These days, homes include a variety of electrical devices that are important to families for accomplishing daily tasks. These devices are powered by electricity and in some cases, require a lot of power consumption. Home users must control these devices manually by switching them ON/OFF; this exposes them to potential electric shock and can give rise to other dangerous situations. This paper presents a new approach for creating an electrical system that makes it easy to control household domestic appliances via short message service from a smartphone device. In this manner, users can be provided with a relaxed and safe approach to using electrical devices. The result of this work, users can access to the home devices easily and interact with them without any problem of electrical shock and personal effort.

V diplomskem delu predstavimo idejo za izvajanje sprememb v naročniških razmerjih pri mobilnih operaterjih preko sporočil SMS. Pregledamo in predstavimo povzetek trenutno obstoječe slovenske zakonodaje in priporočil na področju elektronskega podpisa in elektronskega arhiviranja. Sledeč ugotovljenim priporočilom in zakonom izdelamo programsko rešitev za pretvorbo in hranjenje sporočil SMS, opišemo uporabljena programska orodja, posamezne korake pri izdelavi rešitve in postopke testiranja. Opišemo ključna področja in smernice, ki se jih moramo pri izdelavi programske rešitve držati. V zaključku podamo usmeritev, kako lahko idejo uporabimo v praksi in tekom razvoja ugotovljene izboljšave izdelane rešitve. Thesis describes the idea of changing customer mobile subscription via SMS messages. We review and present a summary of Slovenian legislation for digital signature and electronic archiving. Following identified recommendations and laws we prepare software solution for transformation and archiving of SMS messages, describe software tools we used, steps in creation of software solution and testing procedures. We describe key areas and guidelines that we need to follow during preparation of software solution, we conclude with giving directions to practical use of implemented idea and identified improvements of software solution.

Background: Sub-Saharan Africa is the region with the highest HIV burden. Adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in the age range of 15 to 24 years are twice as likely as their male peers to be infected, making females in sub-Saharan Africa the most at-risk group for HIV infection. It is therefore critical to prioritize access to HIV testing, prevention, and treatment for this vulnerable population. Objective: Using an implementation science framework, the purpose of this research protocol was to describe the approaches we propose to optimize engagement of AGYW in both the HIV prevention and care continuum and to determine the recruitment and testing strategies that identify the highest proportion of previously undiagnosed HIV infections. Methods: We will compare two seek recruitment strategies, three test strategies, and pilot adaptive linkage to care interventions (sequential multiple assignment randomized trial [SMART] design) among AGYW in the age range of 15 to 24 years in Homa Bay County, western Kenya. AGYW will be recruited in the home or community-based setting and offered three testing options: oral fluid HIV self-testing, staff-aided rapid HIV testing, or referral to a health care facility for standard HIV testing services. Newly diagnosed AGYW with HIV will be enrolled in the SMART trial pilot to determine the most effective way to support initial linkage to care after a positive diagnosis. They will be randomized to standard referral (counseling and a referral note) or standard referral plus SMS text message (short message service, SMS); those not linked to care within 2 weeks will be rerandomized to receive an additional SMS text message or a one-time financial incentive (approximately US $4). We will also evaluate a primary prevention messaging intervention to support identified high-risk HIV-negative AGYW to reduce their HIV risk and adhere to HIV retesting recommendations. We will also conduct analyses to determine the incremental cost-effectiveness of the seek, testing and linkage interventions. Results: We expect to enroll 1200 participants overall, with a random selection of 100 high-risk HIV-negative AGYW for the SMS prevention intervention (HIV-negative cohort) and approximately 108 AGYW who are living with HIV for the SMART design pilot of adaptive linkage to care interventions (HIV-positive cohort). We anticipate that the linkage to care interventions will be feasible and acceptable to implement. Lastly, the use of SMS text messages to engage participants will provide pilot data to the Kenyan government currently exploring a national platform to track and support linkage, adherence to treatment, retention, and prevention interventions for improved outcomes. Conclusions: Lessons learned will inform best approaches to identify new HIV diagnoses to increase AGYW’s uptake of HIV prevention, testing, and linkage to care services in a high HIV-burden African setting.
