Television message of programmes and publicity addressed to children: approach to the quality of its content

The present reflections comprises the work that nowadays develops an investigation group that tries to design an instrument that allows to mesure the quality of television audio-visual messages addressed to children (between 4-12 years). The information that follows is the result of a research that was made by this group from October 2003 since October 2004. And continues until 2007. Therefore their results have to be considered as partial. For the analysis of the content of the messages (advertisements some of them, others from programmes) were selected two weeks of programmes: one during non-holiday period (last week of May) and another one corresponding to the holiday period (third week of Desember 2003). Concerning to the supports, open emission and national covering channels were chosen, such as: TVE 1, TVE 2, Antena 3 and Tele 5. Holiday periods which may change the common programmes were considered as well. We should also point that when the program was emitted between Monday and Friday, two chapters or episodes were analyzed; when it was emitted during the weekend, all of them were analyzed. The same process was followed with the advertisements which were included in the selected programmes. Summing up, the analysis gathered 241 contents corresponding to programmes and 1.150 to advertisements. According to the objectives, the study is based on a general one-the analysis and the evaluation of the audio-visual contents quality-, and two specific ones: the first one is centered in the description of the offer and the consume of children programmes; the second one looks for the configuration of a quality measurement system of the audio-visual contents addressed to children. Our work will deal with this last one. The programmes and advertisements have been subjected to the analysis of 24 variables that can be combined or put together in the following ways: «main teaching from the messages», «interactivity level», «presence or not of physical, verbal and genus violence«, «prosocial behaviour», «asocial behaviour», «language (oral expression, grammatical constructions, offensive words and vocabulary) and «sexual contents». The study has allowed us to show the importance of these variables in television messages for children, as well as to state similarities and differences between children publicity and programmes.
Welcome AboARd! Evaluating Augmented Reality as a Skipper’s Navigator

Augmented Reality (AR) technology has been widely investigated to support various navigation tasks, including initial approaches that suggest its potential use on ships. For maritime navigation, skippers use a variety of information displayed on a ship’s bridge. However, the constant shift of focus between this information and the outside view of the ship might pose cognitive as well as safety challenges. Here, AR could facilitate the navigation of ships by overlaying the real-world view with spatially anchored visual navigation aids. Despite this potential, previous work mainly presents conceptual approaches, technical tests, or user studies performed in ship simulators only.In this paper, we evaluate an AR-based assistance system in the actual real-world water environment, where technical issues and varying physical conditions could influence the system’s usability. In collaboration with hydrographic experts following a user-centered design approach, a functional AR system was developed that virtually displays navigation aids on the water surface. In a field study, ten skippers used the system to navigate a ship along a path through a port area. We assessed the accuracy, perceived workload, and user experience of participants. In addition, qualitative feedback was thematically analyzed to retrieve insights about the skippers’ attitude regarding using AR on actual ships. We report lessons learned about aspects such as ergonomics, perceived safety challenges, as well as envisioned further use cases and extended data integration.
MOKSLAS – LIETUVOS ATEITIS SCIENCE – FUTURE OF LITHUANIA

With the rapid advances in technology of mobile devices, their application areas expand continuously as well. Given the growth of the market share for mobile devices, one of the main issues that arise is the need for new and convenient techniques for data input and output suitable for various settings. Tilt-based text input is one of the alternatives that attract attention of current researchers. This study investigates the potential of using tilt-based interaction to enter text while sitting as a passenger in a moving vehicle. In addition, the investigation focused on the characteristics of the road as well as driving conditions that affect tilt-based text input. The study manipulated the following factors: keyboard size 10×4 and road unevenness (small, moderate, and large). 14 participants, aged 25 to 50, took part in the user study. The best performance and the shortest task completion time equal to 24.5 seconds was observed when the vehicle was moving at a constant speed on a straight road with small unevenness. The task completion time increased by 15% in moderate unevenness road and by almost 20 % in large unevenness road. Error rate and movement efficiency were investigated additionally in order to find out the cause of such times.
Development and validation of a risk prediction model for medication administration errors among neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit: a study protocol

Introduction Medication administration errors (MAEs) are the most common type of medication error. Furthermore, they are more common among neonates as compared with adults. MAEs can result in severe patient harm, subsequently causing a significant economic burden to the healthcare system. Targeting and prioritising neonates at high risk of MAEs is crucial in reducing MAEs. To the best of our knowledge, there is no predictive risk score available for the identification of neonates at risk of MAEs. Therefore, this study aims to develop and validate a risk prediction model to identify neonates at risk of MAEs. Methods and analysis This is a prospective direct observational study that will be conducted in five neonatal intensive care units. A minimum sample size of 820 drug preparations and administrations will be observed. Data including patient characteristics, drug preparation-related and administration-related information and other procedures will be recorded. After each round of observation, the observers will compare his/her observations with the prescriber’s medication order, hospital policies and manufacturer’s recommendations to determine whether MAE has occurred. To ensure reliability, the error identification will be independently performed by two clinical pharmacists after the completion of data collection for all study sites. Any disagreements will be discussed with the research team for consensus. To reduce overfitting and improve the quality of risk predictions, we have prespecified a priori the analytical plan, that is, prespecifying the candidate predictor variables, handling missing data and validation of the developed model. The model’s performance will also be assessed. Finally, various modes of presentation formats such as a simplified scoring tool or web-based electronic risk calculators will be considered.
UCB Strategy for Batch Data Processing: Estimation of Variances at the Initial Stage

We develop the UCB strategy for the two-armed bandit problem. When a player chooses an arm, he receives a one-step random income. But the player does not know which of the arms is more profitable. To solve this problem, we use the UCB strategy which is applied in two stages. The first stage is a collection of statistical data. At the second stage, the choice of the arms is based on the upper confidence bounds (UCB) of the estimates of one-step expected incomes. We study the case when variances are unknown. Like the mathematical expectations, the variances can be evaluated throughout the control. However, we propose to estimate variances only at the stage of statistics collection, which significantly reduces the calculation time. This problem is considered in application to batch data processing and demonstrates several aspects of the redundancy. First, suppose that parallel data processing can be performed. Then, compared to strategies that process data one by one, the batch data processing allows significantly to reduce the total processing time almost without additional loss. Second, according to the central limit theorem, the total incomes in batches are close to Gaussian and, hence, control strategies do not to depend on onestep income distribution. Third, concerning considered case, it is sufficient to estimate variances only at the initial stage of the control (statistics collection) and it is not necessary to recalculate them during the whole control process. Monte Carlo simulations show the high quality of the control using the proposed strategy.
Plastic debris as nesting materials of endangered species Black-faced Spoonbill (Platalea minor) in South Korea

Disturbance on marine wildlife is one of the serious negative impacts of marine debris. In this study, the ratio of Black-faced Spoonbills" nests that includes plastic marine debris was surveyed in an islet. The ratio of Black-faced Spoonbills’ nests containing plastic marine debris decreased from 71% in 2011 to 37% in 2011 after natural materials were provided. The total number of nests increased from 28 in 2010 to 38 in 2011. We need to pay more conservation efforts to prevent further negative impacts.
RealTHASC - a cyber-physical XR testbed for AI-supported real-time human autonomous systems collaborations

Today’s research on human-robot teaming requires the ability to test artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for perception and decision-making in complex real-world environments. Field experiments, also referred to as experiments “in the wild,” do not provide the level of detailed ground truth necessary for thorough performance comparisons and validation. Experiments on pre-recorded real-world data sets are also significantly limited in their usefulness because they do not allow researchers to test the effectiveness of active robot perception and control or decision strategies in the loop. Additionally, research on large human-robot teams requires tests and experiments that are too costly even for the industry and may result in considerable time losses when experiments go awry. The novel Real-Time Human Autonomous Systems Collaborations (RealTHASC) facility at Cornell University interfaces real and virtual robots and humans with photorealistic simulated environments by implementing new concepts for the seamless integration of wearable sensors, motion capture, physics-based simulations, robot hardware and virtual reality (VR). The result is an extended reality (XR) testbed by which real robots and humans in the laboratory are able to experience virtual worlds, inclusive of virtual agents, through real-time visual feedback and interaction. VR body tracking by DeepMotion is employed in conjunction with the OptiTrack motion capture system to transfer every human subject and robot in the real physical laboratory space into a synthetic virtual environment, thereby constructing corresponding human/robot avatars that not only mimic the behaviors of the real agents but also experience the virtual world through virtual sensors and transmit the sensor data back to the real human/robot agent, all in real time. New cross-domain synthetic environments are created in RealTHASC using Unreal Engine™, bridging the simulation-to-reality gap and allowing for the inclusion of underwater/ground/aerial autonomous vehicles, each equipped with a multi-modal sensor suite. The experimental capabilities offered by RealTHASC are demonstrated through three case studies showcasing mixed real/virtual human/robot interactions in diverse domains, leveraging and complementing the benefits of experimentation in simulation and in the real world.

Additions to Knowledge of the Early Pleistocene Wallaby, Baringa nelsonensis Flannery and Hann 1984 (Marsupialia: Macropodinae)

Following the recovery of more specimens of the extinct wallaby, Baringa nelsonensis, from early Pleistocene deposits at Nelson Bay, near Portland, Victoria, dental elements that were previously unknown, or only tentatively associated with Baringa at the time of its establishment, are described here. Specimens from the early Pliocene Curramulka Local Fauna, Yorke Peninsula, South Australia, previously allied with Baringa, are re-examined, and it is concluded that they do not belong to this genus. Baringa is an intermediate browser-grazer, but the relatively enlarged I and characteristic vertical wear facet on I suggest an unusual feeding specialisation.
Article title: Delineating the tissue-mediated drought stress governed tuning of conserved miR408 and its targets in rice

MicroRNAs act as the cardinal post-transcriptional monitors of gene regulatory networks sculpturing the developmental plasticity and stress responses in plants. Single miRNA target several genes and how the transcriptional regulation of miRNA impacts its pool of targets in different tissues and stress conditions is still elusive. The present study investigated the highly conserved and evolving MIR408 family comprehensively by redefining its evolutionary conservation and diversification in plants followed by detailed functional analysis in rice. MIR408 family comprises three dominant mature forms (21 nt) including a distinct monocot variant. Plant MIR408 family can be divided into six groups. miR408 majorly cleave genes belonging to blue copper protein in addition to several other speciesspecific targets in plants. Screening of 4726 rice accessions identified 22 sequence variants in 1 Kb upstream (15) and MIR408 region leading to the identification of 8 haplotypes (3: Japonica-specific and 5: Indica-specific). miR408-3p follows flag leaf preferential and drought upregulated expression profile in flag leaf and roots of N22 which seems to be regulated by differential fraction of mCs in the precursor region. The active pool of miR408 regulated targets under control and drought conditions is impacted by the tissue type.

Twelve high confidence targets including 4 plantacyanins (OsUCL6, 7, 9 and 30), pirin, OsLPR1, OsCHUP1, OsDOF12, OsBGLU1, glycine rich cell wall, deoxyuridine 5-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolaseand OsERF7 with antagonistic expression under most conditions. Further, over-expression of osaMIR408 in drought sensitive rice cultivar leads to the massive enhancement of vegetative growth in rice with improved ETR and Y(II) and enhanced the dehydration stress tolerance at seedling stage.
Pulmonary Hypertension in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: A Target of Phosphodiesterase-5 Inhibition in a 1-Year Study

Background— The prevalence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is increasing. The prognosis worsens with pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular (RV) failure development. We targeted pulmonary hypertension and RV burden with the phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor sildenafil. Methods and Results— Forty-four patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (heart failure signs and symptoms, diastolic dysfunction, ejection fraction ≥50%, and pulmonary artery systolic pressure >40 mm Hg) were randomly assigned to placebo or sildenafil (50 mg thrice per day). At 6 months, there was no improvement with placebo, but sildenafil mediated significant improvements in mean pulmonary artery pressure (−42.0±13.0%) and RV function, as suggested by leftward shift of the RV Frank-Starling relationship, increased tricuspid annular systolic excursion (+69.0±19.0%) and ejection rate (+17.0±8.3%), and reduced right atrial pressure (−54.0±7.2%). These effects may have resulted from changes within the lung (reduced lung water content and improved alveolar-capillary gas conductance, +15.8±4.5%), the pulmonary vasculature (arteriolar resistance, −71.0±8.2%), and left-sided cardiac function (wedge pulmonary pressure, −15.7±3.1%; cardiac index, +6.0±0.9%; deceleration time, −13.0±1.9%; isovolumic relaxation time, −14.0±1.7%; septal mitral annulus velocity, −76.4±9.2%). Results were similar at 12 months. Conclusions— The multifaceted response to phosphodiesterase-5 inhibition in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction includes improvement in pulmonary pressure and vasomotility, RV function and dimension, left ventricular relaxation and distensibility (structural changes and/or ventricular interdependence), and lung interstitial water metabolism (wedge pulmonary pressure decrease improving hydrostatic balance and right atrial pressure reduction facilitating lung lymphatic drainage). These results enhance our understanding of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and offer new directions for therapy. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials. gov.

Hydrogeophysical evidence for ground water mixing at Freeling Spring Group, South Australia

The Great Artesian Basin (GAB) is an aquifer system that extends across Australia covering over 22% of the continent and is a vital support system for ecosystems in the region. As part of the Australian National Water Commission’s (NWC) GAB Project, research is being conducted to understand the aquifer including studying the discharge of springs and determining flow paths of the aquifer. Water sampling at springs that are a part of the Freeling Spring Group were used along with Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI) data to evaluate evidence of mixing between the GAB aquifer and waters from the adjacent basement aquifer in the Peake and Dennison Ranges (PD). Nine springs were used to evaluate fluid chemistry of the Freeling Spring Group. ERI data were collected along three orientations over the Freeling Spring site. The ERI data, which extend for 550 meters laterally and 110 meters vertically, indicate three possible flow lines providing mixing at the spring orifice similar to what would be predicted from traditional conceptual models. Regional water samples of springs were used as end members to evaluate chemical mixing models for waters at the site. The chemistry of spring water samples indicates that the water emanating from the Freeling Spring Group is a mixture of waters from both the GAB and the PD, which confirms the ERI evidence for mixing at the site. The data suggest the mixing occurs along a structural feature in the Peake and Dennison Ranges and that the spring water maintains a strong PD signature even well east of the fault zone.
Phytochemical Composition and Antioxidant Analysis of Selected Agricultural Wastes as Potential Livestock Feed Ingredients

This study was carried out to analyse the proximate, phytochemical composition and antioxidant activity of three agricultural wastes (Melon husk, moringa pod and mango endocarp). The proximate parameters of the samples were determined using the standard analytical method of Association of Official Analytical Chemists. The antioxidant activity was determined by the radical scavenging activity of the methanol extract of samples against DPPH (Sigma Aldrich) by UV-Visible Spectrophotometer at 517 nm. The results revealed that the three samples are high in crude fibre: 51.61% (melon seed husk), 58.10% (moringa pod) and 49.47% (mango endocarp). The crude protein content of the samples ranged from 3.45% to 12.22%. The mineral analysis showed that melon seed husk contains; Ca (14.94 mg/kg), Mg (52.26 mg/kg), Fe (21.2mg/kg), P (106.7 mg/kg), Zn (0.70 mg/kg); moringa pod contains Ca (243.95 mg/kg), Mg (61.44 mg/kg), Fe (3.60 mg/kg), P (33.75 mg/kg), Zn (0.35 mg/kg); mango endocarp; Ca(6.14 mg/kg), Mg (13.00 mg/kg), P (24.25 mg/kg), Zn (0.17 mg/kg). Phytochemical screening of the three samples showed small amount of antinutrient like saponin, oxalate, flavonoid etc. The results obtained from this study indicate that the agricultural wastes may serve as energy and mineral supplier and thus may be utilized as a potential feed ingredient in livestock feed, coupled with their low antinutrient content.
Renewable Energy Sources Optimization for Electric Vehicles' Charging Stations

As we advance into the coming decades, renewable energy sources, particularly photovoltaic and wind power, are poised to become dominant players in our energy landscape. The annual expansion of these energy infrastructures is imperative. Concurrently, integrating electricity storage solutions is paramount to maintaining the robustness and stability of the electricity grid. Electric vehicles, expected to be a cornerstone in this evolution, will substantially leverage this renewable infrastructure. This paper introduces an innovative optimization model specifically designed to harness energy from photovoltaic plants for charging EVs. The model uses two electric car charging approaches: priority and non-priority. These categorizations are formulated considering the dual objectives of catering to user demands and ensuring the seamless functioning of the electricity grid.
Rip Current Prediction System for Swimmer Safety: Towards Operational Forecasting Using a Process Based Model and Nearshore Bathymetry from Video

Rip currents are among the most dangerous coastal hazards for the bathing public, and contribute to the highest portion of beach rescues all over the world. In order to help life guards in planning and preparing rescue resources so as to minimize casualties, information about where and when rip currents may occur is needed. This can be provided by a predictive tool which combines meteorological forecasts, hydrodynamic models and remote-sensed observations. In this thesis, a methodology with which rip current forecasts for swimmer safety can be provided is developed and tested for Egmond aan Zee beach in the Netherlands. The approach is to make use of the numerical model system CoSMoS combined with daily estimates of nearshore-scale bathymetry obtained from a system called cBathy, which infers depths by estimating wave celerities from video imaging. Moreover, in order to gain more knowledge on occurrences of rips at Egmond, a numerical study on the kinematics of rip currents and the safety implications for swimmers is also presented. Coupling the video bathymetry estimates with CoSMoS in forecast mode shows that dangerous rips were correctly predicted. This thesis demonstrates the potential application of the proposed system in providing forecasts for rip currents at Egmond aan Zee.
