Denna rapport jämför prestandan hos applikationer utvecklade med två olika verktyg som används för att utveckla mobilapplikationer till flera plattformar samtidigt. Verktygen som jämförs är React Native och Apache Cordova. Verktygen fungerar på olika sätt, React Native renderar applikationen genom att använda plattformsspecifika- komponenter medans Cordova renderar med hjälp av HTML5 och CSS3. Jämförelsen går till genom att utveckla tre applikationer med de båda verktygen (totalt sex applikationer) och sedan jämföra prestandan hos dessa. Testapplikationerna är framtagna för att testa funktionalitet som förekommer ofta hos applikationer idag. Testapplikation 3 testar exempelvis ett oändligt scrollande flöde, som förekommer hos både Facebook och Instagram. Resultaten visar att Cordova i dessa tester har en CPU-användning på 76% lägre än React Native och även har en minnesanvändning som är 18% lägre.

Johnny Derrick Yelton, Ph.D. The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2013 Chairman: Dr. J. D. Payne This dissertation examines the evangelistic content of the pastoral preaching of Adrian P. Rogers during his thirty-two years of ministry at Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis, Tennessee. Chapter 1 introduces the thesis and explains the purpose, goals, limitations and methodology of this study. Chapter 2 examines the significant events and people in the life of Rogers that influenced and shaped his passion for evangelistic preaching. This chapter provides a brief biography of Rogers that discusses his conversion and call to the ministry, his education in college and seminary, his pastoral ministry, his broadcast ministry, and his denominational leadership. It also identifies the characteristics demonstrated by Rogers that contributed to his effective evangelistic preaching ministry. Chapter 3 examines the sermon preparation, organization, and delivery skills of Rogers. The objective of this chapter is to identify the homiletical style of Rogers' sermons with a focus upon his expository methodology. This chapter provides a study of the functional elements of Rogers' sermons, and identifies nine characteristics of evangelistic preaching reflected in Rogers' preaching. Finally this chapter considers the hermeneutical integrity of the sermons of Rogers in order to determine if he forced an evangelistic meaning into a text and thereby twisted the intent of the original author of the text. Chapter 4 examines the evangelistic invitation of Rogers. This chapter provides a brief background regarding the origin of the evangelistic invitation and the criticism of some evangelicals regarding its historical and modern usage. The focus of this chapter, however, is upon the methodology of Rogers. This chapter addresses any problems and concerns regarding the evangelistic invitations of Rogers and it identifies the components and characteristics of Rogers' evangelistic invitation. Chapter 5 is a study of the evangelistic content of Rogers' sermons. The goal of this chapter is to determine how often Rogers actually preached an evangelistic sermon from the pulpit of Bellevue Baptist Church. This chapter begins with a definition of evangelistic preaching, and provides a methodology for measuring the evangelistic content of Rogers' sermons based upon this definition. Next, this chapter offers an evaluation of the evangelistic content discovered in the sermons of Rogers, and gives a critical analysis of the evangelistic preaching ministry of Rogers based upon these findings. Finally, this chapter provides recommendations for an effective evangelistic preaching ministry. Chapter 6 gives a conclusion to this study. This chapter addresses the importance of evangelistic preaching in the church. Furthermore, it introduces the discoveries made from this study and gives a summary of those discoveries. It also outlines an application of the strengths of Rogers' evangelistic preaching ministry. Finally, it identifies areas for further study in the future. This dissertation also contains two appendices. The first appendix includes significant material regarding one hundred sermons by Rogers including an outline of each sermon and an assessment of the evangelistic content of each sermon. The second appendix provides an example of a gospel presentation and sinner's prayer used in the publication materials of Love Worth Finding Ministries.

Examensarbetet har utförts på Lawson, som idag gör en satsning mot de mobila användarna. Då det idag finns många olika typer av enheter, webbläsare och operativsystem utvecklas det mobila applikationer till varje plattform vilket medför stora kostnader och längre utvecklingstider. Den här rapporten är skriven i syfte att se över vad det finns för möjligheter att använda ny teknik som HTML5 och CSS3 tillsammans med ramverket jQuery for mobile för att utveckla webbapplikationer. För att visa på funktionaliteten och vad man kan göra så har två exempelapplikationer tagits fram och testas på flera olika plattformar/enheter, bland annat en iPad och en Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9. Koden för dessa applikationer finns som bilaga i rapporten. Målet var att se över vad det fanns för stöd för swipes, enhetlig native-design/känsla, kunna använda enhetens kamera och GPS. En hel del, bland annat swipes, GPS och lokal lagring, går att lösa med HTML5 och jQuery for mobile. Men vill man komma åt ännu mer hårdvarunära funktionalitet, så som kamera, så behöver man lägga på ett ramverk, i mitt fall valde jag att utöka arbetet och även se över ramverket Cordova. Det ramverket gjorde att man kunde komma åt kameran i mobilen. Slutsatsen av undersökningen är att det går att göra mycket med jQuery for mobile som bygger på webbtekniker som JavaScript, HTML5 och CSS3. Men för att få hårdvarunära funktionalitet behövs det användas en annan typ av ramverk, t.ex. Cordova, som erbjuder ett API mot själva hårdvarufunktionaliteten. För att den funktionaliteten sedan ska fungera måste applikationen kompileras, på samma sätt som en native-applikation. Dock så använder Cordova samma teknik som ramverket jQuery for mobile, så kostnader och utvecklingstid kan hållas nere. Vid små applikationer fungerar det utmärkt att använda denna teknik men vid större kan man behöva göra lite fler prestandatester innan man säkert kan avgöra om tekniken är lämplig.

The application provides basic information about individual buildings of the university, displays buildings on the map and allows the user to navigate these buildings.

Social and ecological sustainability applications are a significant way to bring equality, equity, and happiness in society. Food waste and food security are two of the most significant problems the people have to tackle the next years. In every country, there are huge problems regarding the food waste which cause serious health problems and pollution not only in the atmosphere but in the subsoil as well. Contrary to that, there is a countless number of people facing food security issues every day across the globe. These problems occurred in Greece as well due to the modern way of living on one hand and the financial crisis on the other. A combination of technological ideas in the economic field of the circular economy could be applied to succeed in sustainable solutions. In this thesis, a literature search conducted in order to identify similar problems in Greece. There are very worrying statistics that indicate the massive food waste that is happening in Greek households. Additionally, the literature search for food security and unemployment reveals the significant problem occurred in society as a result of the financial crisis. An additional search in the field of the circular economy reveals excellent solutions in the agricultural machinery sharing and refactoring that could be applied locally, exploiting the existing infrastructure of the community. These solutions help small and young farmers to improve their financial situations. The author is exploring the effects of the financial crisis in the local economy in an effort to apply technological solutions in a form of a mobile application to interconnect people and make the donation, sharing and job search easier for the community. The ultimate goal of this study is to develop an application that could help the community to move towards social and ecological sustainability. Even though the ideas applied in this thesis are fresh to the community in the author’s region, the results of this work indicate that there are significant support and willingness to contribute. The development efforts are focusing on a mobile application where its features are focusing on the best possible interconnection among people of the community. Participants believe that the application interconnection along with the features provided, like the food donation, food sales, machinery sharing and job search among people of the community, could bring positive results reducing the food waste, promoting the circular economy, and toning the local economy in general. The data have shown that the author is moving towards the right path in his first attempt to present these ideas to the community in his region. Every participant in this study embraces his efforts finding potential value in the provided features of the application.

At the close of the eighth century the third of the Umawi amirs ascended the throne of al-Andalus to be greeted immediately by a rebellion in one of his major towns. This set the stage for a reign which was filled with rebellion and unrest. The border Marches revolted as their governors sought to make themselves independent, a mob of his subjects stormed his palace in Cordoba and almost succeeded in capturing it, he was jeered at when he walked through the streets of Cordoba to the mosque, and at one point he uncovered a plot involving some of the leading scholars in the country to depose him and replace him with his cousin.

Today more and more objects in our daily lives are getting connected to the Internet. This phenomenon is called the Internet of Things and is a way for physical things such as cars, buildings or even bus stations to get access and communicate with other objects using the Internet. The problem is that for every Internet of Things device, an application is often needed in order to communicate with these devices. Developing mobile applications in a separate programming language for each operating system can be an expensive and time consuming task. In this thesis, we implement and evaluate a cross-platform mobile solution for users to interact with smart things using the advantages of web technologies. To compare previous findings in this area, two literature reviews has been performed to find out which is the state of the art on cross-platform mobile development frameworks and smart-things technologies used for interacting with physical objects. The result is a mobile application developed using PhoneGap and jQuery Mobile that interacts with iBeacons, where students inside a university building can get directions and schedules for different rooms. The application received good results from a couple of usability studies, and performed well when measuring its performance. The outcome shows that web technologies that exist today are a viable solution to native mobile applications in terms of interacting with smart things such as tagging technologies.

Cette thèse, centrée sur l'étude de la poésie imprimée à Cordoue entre 1650-1750, est conçue comme une avancée dans le champ de recherche laissé libre ente la tradition positiviste et les innovations dans le domaine de l'interprétation, notamment dans la sociologie des textes et l'exploitation des oeuvres. Cette thèse s’inscrit dans le renouvellement qui s’est produit ces dernières années dans ce domaine et qui a fait progresser les études grâce à une nouvelle dimension de nature interdisciplinaire, au-delà des clivages entre les anciennes méthodologies d'études littéraires et leur analyse des textes basée sur la stylistique, et par l’attention accordée aux processus matériels, comme l'impression et la diffusion du livre, la sociologie des relations auteurs/lecteurs, et les réseaux ainsi formés. Pour développer cette recherche, je bénéficierai d’une double direction, celle du professeur Pedro Ruiz Pérez (PHEBO) de l'Université de Cordoue (Espagne), spécialiste de poésie, et de celle du professeur Jean-Marc Buiguès (AMERIBER) de l'Université de Bordeaux Montaigne, spécialiste de l’imprimerie, de l’édition et de la sociologie des auteurs. Le cadre conceptuel de départ pose qu’il est préférable de ne pas séparer les champs de travail de l'analyse de la poésie, de l'histoire de l'édition, des réseaux de sociabilité et des ressources fournies par les nouvelles technologies. Le modèle méthodologique prend appui sur ces approches et s’articule en une double ligne de travail : le développement d’un corpus (inexistant à ce jour) basé sur les outils des humanités numériques (bases de données, corpus numérisé, etc.) et d'autre part sur le modèle d'analyse mis à l'essai dans les travaux sur l'imprimerie et la poésie, développés respectivement par les deux directeurs. La combinaison des deux permet une approche nouvelle des questions liées à la production, la circulation et la lecture des textes et à leur valeur dans un champ littéraire en développement. / The present thesis, focusing on the study of the poetry printed in Cordova between 1650-1750, it´s an advance in the field opened between the positivist tradition and the innovations in the area of the interpretation, including the sociology of the texts and of the functioning of the works. In the recent years a renovation has appeared in this field, in which the present thesis registers, advancing in a consideration of character to interdisciplinary that it overcomes the existing distances between the former methodologies of the literary studies and his analysis of the texts in stylistic way, with his attention to the material processes, as those of the press and the traffic of the book and the sociology with the relations of authors and readers and the networks that they formed. For the development of the investigation I have the direction from the University of Cordova of Prof. Pedro Ruiz Perez (PHEBO) and for the specialization in press and edition and sociology with Jean-Marc Buiguès (AMERIBER) and the University of Bordeaux 3 Montaigne. This is the start point of the conceptual frame, that considers the convenience of not separating the own work camps of the analysis of the poetry, the history of the edition, the networks of sociology and the resources provided by the new technologies. The methodological model starts of these expositions and takes form of a double line of work: Creation of a bibliography (non-existent up to the date) with support in the tools of the digital humanities (databases, digitized corpuses, etc.) and, of another part, the model of analysis tested in the work on press and poetry, fields respectively developed by both mentioned directors. The conjunction of both allows an new approximation of the questions related to the production, traffic and reading of the texts and his value in a literary field in development. / La presente tesis se centra en el estudio y repertorio de la poesía impresa en Córdoba entre 1650-1750. Se plantea como un avance metodológico en el campo de la tradición positivista y la recepción poética, a partir de la bibliografía y la sociología de los textos. La investigación se inscribe en el marco de cotutela internacional entre la Universidad de Córdoba y l´Université Bordeaux Montaigne, siendo los codirectores de la misma el Prof. Pedro Ruiz Pérez (PHEBO) y el Prof. Jean-Marc Buiguès (AMERIBER), respectivamente. Este trabajo avanza sobre una consideración de carácter interdisciplinar que aúne las metodologías de la literatura, la bibliografía y las Humanidades digitales. Se focaliza la atención en la poesía impresa, atendiendo a los procesos materiales, como la manufactura de las obras mediante la imprenta, la circulación del libro y la red de relaciones sociales-literarias entre autores, lectores e impresores. Radica aquí el marco conceptual de salida, que considera la conveniencia de no separar los campos de trabajo propios del análisis de la poesía, la historia de la edición, las redes de sociabilidad y los recursos proporcionados por las nuevas tecnologías. El modelo metodológico arranca de estos planteamientos y se plasma en la elaboración del repertorio catalográfico que albergue a todas las ediciones impresas que contengan algún verso (inexistente hasta la fecha), un directorio biográfico de todos los agentes literarios que intervengan en la producción de la obra y dos bases de datos relacionales que contenga dicha información, concebidas dentro del marco de las Humanidades Digitales. Esto permitirá un nuevo acercamiento a las cuestiones relacionadas con la producción, circulación y recepción de la poesía. En resumen, esta investigación dotará de las herramientas necesarias para definir la práctica del verso en la sociedad bajobarroca cordobesa.
