Although the transmission rates of first passive optical networks were 622 Mbit/s the current technologies support more than 10 Gbit/s. The rapid development in the last decade opens problem with utilizing of already installed infrastructure and coexistence older standards with new one. The modulation formats like differential phase shift keying and differential quadrature phase shift keying appear to be potential for increasing performance of nowadays used gigabit passive optical networks and next-generation passive optical networks. The simulations show improvement of bit error rate estimation approximately 2 dB.","PeriodicalId":149716,"journal":{"name":"2020 18th International Conference on Emerging eLearning Technologies and Applications (ICETA)","volume":"337 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123315587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sensor network, its implementation, applications and analyzes were implemented within the framework of student projects and teacher research. The article describes a specific implementation of data analysis from a Bluetooth signal sensor. Basic statistical, exploratory data analysis and localization analysis through the simple clustering methods inspired create the draft to expand the WSN network with additional sensors and create mainly of a new data analysis system.

In the current modern era, the data has become a commodity, and the data are traded like goods in many cases The systems, working with the massive amount of the data, do not only with values already in the system but also with the system's data in real-time. So, they influence many evaluation systems, respectively, they modify various statistics. The real data play a crucial part during transformation processes and the mutual affecting of the data. This article will create a synchronization barrier that will be used to influence the data during the data transformation from a relational database to a nonrelational database. The purpose of this barrier is to reduce the time needed for a data change from source database to target database and, by this, to reduce the number of operations that would be required to do after finishing the process just with incoming values.","PeriodicalId":149716,"journal":{"name":"2020 18th International Conference on Emerging eLearning Technologies and Applications (ICETA)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129455304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these programming languages do not bring enough motivated students. Our Department of Computer Science at FNS UMB offers motivational workshops for secondary schools in region of Banská Bystrica. We would like to motivate students to proceed with study of Computer science in the future, because Slovakia reports a lack of IT professionals (but problem is worldwide).

To tackle the fraud risk holistically it is not enough to implement fraud-risk related processes into daily operations and deploy fraud detection and prevention tools and systems. The weakest point is usually the person - employee or customer, especially the uneducated one. Therefore, it is essential complement the above measures with awareness and education. In this paper we reviewed different channels available for fraud prevention awareness campaigns and their characteristics (reach, relative cost, age group and supported message format) which impact their applicability. We also analyzed historical occurrences of fraud related messaging as well as fraud awareness posts distributed through one of the “youngest” channel - Twitter (social network) by the banks in the UAE. We analyzed the tweets of selected banks in UAE to observe, how they use this channel for communication with their customers and more specifically - how they use the channel for the purpose of fraud awareness.","PeriodicalId":149716,"journal":{"name":"2020 18th International Conference on Emerging eLearning Technologies and Applications (ICETA)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128204265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
