“…Moreover, since the strength of electromagnetic field during wireless charging is expected to drop sharply with distance, a device still needs to be close to the charger so as to benefit from maximum power [6,2]. As such, the mobile phone needed to be in complete contact with the charging station.…”

As human beings became dependent on mobile phones, the relationship of these devices with the natural environment became more significant to study. Mobile phones require energy to operate and this is stored within connected batteries. Recently, there has been a shift in the way batteries of mobile phones are charged, namely, from wired to wireless charging. Being regarded as a transformational technology in the mobile world, many smartphone manufacturers have been investing in this technology. However, current wireless charging mechanisms meant for mobile phones are recognized to be slow and energy inefficient as compared to wired charging. Such inefficiency can in turn worsen the adverse impacts that mobile phones already have on the environment. This paper addresses the energy inefficiency issue during wireless charging of mobile phones by comparing different charging practices in order to identify opportunities for energy savings.

“…The ICT has been predicted to produce 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) which causes global warming [2]. The carbon footprint of ICT which is depicted in Fig 1 consists of the utilization of 57% of personal computers, peripherals, and devices; 25% of telecoms infrastructure and devices; and 18% of data centres [3]. On the other hand, ICT is also expected to decrease CO2 emissions on a widespread by developing smart cities, transportation systems, and energy saving gains.…”

The increasing of ICT utilization brought the increasing of energy consumption which causes global emission. In fact, ICT utilization produces two percent of global emission of CO2. Most studies focus on reducing global emission of CO2 through energy-efficient software and hardware utilizations. However, how to improve energy-efficient programming skills for students has not been investigated well. To address this issue, this work proposes exploring computational thinking which is a teaching learning model adopted computer works. Computational thinking is applied in Fundamental programming subject for eight meetings. Energy-efficient programming skill of students is evaluated before and after the implementation of computational thinking. In addition, the instruments to evaluate energy-efficient programming skill is adapted from previous related work. Finally, statistical analysis reveals that computational thinking improves student's skill in energy-efficient programming.

Summary As the need in cyber infrastructure for electrical systems to realize the industry 4.0 revolution, this paper presents a configuration of two‐switch dual‐output voltage source inverter with integral sliding mode control (ISMC) and cyber twin approach to realize the performance of the system. The inverter has the capability of supplying two independent loads of equal voltage at the load end. The virtual model (cyber twin) is developed to realize the operation of the inverter (physical device) with a host system. The cyber‐physical test bench is developed to evaluate the performance of the physical model (inverter prototype) with cyber‐physical capabilities. The coupled computation of the virtual model and prototype model is executed to analyze the performance of the inverter.
