverktyg som finns tillgängliga.</p><p> </p><p>Målet har varit att utreda hur applikationer utvecklas effektivt, det innebär att ta reda på svaren till vad som krävs av utvecklare för att kunna utveckla applikationer, vilka utvecklingsverktyg som finns, samt vilka problem som kan identifieras under utveckling. Studien valdes att genomföras med en kartläggning, för på djupet beskriva operativsystemet och hur dess delar samspelar med varandra.</p><p> </p><p>I studien undersöktes hur plattformen är uppbyggd och vilka fundamentala delar som en applikation består av, samt vilka verktyg som används för att utveckla applikationer. I studien ingick även att utveckla två stycken testapplikationer, en musikigenkänningstjänst och en lokaliseringstjänst.</p><p>Förutom erfarenhet av utveckling i språket Java krävs förståelse för hur plattformen fungerar och är uppbyggd. Förståelse för plattformen man utvecklar för är alltid viktigt, men Android skiljer sig markant från klassiska plattformar. En utvecklare bör därmed ha specifik förståelse för hur plattformen fungerar, hur applikationer är uppbyggda och hur de körs. Vidare lider Android även av att vara ett ungt operativsystem med bristfällig dokumentation och buggar som kan medföra problem under utveckling av applikationer. Som utvecklare för Android är man förvisad till att använda Eclipse som verktyg, något som fungerar smidigt då de flesta utvecklare i Java är bekanta med Eclipse. Till Eclipse finns även ett debugverktyg som man som utvecklare har stor nytta av. Den viktigaste lärdomen att ha när man utvecklar för Android är som nämnts ovan, att Android skiljer sig markant från klassiska plattformar och på vilket sätt måste ses som grundläggande kunskap för en utvecklare.</p>

Detta projekt går ut på att skapa en stabil och användbar mobilapplikation utvecklad i programspråket Java. Syftet är att underlätta åtkomsten och kommunikationen mellan Studentportalen och studenterna. Slutprodukten är Mittuniversitetets inofficiella applikation, kallad Mittuniversitetets Android-app. som begränsas i första hand till enheter med operativsystemet Android. Genom undersökningar, gjorda via både Mittuniversitetets studentportal i form av en enkät och fysiskt på Mittuniversitetet campus Sundsvall i form av muntliga intervjuer, utreds vilka områden studenterna helst vill ha i applikationen och det är utefter dessa som applikationen utformas. Applikationen betraktas som färdig när studenterna bl.a. kommer åt sina uppgifter och får dessa presenterade på ett stilrent sätt. Tre olika lösningsalternativ ges men jämförelser av för- och nackdelar leder till att endast ”direktanslutning som lösning” genomförs i detta projekt. För att ge läsaren en grund för fortsatt förståelse av rapporten beskrivs vissa delar närmare i rapporten. Rapporten visar även att åtkomsten till Studentportalen effektiviserats till 5 skärmtryck genom Mittuniversitetets applikation från tidigare 24 skärm-tryck genom mobiltelefonens egna webbläsare. Samtliga mål i projektet anses vara uppfyllda och visas som skärmdumpar i rapporten. Avslutningsvis framgår även förslag för vidareutveckling av applikationen. / This project is made for creating a stabil and useful mobile application developed in Java. The purpose of this project is to make the access and communication easier between the student and the student portal. The product of this project is the unofficial app of Mid Sweden University, called Mittuniversitetets Android-app, that in first hand is limited to Android-devices. By doing research, both by letting students answer a survey online on Mid Sweden University's student portal and by asking student physically at Mid Sweden University campus Sundsvall, the investigation tells which parts of the student portal students would like to have in the mobile application and it is according to those answers that the direction of the application has been developed. The product, which is the application, is considered complete when the students are able to for exempel reach their information and get the information presented in a good way. Three different suggestions for a solution is given and by comparing the benefits of those only one solution is chosen. The solution chosen is ”direct-connection as solution”. To be able to give the reader better basical and understandable knowledge some parts are explained in more detail in this report. The report also shows that the access to the student portal is more effective now that only 5 taps are required by using the Mid Sweden University application to get a students information instead of 24 taps by using the web-browser on the cellphone. All goals in this thesis is considered accomplished and screenshots shows this in the report. Finally there is also suggestions for some future works given in this report.

Το mHealth, η χρήση δηλαδή φορητών τεχνολογιών για την βελτίωση των παρεχόμενων υπηρεσιών υγείας, είναι σήμερα ένα από τα πιο ταχέως αναπτυσσόμενα πεδία της ηλεκτρονικής υγείας (eHealth). Ο αριθμός των επαγγελματιών υγείας που υιοθετούν έξυπνα κινητά τηλέφωνα (smartphones) για την εκτέλεση πληθώρας λειτουργιών αυξάνεται συνεχώς, εξαιτίας των δυνατοτήτων και της φορητότητας που αυτά παρέχουν. Ταυτόχρονα, τα σφάλματα στη φαρμακευτική αγωγή είναι από τα πιο συνηθισμένα ιατρικά λάθη με επιπτώσεις τόσο στην υγεία του ασθενούς όσο και στις δαπάνες στην υγεία. Η χορήγηση φαρμάκων είναι μια πολύπλοκη διαδικασία, καθώς απαιτεί από τον ειδικό της υγείας την ανάλυση πληθώρας παραγόντων και την ανάκτηση, επεξεργασία και διαχείριση μεγάλου όγκου πληροφορίας. Σύμφωνα με τη βιβλιογραφία, η χρήση τεχνολογιών πληροφορικής για την υποβοήθηση των επαγγελματιών υγείας στη λήψη αποφάσεων κατά τη συνταγογράφηση, μπορεί να συμβάλει σημαντικά στη μείωση των σφαλμάτων φαρμακευτικής αγωγής. Στο πλαίσιο της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας, προχωρήσαμε στη διερεύνηση και αξιολόγηση των σημαντικότερων εφαρμογών έξυπνων κινητών συσκευών για το φάρμακο, με στόχο την εξαγωγή χρήσιμων συμπερασμάτων για τα χαρακτηριστικά και τις λειτουργίες που ενσωματώνουν. Ένα από τα βασικά συμπεράσματα της έρευνας ήταν η απουσία αντίστοιχης εφαρμογής για τα φάρμακα που είναι εγκεκριμένα από τον Εθνικό Οργανισμό Φαρμάκων (ΕΟΦ). Ως εκ τούτου, προχωρήσαμε στο σχεδιασμό και την ανάπτυξη εφαρμογής για τον έλεγχο ασυμβασιών μεταξύ φαρμάκων, η οποία παρέχει επιπλέον τη δυνατότητα προβολής πληροφοριών συνταγολογίου για τα φάρμακα του ΕΟΦ. Ο σχεδιασμός της εφαρμογής έγινε λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τις ανάγκες και τις απαιτήσεις μελλοντικών χρηστών, όπως οι επαγγελματίες υγείας και οι ασθενείς, προκειμένου να διασφαλιστεί η λειτουργικότητα και η ευχρηστία της. Η εν λόγω εφαρμογή προορίζεται για έξυπνες κινητές συσκευές που διαθέτουν λειτουργικό σύστημα Android, ενώ η πληροφορία που ενσωματώνει βασίζεται αποκλειστικά στο εθνικό συνταγολόγιο του ΕΟΦ. / Mobile Health or mHealth, namely the use of mobile and wireless technologies in order to improve health services and achieve health goals, is today one of the most rapidly expanding fields of electronic health (eHealth). The number of health professionals that adopt smartphones to perform multiple tasks, during their everyday medical practice, is increasing constantly. This is due to the fact that smartphones provide advanced computing capabilities and high portability. Simultaneously, medication errors are among the most common medical errors which have negative impact both for the health of the patient and the expenditure on health sector. Drug prescribing is quite a complex procedure, considering the fact that requires the health expert to analyze multiple factors and retrieve, process, manage and digest large volume of information. According to the literature, the use of information technologies to assist health professionals in decision-making when prescribing drugs, can contribute significantly to the reduction of medication errors. In the context of our work, we explored and evaluated the major smartphone applications for drugs, aiming to the extraction of useful conclusions about the features and functions that they incorporate. One of the research key findings was the absence of a corresponding application for the drugs that are approved by the National Drug Organization of Greece. Therefore, we design and develop an application for checking drug-drug interactions which additionally provides the ability to view national formulary information about drugs. The analysis and design of the application was implemented in collaboration with future users, such as health professionals and patients, in order to ensure that will meet their needs and requirements and at the same time will remain user friendly. This application is intended for Android smart mobile devices (e.g. smartphones, tablet PCs) and the information that integrates is solely based on the national formulary of the National Drug Organization of Greece.

Today, Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing and Web Services play an important role in networking and computing. P2P computing, that aims addressing all the resources in a network and sharing them, is an old paradigm that gains importance nowadays with the advent of popular file sharing and instant messaging applications. On the other hand, a Web service is a software system that has an interface allowing applications to interact with other applications through Internet or intranet. Providing methods for publishing and discovering Web services from which mobile devices can facilitate in a P2P environment enables exploitation of P2P and Web service technologies efficiently by mobile devices. This also extends the range of devices that facilitate P2P and Web services technologies from servers and desktop computers to personal digital assistants (PDAs) and mobile phones. In this thesis, an architecture that enables publishing and discovering Web services for mobile clients that are inter-connected in a P2P environment is introduced. Key issues in this architecture are allowing mobile devices to join in a P2P network group, publishing Web services and discovering these services in P2P network. Invoking Web services that are published and discovered is another key issue in this architecture. The architecture introduced exploits P2P and Web services standards using various tools for mobile devices. For the purpose of organizing a P2P environment, JXTA protocols and services are used. WSDL is used for describing Web services. JXTA advertisements help in publication and discovery of Web services / and BPEL enables composition, deployment and execution of Web services. The architecture introduced within the scope of this thesis combines all these standards with tools that enable use of these standards on mobile devices. The work done in this thesis is realized as a part of Artemis, a project funded by European Commission for providing interoperability of medical information systems.
