Theorizing Interpersonal and Technological Dimensions of Privacy in the Exchange of Sexual Communication
Authors: Coduto Kathryn D.
Published: May 2024

As technology continues to evolve, so too do privacy concerns individuals have about technology. This is especially true when individuals share highly sensitive, personal content through technology. When individuals sext, they are sharing sexually explicit messages, photos, and videos with another person. Two theories are interrogated in how they may apply to sexting and privacy: communication privacy management theory and privacy calculus. Utilizing these theories, privacy is highlighted in this article as a negotiation process between partners and technologies. Individuals must consider who they share material with and the channels they use, and these theories can help in developing a better understanding of these processes. Sexting can be a positive influence on adults’ romantic relationships, whether serious or casual; yet, they need to be able to engage in these behaviors in ways that encourage trust both interpersonally and with their technology.

Authors: Li Linfeng , Liu Yang , Luo Wensi , Jiang Xin
Published: May 2024

Rural entrepreneurship has injected new vitality into the comprehensive realization of rural revitalization, and exploring the impact of urban innovation and development on rural entrepreneurship is of great significance in promoting the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside and achieving the coordinated development of urban and rural areas. This paper utilizes the panel data of 284 cities in China from 2005 to 2020 and adopts the multi-period double-difference method to test the effect of innovative city pilots on the entrepreneurial level of new agricultural management subjects, so as to reflect the impact of innovation policy on rural entrepreneurship. The study finds that innovative city construction significantly improves the entrepreneurship level of new agricultural business subjects and that the policy effect continues to increase over time, which is still robust after considering endogeneity issues. The above effects are mainly achieved through improving scientific and technological inputs, enhancing credit support effects, and promoting scientific and technological progress. In the heterogeneity test, innovative city construction significantly promotes the entrepreneurship level of new agricultural business subjects in both small and medium-sized cities and cities with a high level of science and education, but significantly inhibits the entrepreneurship level of new agricultural management subjects in large cities and cities with a high level of science and education. At the same time, innovative city development promotes higher levels of entrepreneurship only in agricultural cooperatives and agribusinesses, with no significant effect on family farms. This study has important policy references for accelerating innovative city construction and rural revitalization development in China in the new era.

Published: May 2024

Although crop residue returns are extensively practiced in agriculture, large uncertainties remain about greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and global warming potential (GWP) responses to residue return (RR) rates under different residue placements and nutrient supplements. We conducted a laboratory mesocosm experiment in Alfisol in central India to investigate the responses of soil GHG emissions (CO2, N2O, and CH4) and the global warming potential to four wheat RR rates (R0: no residue; R5: 5 Mg/ha; R10: 10 Mg/ha; R15: 15 Mg/ha) and two placements (surface [Rsur] and incorporated [Rinc]) under three nutrient supplement levels (NSLs) (NS0: no nutrients, NS1: nutrients (N and P) added to balance the stoichiometry of C:N:P to achieve 30% humification in RR at 5 t/ha, NS2: 3 × NS1). The results demonstrated a significant (p < 0.05) interaction effect of RR × NSL × residue placement on N2O emission. However, CH4 and GWP responses to the RR rate were independent of NSL. N2O fluxes ranged from −2.3 µg N2O-N kg−1 soil (R5 NS0 Rsur) to 43.8 µg N2O-N kg−1 soil (R10 NS2 Rinc). A non-linear quadratic model yielded the best fit for N2O emissions with RR rate (R2 ranging from 0.55 to 0.99) in all NSLs and residue placements. Co-applying wheat residue at 10 and 15 Mg/ha at NS1 reduced CH4 and N2O emissions (cf. R0 at NS1). However, increasing NSLs in NS2 reduced the nutrient stoichiometry to < 12:1 (C:N) and < 50:1 (C:P), which increased N2O emissions in all RR rates (cf. R0) across all residue placements. Averaged across nutrient levels and residue placements, the order of the effects of RR rates on CH4 emissions (µg C kg−1 soil) was R10 (5.5) > R5 (3.8) > R15 (2.6) > R0 (1.6). Our results demonstrated a significant linear response of total GWP to RR rates R15 > R10 > R5 > R0, ranging from 201.4 to 1563.6 mg CO2 eq kg−1 soil. In conclusion, quadratic/linear responses of GHGs to RR rates underscore the need to optimize RR rates with nutrient supplements and residue placement to reduce GHG emissions and GWP while ensuring optimal soil health and crop productivity.

Published: May 2024

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the prevalence of and complications resulting from temporal bone fractures in adult and pediatric patients evaluated for cranio-facial trauma in an emergency setting. Methods: A retrospective blinded analysis of CT scans of a series of 294 consecutive adult and pediatric patients with cranio-facial trauma investigated in the emergency setting was conducted. Findings were compared between the two populations. Preliminary reports made by on-call residents were compared with the retrospective analysis, which was performed in consensus by two experienced readers and served as reference standard. Results: CT revealed 126 fractures in 116/294 (39.5%) patients, although fractures were clinically suspected only in 70/294 (23.8%); p < 0.05. Fractures were longitudinal, transverse and mixed in 69.5%, 10.3% and 19.8% of cases, respectively. Most fractures were otic-sparing fractures (95.2%). Involvement of the external auditory canal, ossicular chain and the osseous structures surrounding the facial nerve was present in 72.2%, 8.7% and 6.3% of cases, respectively. Temporal bone fractures extended into the venous sinuses/jugular foramen and carotid canal in 18.3% and 17.5% of cases, respectively. Vascular injuries (carotid dissection and venous thrombosis) were more common in children than in adults (13.6% versus 5.3%); however, the observed difference did not reach statistical significance. 79.5% of patients with temporal bone fractures had both brain injuries and fractures of the facial bones and cranial vault. Brain injuries were more common in adults (90.4%) than in children (63.6%), p = 0.001. Although on-call residents reliably detected temporal bone fractures (sensitivity = 92.8%), they often missed trauma-associated ossicular dislocation (sensitivity = 27.3%). Conclusions: Temporal bone fractures and related complications are common in patients with cranio-facial trauma and need to be thoroughly looked for; the pattern of associated injuries is slightly different in children and in adults.
Gravitating Scalarons with Inverted Higgs Potential
Authors: Chew Xiao Yan , Lim Kok-Geng
Published: May 2024

Previously, a class of regular and asymptotically flat gravitating scalar solitons (scalarons) has been constructed in the Einstein–Klein–Gordon (EKG) theory by adopting a phantom field with Higgs-like potential where the kinetic term has the wrong sign and the scalaron possesses the negative Arnowitt–Deser–Misner (ADM) mass as a consequence. In this paper, we demonstrate that the use of the phantom field can be avoided by inverting the Higgs-like potential in the EKG system when the kinetic term has a proper sign, such that the corresponding gravitating scalaron can possess the positive ADM mass. We systematically study the basic properties of the gravitating scalaron, such as the ADM mass, the energy conditions, the geodesics of test particles, etc. Moreover, we find that it can be smoothly connected to the counterpart hairy black hole solutions from our recent work in the small horizon limit.

Meeting the Energy Needs of Poultry Houses with Wind Turbine System under Tekirdağ Conditions and Its Environmental Effects
Authors: Türkboyları Elif , Yüksel Ahmet Nedim
Published: May 2024

Türkiye has a favorable geographical location for renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. Accordingly, renewable energy sources can be used in the fast-growing bovine, ovine, and poultry farms that perform plant and animal production. Marmara Region is the leading production center of the Turkish poultry production industry. However, there are problems in maintaining environmental conditions in poultry houses. The fan-pad system plays an essential role in maintaining environmental conditions in the poultry houses. For this reason, the fan-pad system required for evaporative cooling in the poultry houses in Tekirdağ region was designed. The project was carried out in poultry houses with 6000 chickens and the dimension of the poultry house is 14 x 30 (420 m2). In the poultry house, a 16.8 m2 pad is needed for cooling, and a circulation pump with 0.2 kWh power is required for water circulation in the system. For mechanical ventilation, 11 units of aspirators with a diameter of 60 cm a power of 0.75 kWh, and a flow rate of 9500 m3h-1 will be sufficient for the system. For the ventilation and cooling system, an 8.45 kWh wind turbine system will supply the required energy. However, due to the variability of wind power, a turbine system larger than 8.45 kWh, such as 10 kWh, should be used. The cost of the cooling system planned with the wind turbine energy system reaches 35953 $. The use of wind turbine systems to generate electricity in agriculture will significantly reduce CO2 emissions to nature. In Tekirdağ conditions, 18250 kWh of electricity can be produced annually with a 10-kWh wind turbine system. With eco-friendly energy generation, it can play a major role in preventing climate change by avoiding the emission of 17155 kg of CO2 which is equivalent to the annual electricity production.

Published: May 2024

This paper presents a compact class-AB Power Amplifier Module (PAM) designed for new generation massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MiMo) cellular base stations. The module is designed at the center frequency of 3.5GHz targeting Long Term Evolution (LTE) and 5G New Radio (NR) bands. The module is a hybrid design that incorporates a Gallium Nitride (GaN) High Mobility-Electron Transistor (HEMT) die, discrete components-based input, and output matching networks. The entire design is realized on an 8.5 x 5.2 mm, 2-layer Rogers4003C substrate. The module is assembled on a PCB as an open-top for post-characterization tuning. The small signal and large signal measurements are in quite good agreement. The measurement results show that the amplifier is unconditionally stable, the input return loss is 12.2 dB, the output return loss is 7.7 dB, and the small signal gain is 13.4 dB. The saturated output power is 33.3 dBm with a Power Added Efficiency of 20.1%. The small signal gain drops to 11.2 dB at around 22 dBm of input power due to GaN technology’s intrinsic soft compression characteristics.

Published: May 2024

The core equipment of rice dry direct-seeding with film mulching devices shows poor adaptability to rice varieties, struggling to accommodate diverse seeding quantity for both hybrid and conventional rice varieties. A seed-filling component with unilateral and bilateral seed-filling function was designed to solve this challenge. Through theoretical analysis the key structural parameters of the seed-filling component were determined. Then Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations were conducted to analyze the seeding performance, leading to the identification of optimal parameters for orifice width and orifice deflection angle of the seed-filling component, which are 7.7 to 8.5 mm and 1.71 to 2.41 degrees, respectively. Bench experiments using the central composite design indicates that the optimal parameters for the seed-filling component's orifice width and orifice deflection angle are 8.1 mm and 1.99 degrees, respectively. In the optimal combination of orifice parameters, for unilateral seed-filling in hybrid rice, the miss-seeding rate is 4%, the qualified rate is 84.8%, and the reseeding rate is 11.2%. For bilateral seed-filling in conventional rice, the miss-seeding rate is 4.2%, the qualified rate is 85.2%, and the reseeding rate is 10.6%. The result of field hole-seeding with film mulching is consistent with the result of indoor bench experiments, demonstrating that the seed-filling component of the hole seeder can meet the seeding requirements for rice precision direct-seeding with film mulching. This paper provides theoretical reference for the design and optimization of the seed-filling component for rice hole-seeding equipment.

Incidence of Seromucous Otitis in Schools in Southern Algeria
Authors: Chettibi F. , Matouk M. , Benchriet K. , Selamat S. O. , Bachioua S. , Naidji M.
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Seromucous otitis (SMO) is a very common pathology, affecting almost 50% of children. It is a benign condition, but should be investigated in adults for neoplasia of the nasopharynx. It is bilateral in 85% of cases, with an average age of 5 years. Although the evolution of this pathology is often favorable in children, with a tendency to spontaneous regression, in adulthood these ears can evolve into simple or dangerous chronic otitis. Aim: To assess the incidence of seromucous otitis in children in southern Algeria (Laghouat), where the hot season is longer than in temperate or cold regions, and to detect and treat chronic forms. Materials & Methods: This is a monocentric, prospective study involving all schoolchildren aged between 3 and 12, with no history of otitis (chronic otitis) or sensorineural hearing loss, over a 13- month period (October 2020 to October 2021). The diagnosis of sensorineural hearing loss is based on anamnesis and confirmed by clinical examination and functional hearing tests. Results: Of the 340 children examined over a one-year period, 28 presented with seromucous otitis, i.e. 8.2% of the sample size, with a peak in frequency between the ages of 4 and 6. There was also a slight male predominance. Promiscuity was the most frequent risk factor, observed in 64% of cases. Spontaneous regression of seromucous otitis was observed in 10 children (35.7%), and surgical treatment with a trans-tympanic aerator with or without adenoidectomy was instituted in 13 children. Conclusion: The natural evolution of SMO does not always lead to spontaneous regression, and many cases require early management and strict monitoring to prevent complications. It is therefore necessary to introduce screening as part of school hygiene in order to reduce the incidence of chronic otitis in adults.

In today's era, with the continuous development of the internet, surfing the internet has become an inseparable part of our lives. For those who frequently roam the internet, URLs are information that we are constantly exposed to. And YRL is also divided into malicious and normal. Clicking on malicious URLs can cause certain losses to our internet tools, and in severe cases, it can even lead to money theft. Malicious URL detection is an important task in the field of network security, aimed at identifying and preventing potential network attacks and malicious activities. Traditional malicious URL detection methods, such as Blacklist based detection and Machine learning based on feature extraction, have achieved certain results, but face challenges in real-time, accuracy, and data requirements. Therefore, this article proposes the use of Quantum Long Short-Term Memory Neural Network (QLSTM) to solve this problem. By observing the accuracy, recall, and F1 values obtained from training a large amount of data on the QLSTM network, it is shown that this method is feasible.

In this current rapidly evolving technological era, the fear and threat of theft, fraud and infringement looms large in the virtual Diasporas. The creativity of an inventor/creator is dependent on the originality quotient of his or her work. Greater the uniqueness greater is the value of the work. Hence, the need of protection arises. Intellectual Property Rights are the particular ‘protection’ that is provided by the law to all the inventors and creators for their work. These rights are of various types that specifically protect different categories of creative expressions ad inventions. Enhanced discussion has been done in the current work to trace the history, mechanisms, impact and loopholes in the existing system of law with respect to IPR. It tries to understand the need of developing such a system and also how the laws have evolved to cater efficiently to the public. Major departments and organisations have been mentioned herethat govern the entire system. Loopholes exist in this system of law but it helps to maintain the dignity and respect of each person working to put forward ideas that can help shape the future.

Published: May 2024

Entering the 21st century, there has been an increase in white-collar crime both in quantity and quality in various parts of the world. White-collar crime is synonymous with various frauds committed by business and government professionals characterized by fraud, concealment, or breach of trust and is not dependent on the application of threats of violence or physical force. The internal control system, which has been very popular and is believed by many parties to prevent various violations, is a blunt weapon to expose various forms of certain white-collar crimes. This is because certain types of white collar crimes often involve the top leaders of an organization that has high authority in the organization, even though the person functions as a guardian of the rules in the internal control system that is applied. Bearing in mind the weaknesses of the internal control system and the increasing white collar crime, various countries and business associations have made various prevention efforts and have increasingly increased the demand for a good governance system. The violation reporting mechanism can be one of the elements that can be relied upon in a good governance system. It is recognized that whistleblowers have given a very important role in exposing various major crime scandals. The population in this study are employees of private companies located in Jakarta. The research data was obtained from distributing questionnaires directly to respondents or via email. The research sample is non random selected in convenience. The results showed subjective norms had a positive and significant effect on intentions of reporting violations, while attitudes and behavioral control perceived positive but not significant effect on intentions of reporting violations.

Phonological Basis of Mispronunciation in Spoken English of Kabarasi People in Social Setting
Authors: Chenenje Solomon Luvonga
Published: May 2024

The phonological basis of mispronunciation in spoken English by Kabarasi speakers in social settings includes voicing and devoicing, vowel insertion, substitution or avoidance, and syllable misplacement. The study adopted the contrastive analysis hypothesis theory by Khresheh (2016), which describes how errors are transferred from L1 to L2 and the degree of strength of errors transferred, whether positive or negative. The data was presented and analyzed in tables from which sounds of both English and Kabarasi were written. English has 25 consonant sounds, while Kabarasi has 23. Some sounds clash while others (voiceless) match, but the mismatch rate is higher than positive transfer, leading to errors in spoken English. Such errors can be minimized by practice in English elocution and oral skills based on minimal pairs. However, all the errors in spoken English by Kabarasi speakers can not be eradicated completely, provided that the utterer is a native speaker of Lukabrasi.
Potential Efficacy of Syringaresinol in the Treatment of Myocardial Injury: Inhibition of Pyroptosis and Oxidative Stress
Authors: Zheng Yan , Xing Liu , Shifan Tang , Jie Zhao , Yuanfang Zhu
Published: May 2024

This paper aims to investigate the possible effects of Syringaresinol on a myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury cell model and uncover the underlying mechanism. A myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury cell model was constructed using an oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion-subjected H9c2 cell line. 3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo (-z-y1)-3,5-diphenytetrazoliumromide) and lactate dehydrogenases releasing assays showed the effects on cell viability. Immunoblot and flow cytometry assays showed the impact on cell pyroptosis. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay uncovered the effects on oxidative stress in H9c2 cells. Further, immunoblot and quantitative polymerase chain reaction assays were conducted to confirm the mechanism. Syringaresinol enhanced the survival and suppressed pyroptosis in H9c2 cells subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion. Syringaresinol also inhibited oxidative stress in H9c2 cells subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion, and mechanically, it suppressed the expression of HSP90, thus inhibiting myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. Syringaresinol ameliorated the pyroptosis and oxidative stress of oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion in cardiomyocytes and alleviated cardiomyocyte damage.
