Information and Communication technologies (further only "ICT") are becoming an essential part of the society, of its structure and functions and impact the lives of individuals. Integration of ICT into education together with a change in the traditional education system into a modern one is therefore seen as an important factor of further development. The paper deals with some of the options of how to utilize electronic support for teaching chemistry at secondary schools. It is mainly the visualisation of the subject matter, proper positive motivation of students and their activation. The paper describes in detail presentation of chemistry using specialized computer software and visualisation of chemical processes. One of the goals of this paper is to present different software for teaching support and to compare them with regards to functionality, user-friendliness and possibilities of other application. Among the selected software there are: ACD/Chemsketch, Isis/Draw, WebLab Viewer Lite, Orbitel Viewer, ArgusLab, Anorganicka chemie, ChemDraw, ChemLab, Basic Chemi and LM Chemie. The significant part of the paper is dedicated to Wolfram Mathematica software, summarizing the essential information about the author, distributor, different versions of the software and their possible utilization....

The main focus of my thesis piece of work is the creation of multimedia tools for pupils´ self-study Math. This tool is an interactive software, specifically it is a Web page that work without connecting to the internet. Especially it is useful for children's home preparation and practising of pupils' knowledge. It can be used during lessons at school too. The main topic of this thesis is solution of equations. A part of the thesis is practical verification of primary school pupils. Their results are compared with the results of pupils who haven´t practised Math on this practical CD.

Wikipedia consists of an online encyclopedia created by users worldwide who collaborate to distribute knowledge and edit information in real-time. Although Wikipedia's accuracy has been a disputable and debatable issue in many recent studies, little academic research has systematically addressed how users interact with the platform's storytelling tools and how do they perceive and use Wikipedia's infrastructure, such as interactive tools. This exploratory study fulfills this gap and sheds light on users' perceptions about Wikipedia's interactivity. Moreover, Wikipedia is approached as an online community where collaboration, co-creation, and knowledge distribution play an important role. Therefore, it can be studied under the scope of Digital Humanities as well. The theoretical framework of interactive storytelling and digital communication suggests that hyperlinks, page preview bottoms, or interactive catalogs are applied in Wikipedia's environment to help users absorb information and construct their narratives. The findings of this thesis offer practical insights on how Wikipedia's interactive storytelling tools empower users with the ability to develop their stories and become editors/authors and provide a foundation for further academic research on user experience and how to improve interactivity and digital communication in Wikipedia

Os conceitos-chave que permeiam o trabalho giram em torno da tecnologia envolvida para otimizar a gestão de suprimentos de empresas que compõem a cadeia produtiva EPC. De modo a permitir uma melhor leitura do comportamento dos EPCistas no Rio de Janeiro e, consequentemente identificar as melhores práticas e ferramentas interativas mais aplicáveis a esse nicho, foi realizado um estudo aprofundado dos principais stakeholders que influenciam ou são influenciados por essa cadeia, tais como: visão do contratante, do fornecedor, do parceiro e de instituições de classe que atuam promovendo boas práticas de gestão do setor. O estudo, realizado através de entrevistas direcionadas aos principais stakeholders dos EPCistas, trás elementos que fundamentam a necessidade de implementação de soluções tecnológicas mais adequadas à evolução pela qual essa cadeia passará, influenciada especialmente pelas descobertas do Pré-Sal. / The present study aims to describe, analyze and propose a set of technologies applicable to aid the management of the acquisition, the expediting, inspection and contracting supply items that compose a complex undertaking to thereby allow companies in EPCistas Rio de Janeiro have productivity gains without loss of quality inherent in the process. The key concepts that permeate the work revolve around the technology involved to optimize the supply management of companies that make up the supply chain EPC. To enable a better reading of the behavior of EPCistas in Rio de Janeiro and thus identify best practices and interactive tools most applicable to that niche, we performed a detailed study of the major stakeholders that influence or are influenced by the chain, such as: Vision of the contractor, supplier, partner and working-class institutions by promoting good management practices in the industry. The study, conducted through interviews of key stakeholders aimed to EPCistas, behind elements that underlie the need to implement technological solutions to the most appropriate evolution through which the chain will, especially influenced by the pre-salt discoveries.

Denna studie är ett kandidatarbete i informationsdesign som fokuserar på interaktionsdesign. Den syftar specifikt till att utveckla och utvärdera en innovativ applikation som förenklar valet av hudvårdsprodukter för personer med allergier och hudkänslighet. Studien använde en kombination av kvalitativa metoder, inklusive intervjuer och användbarhetstester, och kvantitativa metoder, såsom enkäter, för att samla in data. Denna rapport detaljerar utvecklingsprocessen från forskning och användarstudier genom iterativa design och testfaserna till skapandet av en slutlig högkvalitativ prototyp. Utvecklingen innefattade samråd med experter och potentiella användare för att säkerställa en användarcentrerad designinsats. Olika teorier, inklusive kognitiv belastningsteori och principer för användarcentrerad design, tillämpades för att förbättra applikationens användbarhet.

Denna applikation innehåller funktioner som en ingrediensscanner, personliga allergilarm, personliga hudvårdsrekommendationer, community-feedback och recensioner samt en rutintracker. Applikationen hjälper användare att snabbt och effektivt identifiera säkra hudvårdsprodukter, vilket främjar en känsla av förtroende och kontroll över deras hudvårdsval. / This study is a bachelor's thesis in information design that focuses on interaction design. It specifically aims to develop and evaluate an innovative application that aims to simplify the choice of skin care products for people with allergies and skin sensitivities.  The study employed a combination of qualitative methods, including interviews and usability testing, and quantitative methods, such as questionnaires, to gather data. This report details the development process from research and user studies through iterative design and testing phases to the creation of a final high-fidelity prototype. The development involved consultations with experts and potential users to ensure a user-centered design approach. Various theories, including Cognitive Load Theory and User-Centered Design principles, were applied to enhance the application's usability. The outcome of this study is a high-fidelity prototype of Allergo. This application integrates features like an ingredient scanner, personal allergy alerts, personalized skincare recommendations, community feedback, and reviews, as well as a routine tracker. The application helps users identify safe skincare products quickly and effectively, fostering a sense of confidence and control over their skincare choices.
