54. Al-Qamar/The Moon
I/We begin by the Blessed Name of Allah
The Immensely Merciful to all, The Infinitely Compassionate to everyone.
54:01
a. The Last Hour has drawn near,
b. and the moon has been split open.
54:02
a. But whenever they see a Sign, they turn away, and mock:
b. Just the ‘same old deception, continuing!’
54:03
a. And they belie it and follow their whims.
b. But every matter will reach its proper end - so they will know the truth.
54:04
a. Certainly enough of the narratives of the fate of the former disbelieving nations would have
already come in which there is deterrence,
54:05
a. narratives full of far reaching wisdom,
b. yet the warnings do not benefit them.
54:06
a. So turn away from them.
b. The Time is going to come when the Caller will call all people to a horrible event;
54:07
a. with their eyes humbled, they will emerge out of their graves as if they were swarms of locust, looking confused and bewildered,
54:08
a. scrambling in a stampede and rushing towards the Caller.
b. The disbelievers will say remorsefully:
c. ‘This is such a difficult time!’
54:09
a. Before them the People of Noah too had belied OUR Messages and Messenger,
b. and they belied OUR servant Noah, and alleged:
c. ‘He is insane!’
d. And he was rebuked and prevented from advocacy.
54:10
a. So he appealed to his Rabb - The Lord in utter helplessness:
b. ‘I have certainly been overpowered.
c. So help’ me!
TechnoHeart is a digital way of monitoring heart rate using a Heart Rate Monitor device and an android phone. Moreover, this is made more special through its work-out training which is designed to help users set and achieve their target heart rate and monitor at what training intensity they are during a strenuous exercise. The training is made more interactive as the application has its real-time audio coaching. The need for this application comes from three sources; First, some athletes, non-athletes and even doctors are still using the traditional way of getting the heart rate; Second, training intensity is not monitored and target heart rate is not achieved; Third, most mobile developments do not tailor the need of users who undergo work-out training. With the following needs, objectives were set; First, to connect an HRM (Heart Rate Monitoring) device to an android mobile device and display individual’s heart rate in digital form through mobile; Second, to create a work-out training program using the Karvonen Formula; Third, to enable users know one’s target heart rate by using a Karvonen calculator; Fourth, to notify users in real time with every sudden change and the needed action in order to keep an effective training exercise. The project is to explore this and other similar concepts to develop a design that optimally satisfies all of these objectives. The project addresses all of these objectives while meeting the constraints given. The project was deployed in three different sets of users: The University of Mindanao Athletes, The elderly users aging from 50-80 years old and the other users aging from 12-49 years old. The researchers recommend the use of TechnoHeart for athletes and non-athletes who are aiming for an effective cardiovascular training. And for the next researchers, they can focus on the compatibility of the said application to other mobile platforms like iOS, Blackberry, Windows and etc. And also, they may upload application in the internet such as in social networking sites or any features that would make this project more usable.
Natural disasters affect millions of peoples every year around the globe. These include flood, fire, earthquake, windstorm etc. These disasters are different in nature but in the end, they cause damage to human lives, economy, properties and health. Diversity in the nature of these calamities also requires different ways to monitor them and to mitigate the damages they cause. Floods, among other disasters, are the most common hazards that leave nothing but destruction behind. In addition to an effective evacuee plan, forecast information and keeping the communication up even when the flood is at its climax, helps the citizens survive through a flood situation. Thus damages can be reduced significantly and it also helps to seek aid, food and shelter in a better way. Furthermore, such information serves as a learning source and helps planning ahead for the future floods.
Smart Flood Monitoring System-of-Systems (SoS) is a flood monitoring and rescue system. It collects a large amount of information from weather and flood onlookers and observers. This information is then made available as alerts to the citizens before the flood, to plan ahead and during the disaster for getting help and to support rehabilitation process. System also maintains communication with the authorities for disaster management, social services and public utilities (collectively referred to as ?emergency responders?) to synchronize their support and rescue efforts with the community needs. The proposed approach satisfies three conditions imposed by the definition of SoS i.e. autonomy, geographic distribution and constant evolution of components. Main focus of the proposal is to specify, design and formally verifying a smart SoS model of flood monitoring to communicate the right information to the right people at the right place well in time. Smart Flood Monitoring System-of-Systems (SoS) is verified by constructing Timed Coloured Petri Nets (CPN) using CPN Tools 4.0.0. Model checking is done by specifying the safety properties in Finite Space Processes (FSP) and analyzing them by Labeled Transition System Analyzer (LTSA) 3.0. This formal verification will ensure the correctness properties of the proposed model.
