Edge Technologies for Disaster Management: A Survey of Social Media and Artificial Intelligence Integration

Within the paradigm of smart cities, smart devices can be considered as a tool to enhance safety. Edge sensing, Internet of Things (IoT), big data, social media analytics, edge computing, and artificial intelligence are key technologies that can be applied through smart devices to create emergency-aware systems. The use of these technologies could make emergency management tasks such as visualizing, analyzing, and predicting disasters easier to perform. The aim of this paper is to conduct a review of recent activities in literature about disaster and emergency management, and showing the role of different edge technologies used in this regard, and through the different stages of dealing with a disaster situation. Special importance is given to two main technologies: Social media analytics and artificial intelligence, due to their exceptional impact on emergency situations. Social media represents a rich source of data while artificial intelligence stands out as the mechanism to deal with the huge amount of data generated by smart devices, and thus needed to tackle all sources of data, in order to predict, detect, manage information, and for authorities to respond to emergency situations. This survey is a comprehensive review for the recent literature on the related topics, providing the reader with a clear overview of the current status and classifying the papers into groups with relations among them. The structuring of the recent literature into four phases makes it easier for the reader to realize the current state of the art. For completeness, this survey ends with a section on open issues and research trends in disaster and emergency management systems.
Effect of Service Employees' Job Stresses on the Employees' Attitudes Through Emotional Labor Behavior

Employee management is crucial in the service industry, and efficient human resource management is essential because the competence and competitiveness of employees directly impact service quality. This study analyzes the impact of emotional labor and job stress faced by workers in the service industry on their intention to leave and be hired, and proposes strategies for employee retention. As a result of a study conducted on 200 service industry workers, it was confirmed that job autonomy and job culture have a quantitative interaction with emotional labor factors and a positive correlation with the intention to leave. Additionally, this study suggests that Employment the intention to hire and the intention to turnover as separate concepts, rather than conflicting, requires a separate study.
Feedback Modulation between Human INO80 Chromatin Remodeling Complex and miR-372 in HCT116 Cells

Human INO80 chromatin remodeling complex (INO80 complex) as a transcription cofactor is widely involved in gene transcription regulation and is frequently highly expressed in tumor cells. However, few reports exist on the mutual regulatory mechanism between INO80 complex and non-coding microRNAs. Herein, we showed evidence that the INO80 complex transcriptionally controls microRNA-372 (miR-372) expression through RNA-Seq analysis and a series of biological experiments. Knocking down multiple subunits in the INO80 complex, including the INO80 catalytic subunit, YY1, Ies2, and Arp8, can significantly increase the expression level of miR-372. Interestingly, mimicking miR-372 expression in HCT116 cells, in turn, post-transcriptionally suppressed INO80 and Arp8 expression at both mRNA and protein levels, indicating the existence of a mutual regulatory mechanism between the INO80 complex and miR-372. The target relationship between miR-372 and INO80 complex was verified using luciferase assays in HCT116 colon cancer cells. As expected, miR-372 mimics significantly suppressed the luciferase activity of pMIR-luc/INO80 and pMIR-luc/Arp8 3′-UTR in cells. In contrast, the miR-372 target sites in the 3′-UTRs linked to the luciferase reporter were mutagenized, and both mutant sites lost their response to miR-372. Furthermore, the mutual modulation between the INO80 complex and miR-372 was involved in cell proliferation and the p53/p21 signaling pathway, suggesting the synergistic anti-tumor role of the INO80 complex and miR372. Our results will provide a solid theoretical basis for exploring miR-372 as a biological marker of tumorigenesis.
Numerical Simulation of Electro-Thermal Properties in FDSOI MOSFETs Down to Deep Cryogenic Temperatures

An original reformulation of the thermopower S, heat conductivity K and heat capacitance C in bulk silicon for electrons and phonons is first proposed. Closed-form analytical approximations for these coefficients as a function of Fermi level, temperature and/or carrier concentration are developed for implementation in TCAD simulation. These analytical expressions for S, K and C have been employed to simulate the electro-thermal properties of a FDSOI (Fully depleted silicon on insulator) MOSFET versus front gate voltage from room down to very low temperature. The obtained results allow discriminating the electron and phonon contributions to the whole properties. These analyses could be very useful to further performing TCAD simulations of FDSOI MOSFETs down to very low temperature for full assessment of electro-thermal performances.
Random attractors for non-autonomousstochastic FitzHugh-Nagumo systems with multiplicative noise

In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of random attractors for the FitzHugh-Nagumo system defined on $\mathbb{R}^n$ driven by both deterministic non-autonomous forcing and multiplicative noise. The periodicity of random attractors is established when the system is perturbed by time periodic forcing. We also prove the upper semicontinuity of random attractors when the intensity of noise approaches zero.
Global adaptive regulation of feedforward nonlinear time‐delay systems by output feedback

The problem of global adaptive state regulation is investigated via output feedback for uncertain feedforward nonlinear time‐delay systems. Compared with existing results, our control schemes can be applicable to more general nonlinear time‐delay systems because of combining the low‐gain scaling approach with the backstepping method. In particular, we allow that there exist uncertain output function and uncertain growth rate imposed on nonlinear terms. Also, one considers a class of nonlinear systems with main‐axis delay. By the Lyapunov–Krasovskii theorem, delay‐independent controllers are proposed by constructing novel low‐gain observers driven by system input, to regulate the states of original system while all the closed‐loop signals are globally bounded. Furthermore, two examples are given to illustrate the usefulness of our results. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Understanding Differences Between Veterans and Civilians on a Range of Biopsychological Domains: Descriptive Report from the MIDUS II Study

A growing amount of literature has documented differences between United States (US) veterans of the armed services and civilians in mental and physical health outcomes. However, less is known about the correlates of these outcomes, and most studies have used samples of veterans receiving US Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA) healthcare only. Using a nationally recruited sample from the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) II study, we examined stress exposure, mental health symptoms, and common vulnerability factors (inflammation, trauma history, emotion regulation) across veterans and civilians. The present study included data from the baseline psychosocial timepoint (Project 1), the Milwaukee subsample ( n = 4,633), and the biomarker study (Project 4; n = 1,099). We found that veterans reported greater stressful and traumatic life events but fewer mental health symptoms compared to civilians. Further, analyses suggested some differences based on a history of combat or probability of using VA healthcare, with higher levels of depression among combat veterans and more head injury among those likely to use VA healthcare. Results suggest some variability in inflammatory markers but few differences in emotion regulation or health characteristics. The present study was limited by minimal available data on military service. Future research is needed on veterans outside of VA healthcare, with attention to characteristics such as the branch of service, rank, and unit cohesion. The goal of this line of research is to better understand factors that may be addressed in prevention and intervention efforts in service of best caring for those who have sacrificed for military service.
3D AND HBIM MODELS: DIGITAL TOOLS FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC STUDY OF THE STAIR TURRET OF THE SOUTH-EAST CORNER OF THE MAIN TOWER OF STRASBOURG CATHEDRAL

Abstract. During the construction of Strasbourg Cathedral, men aspired to see it radiate eternally. However, like any monument, it experiences structural weakening due to the effects of time, but also to the many external aggressions that damage the materials. Regular interventions therefore make it possible to preserve this building over time. It is in this context of conservation that the cathedral lives to the rhythm of a major restoration campaign since 2014. The objective of this project was to carry out a modeling and a BIM model of the stair turret in the south-east corner of the main tower built entirely of sandstone. This work was part of the preparatory phase of the restoration work on the south-east stair turret of the high tower scheduled for 2024–2025. The objective was to carry out a diagnosis of the turret (35 m high, 168 steps) with the help of a 3D and BIM model. This study could be understood as the beginning of a more global work of 3D representation extendable to the entire monument. In addition, in the spirit of gathering information and building knowledge base, it could be interesting to develop a complete BIM model of the entire building later.
Three-dimensional vorticity, momentum and heat transport in a turbulent cylinder wake

The transport of momentum and heat in the turbulent intermediate wake of a circular cylinder is inherently three-dimensional (3-D). This work aims to gain new insight into the 3-D vorticity structure, momentum and heat transport in this flow. All three components of the velocity and vorticity vectors, along with the fluctuating temperature, are measured simultaneously, at nominally the same point in the flow, with a probe consisting of four X-wires and four cold wires. Measurements are made in the ( $x$ , $y$ ) or mean shear plane at $x/d=10$ , 20 and 40 at a Reynolds number of $2.5\times 10^{3}$ based on the cylinder diameter $d$ and the free-stream velocity. A phase-averaging technique is developed to separate the large-scale coherent structures from the remainder of the flow. It is found that the effects of vorticity on heat transport at $x/d=10$ and $x/d=20{-}40$ are distinctly different. At $x/d=10$ , both spanwise and streamwise vorticity components account significantly for the heat flux. At $x/d=20$ and 40, the spanwise vortex rollers play a major role in inducing the coherent components of the heat flux vector, while the ribs are responsible for the small-scale heat diffusion out of the spanwise vortex rollers. The present data indicate that, if the spanwise-velocity-related terms are ignored, the estimated values of the production can have errors of approximately 22 % and 13 % respectively for the turbulent energy and temperature variance at $x/d=40$ , and the errors are expected to further increase downstream. A conceptual model summarizing the 3-D features of the heat and momentum transports at $x/d=10$ is proposed. Compared with the previous two-dimensional model of Matsumura & Antonia (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 250, 1993, pp. 651–668) or MA, the new model provides a more detailed description of the role the rib-like structures undertake in transporting heat and momentum, and also underlines the importance of the upstream half of the spanwise vortex rollers, instead of only one quadrant of these rollers, as in the MA model, in diffusing heat out of the vortex.
The Prevalence and Awareness of Dietary Supplement Use Among Saudi Women Visiting Fitness Centers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Background Dietary supplements are used for a variety of reasons, some of which are for medical conditions, to compensate for dietary insufficiency, to improve physical performance, and to boost immunity. Generally, individuals who visit sports facilities seek different benefits; it could be for health and well-being, to achieve the desired body shape, for enjoyment purposes, or as a way to socialize. To help achieve some of these goals, dietary supplements can be taken. Aims This study is designed to assess the prevalence and awareness of dietary supplement use among Saudi women who frequent fitness centers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in November 2021 among Saudi women who visited gyms in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The sample consisted of 355 participants, all of whom were women from Saudi Arabia. The statistical analysis was done using IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), Version 21.0 (Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.). Necessary statistical tests such as the chi-square, the t-test, and other appropriate tests were used. A p-value of less than 0.05 has been adopted for statistical significance. Results The majority of the 355 female participants consumed dietary supplements (68.7%). The most commonly used supplements were vitamins (82.8%), amino acids and proteins (30.3%), minerals (22.1%), and fatty acids (3.3%). In the study group, 53.3% of those who were using or used supplements had previous knowledge; 13.1% were up-to-date; and 33.6% weren’t. No relationship was found between supplement use and educational level, weight, body mass index (BMI), or marital status. Conclusion Dietary supplement use is common among women who visited gyms in Saudi Arabia. Vitamins were the most commonly used supplements, which suggests that users were more concerned about general health and diet deficiencies than anything else. The participants use dietary supplements cautiously; the majority consume dietary supplements under a doctor’s prescription and after reading the leaflets.
Psychiatric Morbidity Among Dermatological Patients Attending a Tertiary Care Hospital in Central India

Background: Aim of the study was to estimate prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress among a large sample of out patients, affected with wider variety of skin problems and also to investigate its association with socio demographic and clinical characteristics so as to recommend for interventions to improve quality of care, in patients attending dermatology OPD. Material and Methods: Present hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 patients attending the dermatology OPD. Frequency, Percentage, Odds ratio (OR) were calculated. Chi square test and Logistic regression was applied. P value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: Average age of the participants was 35.5±9.4 years. In the present study 29.67% patients were having at least one of the psychiatric morbidities. Among all the patients 28.7% were having the anxiety; 17.33% were having depression; 9.7% were having the stress. In multivariate analysis Females were observed to have higher risk for anxiety; depression and stress i.e. [OR: 7.54; 95% CI: 3.22-17.63]; [OR: 3.05; 95% CI: 1.75-5.34]; [OR: 14.61; 95% CI: 3.35-63.65] respectively. Conclusion: Female’s gender; itching problem and dermatitis need a special concern to reduce the psychiatric morbidity. The high prevalence indicates the need for the psycho-social care of the dermatology patients.
Rural Women’s Participation and their Decision Making Behavior in Livestock Management and Household Activities in Central Dry Zone Area of Myanmar

The study aimed to assess the factors affecting on women’s participation level and decision-making behavior of rural women in livestock management and household activities in particularly 60 randomized respondents from three villages of Natmauk township, central dry zone area, Myanmar. Descriptive analysis, Chi-Square test and stepwise regression methods were applied to analyze the relationship of women’s participation and decision-making behavior of respondents. Results of the KII and FGD were used to further explains in survey. Respondents are middle-aged group, small-sized farmers, busy with domestic chores and had no formal schooling. They mostly grow sesame, groundnut and other tropical crops and rear small sizes of adult cattle males in the study. Men are chief decision makers in their households because they have access to more resources. Ownership of land and access to information is highly affected on decision making of when to buy/sell livestock, what to feed and when medical treatment of livestock. Information got especially from friends, family and traders are helpful in the decision making of buying/selling livestock, spending money earned from livestock and feeding the food for the livestock. Spearman’s rho correlation was used to identify and streamline women’s activities that need to be focused on so that to make good decisions in livestock farming.
Numerical dynamic characterisation of concrete bridge stays

Following the recent collapse of a cable‐stayed bridge in Genoa, Italy, an interest has arisen to understand if it would have been possible for unknown localised material deterioration and/or decrease in prestress levels to introduce noticeable changes in the dynamic behaviour of RC stays. As such, in this study we start by reviewing past research work, experimental and analytical, on the effects that prestress level may or may not have on the dynamic response of RC beam elements. We then review also available analytical formulations used to determine the natural frequency of vibration of prestressed beams, and, subsequently, complete the preliminary investigation on the effects of prestress levels, and local damage, through the analysis of finite element models of prestressed beams and stays. The comparison of analytical and numerical estimations with results obtained from an in‐situ dynamic characterisation campaign on a RC bridge stay is also undertaken. In the second part of the study, we explicitly consider the Morandi bridge case‐study, for which finite element models of the stays alone, as well as of the full bridge, are developed and analysed. The obtained results are then also compared with the observations made in pre‐collapse in situ dynamic characterisation endeavours. All results obtained and discussed lead to the conclusion that, most regrettably, dynamic characterisation endeavours do not have the capability of providing insight on possible localised material deterioration or partial reduction of the average state of compression in this type of structural elements.
THE PERCEPTION OF CAUSALITY: INSIGHTS FROM MICHOTTE'S LAUNCHING EFFECT, NAÏVE IMPETUS THEORY, AND REPRESENTATIONAL MOMENTUM

A convergence of findings regarding Michotte’s launching effect (the attribution that a moving object that contacts an initially stationary target is responsible for the subsequent movement of that target), naive impetus theory (the theory that setting a previously stationary object into motion involves imparting to that object an impetus that then dissipates), and representational momentum (a forward displacement in the remembered location of a moving target) suggests observers do not perceive causality. Studies of the representational momentum of targets in launching effect displays and in several control conditions suggest forward displacement is decreased if target motion is attributable to an impetus imparted from another stimulus. This decrease occurs because observers expect motion of a launched target to stop when impetus drops below the level needed to maintain motion, and forward displacement is decreased when observers expect a target to stop. Impetus does not correspond to a valid physical principle, and so any role for impetus in the launching effect suggests observers do not perceive causality.
Student’s Numeracy on Solving Data and Uncertainty Problems in Term of Self-Efficacy

Numeraticy is the ability to analyze, interpret information, and find a solution by involving one's mathematical knowledge. Numeracy is known to be influenced by self-efficacy. This study aims to describe students' numeracy in solving data and uncertainty problems in terms of high and low self-efficacy. This study is descriptive research with a qualitative approach was carried out by collecting data from research subjects purposively consisting of three students with high self-efficacy and three students with low self-efficacy. The instruments used included a self-efficacy questionnaire, three data and uncertainty questions, and an interview guide. The data is then analyzed using the numeracy’s sub-indicators. The results showed that in general the numeracy of the group of students with high self-efficacy in solving questions containing data problems and uncertainties was better than the group of students with low self-efficacy. Based on these significant differences, it is recommended for teachers to create a learning climate that can support increased student self-efficacy and numeracy. As well as from the results of the interviews which only focused on parts that were not clear from the student's answers, future researchers should conduct interviews on all of the student’s numeracy in order to obtain more complete research data.
Acceptance and Refusal Rates for Stem Cell Transplantation and Donation among Saudi Females

Background: The major obstacle to stem cell transplantation (SCT) therapy is finding a matching family donor. In Saudi Arabia, 60% of pediatrics and 30% of adult patients cannot find a matching donor in their family. Little evidence has been published worldwide to assess women’s acceptance of SCT, and so this research analyzed awareness of SCT and the acceptance and refusal rates for stem cell donation among Saudi females. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with females living in Saudi Arabia. Voluntary questionnaires of 20 multiple-choice questions consisting of demographics, knowledge, and acceptance and refusal rates for SCT and donation were randomly distributed across social media platforms. Results: A total of 474 ‎participants completed the questionnaire. Participants showed low levels of basic knowledge regarding SCT: 20.9% gave the correct answer for stem cell sources, 27.6% were aware of SCT centers, and 36.9% were aware of the possible factors affecting the success of SCT. A low percentage (1.3%) of respondents were registered at the Saudi Stem Cell Donor Registry (SSCDR). The internet and social media, in particular, were the major sources of knowledge for half the participants. Interestingly, even though some participants expressed concerns, three-quarters stated their acceptance of SCT and donation, especially if there is a need. Conclusion: The females’ lack of knowledge about SCT and concerns about stem cell donation may contribute to the shortage of donor availability, suggesting a need to increase the level of awareness and motivation, particularly via health professionals.
