    Effects of asistive devices on the percormance of children with hearing impairment in Punjab
    (University of Management and Technology, 2014) Ehsaan Nullah; Ramzan, Muhammad
    The present study intended to investigate about the effects of assistive devices on the performance of children with hearing impairment in Punjab. The purpose of the study was to highlight the effects of assistive devices on the performance of children with hearing impairment. The sample was selected by using purposive sampling technique. The sample consisted of 50 teachers of children with hearing impairment of eighteen different schools from eleven district of the Punjab. The objectives of the study were to find out the effectiveness of the assistive devices for hearing impaired students, investigate the barriers in the way to use assistive technology for children with hearing impairment, highlight the need for training of teachers to use assistive devices, find out what knowledge and skills are required to facilitate the use of Assistive Technology and to investigate the factors that encourage the use of assistive technology. The study conclude that the use of assistive technology is immensely important for better academic, linguistic, intellectual, social and emotional development of the children with hearing impairment.

    Generic Framework for IPS with WIFI
    (University of Management & Technology, 2018) Ramzan, Muhammad; Tariq, Hafiz Daniyal; Ahmed, Salman; Roomi, Sohaib
    Indoor positioning system IPS works like Global Positioning System [GPS] is used to locate and track object and places. But the difference here is that as per the name of the proposed system, IPS is used to locate objects and places inside the buildings. Since there is no standard indoor positioning system on the market; we are trying to develop one. Like Google Maps, we are working to provide Single application for all indoor map that will be It has become a major field of research worldwide to work on and develop an accurate indoor positioning system since the previous 4 to 5 years. As GPS is fully evolved tracking and navigation system this system is available in many forms now a day, but the most developed and publically available is Google Maps. It is available as web applications and mobile application. It is free to use; and is very accurate. Now if we talk about modern architectures, buildings they cover vast squares of land i.e. huge shopping malls and airports. These places have sometimes complex inside pathways or huge corridors similar to each other, that people often get confused or get lost; and for the newcomer that would be a nightmare no matter of the signboards, GPS does not provide navigation through these buildings. There are some there are some locally available Indoor positioning systems that provide indoor positioning using different technologies i.e. RFID tagging, Bluetooth low energy [BLE] (HULTGREN & PAPATHANOPOULOS, 2014) beacon technology and wireless technologies, but they are highly expensive and some of them are also not very accurate. Now IPS provides a smart, handy and relatively cheap solution to this problem. It uses wireless routers to triangulate/locate points. It also provides 2D maps of the places/buildings, so that a person could easily navigate through. Our system will be less costly because we will use already deployed WIFI routers in the buildings; we will use them for triangulation and as direction beacon. This system consists of a mobile application, WIFI routers online database systems, and Google firebase platform. The app [Locator] is developed by using IDE Android Studio for android application development that uses Java as the default language for development.
