<p>This thesis will look into what kind of solutions a company or a private person can use if they want to create a dynamic website using only free software. To do this we divided our work in two parts. In the first part, we developed a dynamic website for a Swedish company. On the server side we used exclusively free software with open source code. There are different meanings in how the term “free” should be used when referring to software, which we will explain in the thesis. We have also chosen to work with the XMLtechnology to see if it lives up to its expectations and to see if we could benefit from the technology. Alongside with the development of our site, another company developed a site for the same company as us, by using non-free software. We have described both implementations and compared them to see if it is possible to do the same thing with both free and non-free software. </p><p>The investigating part of our work consisted of getting information about what other people think about the free software phenomenon. To do so we created an online questionnaire where we randomly picked 100 Swedish web agencies and asked them to answer 8 questions about what kind of software they used in their company, and what they thought about free software. To get some more opinions we also interviewed two persons involved in these kinds of topics. Jan Sandred, who is a well known expert advisor in topics concerning the Information Technology area and Richard Stallman, the founder of GNU and the Free Software Movement. </p><p>The reason for dividing the thesis in two parts was to get an overall picture on the subject. We did not only want to base our results on other people’s thoughts. We wanted to make our own conclusions based on the implementation we did. This approach showed out to be very good. We got to try working with free software ourselves to see its pros and cons and build our own opinions about it. We could then proceed to compare our impressions to other people’s impressions about free software.</p>

<p>The first hospital outbreak of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and carriage rates of VRE and ampicillin-resistant enterococci (ARE) in Sweden were investigated. Clonal relationships and mutations in fluoroquinolone resistance determining regions among ARE collected nation-wide were studied. Risk factors for ARE infection, shedding of ARE and the presence of the virulence gene <i>esp</i> in ARE isolates and patients on a hematology unit and other units at Uppsala University Hospital were further investigated. </p><p>The first Swedish hospital VRE outbreak was due to clonal spread of <i>E. faecium, vanA</i>. The nation wide carriage rates of ARE and VRE were 21.5% / 1% and 6% / 0%, among hospitalized patients and non-hospitalized individuals respectively. All ARE and VRE were <i>E. faecium</i> and >90% resistant to ciprofloxacin. All VRE carried<i> vanB</i>. Carriage of ARE was independently associated with >5 days of antibiotic treatment. Phenotypic and genetic typing showed a significantly higher homogeneity among ARE compared to matched ASE <i>E. faecium</i> isolates. Mutations conferring high-level ciprofloxacin resistance were found only in ARE. Risk factors for ARE infection included long duration of hospital stay and exposure to antibiotics. Skin carriage was associated with ARE shedding. ARE bacteremia was independently associated with prior ARE colonization and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Death was more common in ARE septicemia cases compared to controls. <i>Esp</i> was significantly more common in ARE surveillance compared to ARE blood isolates from patients on the hematology ward.</p><p>In conclusion, VRE were rare but clonally related multi-resistant ARE <i>E. faecium</i> were highly prevalent in Swedish hospitals. Spread of ARE in hospitals during the 1990s is suggested to be the main explanation for the emergence of ARE in Sweden. Spread was facilitated by use of antibiotics and probably by the presence of virulence genes in<i> E. faecium</i> isolates.</p>

<p>Market information and established communication between seller and buyer play an important role in business activities. This thesis investigates the Transkei area in the Eastern Cape&nbsp / Province, South Africa to find out how to empower rural farmers by providing them with less-expensive mobile technology enabling them to post and advertise their produce, access market&nbsp / information on a common database, and find and communicate with potential customers. The farmers&rsquo / requirements were identified using quantitative and qualitative methods and a prototype&nbsp / consisting of USSD and web applications was developed. It allows the farmer to follow a sequence of menu commands to send a request to the database and access market information, such&nbsp / as commodity prices, and post information about their own produce so as to attract more customers. The low cost of USSD and the ubiquity of mobile phones enable the system to be usable, affordable and effective. During the final stage of development, the system was tested successfully and addressed a major problem faced by farmers, i.e. lack of access to market information.</p>

Wie lassen sich Corporate Design-konforme Drucksachen erzeugen, ohne Zugang zur Gestaltung zu haben. Der Vortrag stellt das strukturierte Datenformat XML, die Transformationssprache XSLT, die Formatierungssprache XSL-FO und den FO-Prozessor Apache FOP vor. Am praktischen Beispiel des TU Chemnitz-Plakatgenerators wird erläutert, wie der Formatierungsprozess abläuft. Des Weiteren wird die Softwarearchitektur des Generators vorgestellt, der sich vorliegender XML-Schablonen bedient, um automatisch und dynamisch das Nutzer-Eingabeformular im Webbrowser zu erzeugen.

Η διπλωματική εργασία στόχο έχει την ανάδειξη του πολιτισμικού πλούτου του χωριού Άγιος Θωμάς Ηρακλείου Κρήτης και προβολή του στον παγκόσμιο Ιστό. Για να πραγματοποιηθεί αυτό θα χρησιμοποιήσουμε τεχνολογίες διαδικτύου ανοιχτού κώδικα καθώς και περιφερειακές συσκευές απεικόνισης και σάρωσης ώστε να επιτύχουμε τη βέλτιστη ψηφιοποίηση του υλικού που διαθέτουμε. Το υλικό μας είναι τόσο φωτογραφίες, βίντεο και ηχητικά αποσπάσματα, όσο και γραπτά κείμενα που αφορούν την ιστορία του χωριού αλλά και τη σημερινή του ζωή. Μέσω των νέων τεχνολογιών αποσκοπούμε στην διατήρησή τους σε κατάσταση αναλλοίωτη στο χρόνο και προσβάσιμη από παντού και από οποιονδήποτε ενδιαφερόμενο. Ο ιστότοπος που θα δημιουργηθεί θα αποτελεί ένα κόμβο ενημέρωσης και περιήγησης στο χωριό και την ιστορία του παράλληλα με την ενημέρωση που θα παρέχει στο χρήστη για τις προσεχείς εκδηλώσεις του πολιτιστικού συλλόγου. Με λίγα λόγια θα είναι ένας τόπος συγκέντρωσης όλων όσων κατάγονται από τον Άγιο Θωμά προσφέροντάς τους ένα πλούσιο αποθετήριο της πολιτισμικής κληρονομιάς του τόπου, σε μια προσπάθεια να έρθουν πιο κοντά στο χωριό από όποιο μέρος του κόσμου κι αν βρίσκονται. Χρησιμοποιώντας γλώσσες προγραμματισμού όπως PHP, CSS, JavaScript, HTML, βάσεις δεδομένων MySQL καθώς και Content Magement Systems όπως η Joomla θα προσπαθήσουμε να δείξουμε πως είναι εφικτό να φτάσουμε σε άρτια προβολή και παρουσίαση του ψηφιοποιημένου υλικού με μικρό κόστος και σε μικρό χρονικό διάστημα αφήνοντας παρακαταθήκη για περαιτέρω εργασία και μοντελοποίηση του συγκεκριμένου CMS ώστε να τεθεί στην υπηρεσία του πολιτισμού. Ψηφιοποίηση πολιτισμικού αποθέματος του χωριού Αγ. Θωμά Ηρακλείου Κρήτης και προβολή του στον ιστότοπο του πολιτιστικού συλλόγου Αγ. Θωμά «Ο Λόγιος» www.logios.gr, μέσω νέων τεχνολογιών διαδικτύου ανοικτού κώδικα. / The MSc thesis aims to highlight the cultural wealth of the village of St Thomas Heraklion and demonstrate it on the web. To do this we will use Internet technologies and open source peripherals imaging and scanning to achieve optimal digitization of materials available. Our material is so photos, videos and audio clips, and writings on the history of the village and its current life. Through new technologies we intend to keep them in a state invariant in time and accessible from anywhere and from anyone interested. The site created will be a hub for information and tour the village and its history along with information that will provide the user about forthcoming events of the cultural association. In short it is a meeting place for all those descended from St. Thomas, offering a rich repository of cultural heritage site in an effort to come closer to the village from anywhere in the world they are. Using programming languages such as PHP, CSS, JavaScript, HTML, MySQL Databases and Content Magement Systems like Joomla will try to show that it is possible to reach a well-promotion and presentation of digitized material at low cost and short time leaving legacy for further work and modeling of specific CMS to put at the service of culture.

Ένα e-portfolio είναι μία συλλογή περιεχομένου την οποία κατασκευάζει και διατηρεί ένας χρήστης στο Web. Το περιεχόμενο μπορεί να περιλαμβάνει κείμενο, αρχεία, εικόνες, multimedia, blogs κτλ. και μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί για διάφορους σκοπούς. Σκοπός της εργασίας αυτής ήταν η δημιουργία πλατφόρμας παραγωγής eportfolios, με στόχο τη διαδικτυακή της χρήση. Η όλη πλατφόρμα δημιουργήθηκε με τη χρήση των γλωσσών προγραμματισμού HTML,PHP, Javascript, Ajax και τον εξυπηρετητή βάσεων δεδομένων Mysql. Ειδικότερα, υλοποιήθηκε μια πλατφόρμα παραγωγής προσωποποιημένων eportfolio με ιδιαίτερη βαρύτητα σε λειτουργίες κοινωνικής δικτύωσης. Στα eportfolios που δημιουργούνται, ο ιδιοκτήτης έχει τη δυνατότητα να ανεβάζει εικόνες, βίντεο και έγγραφα, να τα παρουσιάζει σε galleries, να τα οργανώνει σε κατηγορίες και να παρουσιάζει πληροφορίες αναφορικά με το άτομό του. Οι χρήστες, από την άλλη, μπορούν να επισκέπτονται τα eportfolios, να βλέπουν τα αρχεία που έχει ανεβάσει ο ιδιοκτήτης, να τα σχολιάζουν, να κάνουν share ή like με τη χρήση του facebook λογαριασμού τους ή tweet με τον ατίστοιχο λογαριασμό twitter. Με τον τρόπο αυτό επιτυγχάνεται μια θετική ανάδραση μεταξύ άυτών και του ιδιοκτήτη στοχεύοντας στην ανταλλαγή απόψεων, στη βελτίωση των ικανοτήτων του κατόχου, αλλά και του συστήματος γενικότερα. Στα πρωτοποριακά χαρακτηριστικά του συστήματος περιλαμβάνεται η δυνατότητα αναζήτησης στα δύο μεγαλύτερα κοινωνικά δίκτυα (Facebook και Twitter) για οτιδήποτε σχετικό με κάποιο από τα αρχεία που έχει ανεβάσει κάποιος χρήστης στο eportfolio του. Χρησιμοποιείται για το σκοπό αυτό το API του facebook. Επίσης, το σύστημα έχει τη δυνατότητα να προτείνει στους χρήστες του να επισκεφτούν eportfolios άλλων χρηστών με παρόμοια θεματολογία με τη χρήση tags και του Jaccard index. Τέλος, δίνεται η δυνατότητα στους χρήστες να ενημερώνονται για τις τελευταίες δραστηριότητες που υπάρχουν σε όλα τα eportfolios, μέσω της υπηρεσίας RSS, εόσον βέβαια κάνουν εγγραφή σε αυτή. ολο το σύστημα υλοποιήθηκε με βασικό γνώμονα την ευχρηστία και την καλύτερη εξυπηρέτηση των χρηστών. Η εφαρμογή μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθέι άμεσα για προσωπική χρήση από κάθε ενδιαφερόμενο, αλλά και για διδακτικούς σκοπούς στην εξ αποστάσεως εκπαίδευση. / An electronic portfolio is a collection of electronic evidence assembled and managed by a user, usually on the Web. Such electronic evidence may include inputted text, electronic files, images, multimedia, blog entries and can be used for various purposes. The aim of this thesis was the creation of an Eportfolio Development Platform, which will be used on Web. The whole platform was developed by using the HTML, PHP, Ajax and Javascript Programming Languages and the Mysql Database Management System. Specifically, the eportfolios that will be created are personalized eportfolios with many social features. The owner can upload pictures, videos and documents, present them in galleries, organize them in categories and share information about himself and his career/work. Visitors, on the other hand, can view the uploaded files, comment, share or like via facebook or tweet via twitter. As a result, there can be a very positive feedback between the owner and the visitors. The desirable outcome will be the improvement of the owner’ s skills and abilities as well as the system’s features. The new features that the system provide, include searching on the two biggest online social networks (Facebook and Twitter) for anything that is relevant to the files that are presented in the system's eportfolios. This was implemented, using the Facebook Graph API. Also, the system can suggest its users to visit eportfolios whose topic is close to their own eportfolio's topic, using tags and Jaccard index. Finally, users can be informed of the recent activity in any eportfolio, through the RSS service, if they had been subscribed on it. The whole platform was implemented with the basic concern being the usability and the best servicing for the users. The system can be used easily either for personal reasons or for elearning.
