Voice assistants, such as Alexa, are sold in the three-digit million range every year. They are seen as plug-and-playsolutions to make everyday life easier and more convenient. However, most emerging technologies are used, analyzed,and optimized in a business environment. Even though the sales market for household appliances is growing every year.In this research project, the use of voice assistants in private households were investigated regarding the possible adjustmentof daily routines. The study was conducted by using a diary app. This paper describes the selection of the diary appused and reflects on its use from the perspective of the researchers and project participants. The selection criteria includethe human-app interface, the type of data collection, the researcher dashboard, the possible interaction between researchersand project participants, the language and automated transcription, the data security, the provided technical support,the corporate culture, the professional impression, and the costs, which are particularly important for a research project.Finally, the weaknesses in the selection of the diary app are outlined.
On Interdisciplinary Embraces in Game Studies
Authors: Eklund Lina , Sjöblom Björn , Back Jon
Published: August 2024

That game studies is an interdisciplinary venture is often stated and yet contested. Indeed, the Nordic DiGRA 2023 Conference was held under the theme: Interdisciplinary Embraces. In this editorial to the conference special issues we delve into the history of game studies as interdisciplinary. Through interviews with some key researchers from the Nordic Region (Annika Waern, Espen Aarseth, Frans Mäyrä, Jesper Juul), we explore some meanings and implications of the interdisciplinarity nature of game studies. We suggest that the success of game studies as a “project” lies in its ability to bring together disparate traditions in interdisciplinary efforts while simultaneously building up a core. Game studies today both is and is not interdisciplinary through a disciplinary gravitational core and an interdisciplinary cloud surrounding it.

Authors: Ruheni George Gatere , Rambo Charles Mallans , Wafula Charles Misiko , Mwenda Mary Nyambura
Published: August 2024

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine how resource allocation influences climate-smart agriculture projects in Laikipia County, Kenya. 
 
Theoretical Framework: Pareto Efficiency Theory states that at a certain level, it is not possible to utilize more resources to improve one party, without jeopardizing the other party. The study sought to heighten the level of food production to guarantee food security without threatening the environment.
 
Method: A concurrent mixed method approach that adopted the descriptive cross-sectional survey and correlational design was employed to study two World Bank-sponsored Kenya Climate Smart Agriculture projects. Stratified and Simple random sampling were employed to get a sample of 225 small-scale farmers and purposeful sampling identified four key informants. Data was collected using questionnaires and an interview guide and analyzed using descriptive, inferential, and content data analysis techniques.
 
Results and Discussion: The composite mean and standard deviation of the respondents' opinions on resource allocation were 3.52 and 1.143, respectively. The correlation coefficient of resource allocation and the performance of climate-smart agriculture projects was weak, with r=-0.220 and p-value p=0.000<0.05. Therefore, though resource allocation is a crucial factor in food production, judicious and effective resource allocation is critical to realizing the full potential of the projects.
 
Research Implications: Consequently, it is critical to have policies that promote the effective allocation of public and private goods to promote food production coupled with enhanced healthy ecology.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by providing reliable and triangulated empirical data through authentic methodology enhancing suitability for data generalisability and replicability. The relevance and value of this research is evidenced by the need to promote food security in a healthy ecology.
Integrated Experimental and Simulation Investigation of Breakdown Voltage Characteristics Across Electrode Configurations in SF6 Circuit Breakers
Authors: Guan Bo , Yu Qi , Yuan Qingpeng , Chen Shiwen , Chen Lailin , Guo Su , Zhu Peilong
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the breakdown voltage characteristics in sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) circuit breakers, employing a novel approach that integrates both experimental investigations and finite element simulations. Utilizing a sphere-sphere electrode configuration, we meticulously measured the relationship between breakdown voltage and electrode gap distances ranging from 1 cm to 4.5 cm. Subsequent simulations, conducted using COMSOL Multiphysics, mirrored the experimental setup to validate the model’s accuracy through a comparison of the breakdown voltage-electrode gap distance curves. The simulation results not only aligned closely with the experimental data but also allowed the extraction of detailed electric field strength, electric potential contours, and electric current flow curves at the breakdown voltage for gap distances extending from 1 to 4.5 cm. Extending the analysis, the study explored the electric field and potential distribution at a constant voltage of 72.5 kV for gap distances between 1 to 10 cm, identifying the maximum electric field strength. A comprehensive comparison of five different electrode configurations (sphere-sphere, sphere-rod, sphere-plane, rod-plane, rod-rod) at 72.5 kV and a gap distance of 1.84 cm underscored the significant influence of electrode geometry on the breakdown process. Moreover, the research contrasts the breakdown voltage in SF6 with that in air, emphasizing SF6’s superior insulating properties. This investigation not only elucidates the intricate dynamics of electrical breakdown in SF6 circuit breakers but also contributes valuable insights into the optimal electrode configurations and the potential for alternative insulating gases, steering future advancements in high-voltage circuit breaker technology.
Issues about application of bioremediation for cleaning up of contaminated sites
Authors:   Environmental Science and Engineering Program, Guangdong Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, 241 Daxue Road, Shantou, Guangdong 515063, China, Gu Ji-Dong
Published: August 2024

Bioremediation as a cleaning up technology is less predictable and efficient for application on site. An apparent gap is still evident between the laboratory results with pure culture or mixed culture of microorganisms and their biochemical capability including genes and enzymes involved, and the effectiveness at cleaning up the pollutants in soil and sediment on site. Associated issues include the characteristics of the site, ageing of the chemical pollutants and sequestration into soil as one, and activity and competitive of the degradative microorganisms under the actual contaminated conditions of natural environment. Because of these, the favorable conditions for the active growth of degradative microorganisms have not been investigated well enough with the available technology, so a simple inoculation of the pure culture effective under laboratory conditions cannot guarantee an expected efficiency and positive results at on site testing. In addition, the soil or sediment physical and chemical conditions under the natural environment play an important role in the removal or mineralization of organic pollutants, but inadequate attention has been given to these factors involved from ecology. It is the objectives here to bring the attention to the bioavailable concentration of the pollutants and also the active metabolism of the organisms in situ to advance and demonstrate the effective cleaning up of contaminated sites.

Published: August 2024

El cáncer de piel no melanoma (CPNM) se trata tradicionalmente con escisión quirúrgica. Los métodos no quirúrgicos como la crioterapia y la quimioterapia tópica, entre otros tratamientos, son otras opciones. La queratosis actínica (QA) se consideran lesiones precancerosas que con el tiempo pueden progresar a carcinoma de células escamosas (CCE). La terapia fotodinámica (TFD) ofrece un tratamiento eficaz para los QA y también es eficaz para el carcinoma basocelular superficial (CCB). El CCB nodular y la enfermedad de Bowen (CCE in situ) han mostrado tasas de respuesta aceptables con la TFD, aunque las tasas de recidiva son más altas para estos dos subtipos de CPNM. La PDT de metilaminolevulinato (MAL) es una opción de tratamiento más eficaz que la PDT de ácido 5-aminolevulínico (ALA) para el CCB nodular. Varios estudios han demostrado que la TFD da como resultado resultados cosméticos superiores en comparación con el tratamiento quirúrgico. En general, la TFD es bien tolerada, siendo el dolor el efecto secundario más común.

Em escala global, a qualidade e a quantidade dos recursos hídricos disponíveis para o abastecimento humano são cada vez mais limitadas. Não há dúvidas que o processo para a recuperação da disponibilidade permeia técnicas de planejamento territorial de bacias hidrográficas que são utilizadas como mananciais de abastecimento. Este artigo tem como objetivo aplicar o Índice de Qualidade Ambiental dos Recursos Hídricos (IQA-HIDRO) na bacia hidrográfica de Extremoz que é um manancial superficial da cidade de Natal/RN. Foi utilizado o Modelo Digital de Elevação (MDE) derivado da Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) para delimitar a área de contribuição do manancial, na sequência, para mapear a cobertura natural e os usos do solo oriundos das atividades humanas, foram utilizadas imagens do satélite SENTINEL 2, em ambiente de Sistemas de Informação Geográfica (SIG), as informações geográficas foram integradas e operações como Distância Euclidiana, Lógica Fuzzy e Soma Ponderada foram realizadas no software ArcGIS 10.5. Em se tratando de área de manancial periurbano, a aplicação de um índice que mede a distância das fontes impactantes em relação aos elementos hídricos, pode ser vista como um modelo com alto potencial de replicação, visando subsidiar com informações técnicas o planejamento de outras áreas de manancial. A análise do índice revela áreas de menor qualidade hídrica estão ligadas a atividades poluentes, urbanização acentuada, bem como à expansão urbana que invade zonas de mananciais. A presença de um aterro sanitário próximo ao manancial destaca a necessidade de um monitoramento rigoroso e manutenção preventiva para evitar danos ambientais graves que podem potencialmente afetar a saúde ambiental do corpo hídrico como também a saúde pública.

Published: August 2024

Background

The Vibrio genus comprises several bacterial species present in the Baltic Sea region (BSR), which are known to cause human infections.

Aim

To provide a comprehensive retrospective analysis of Vibrio-induced infections in the BSR from 1994 to 2021, focusing on the ‘big four’ Vibrio species – V. alginolyticus, V. cholerae non-O1/O139, V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus – in eight European countries (Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Sweden) bordering the Baltic Sea.

Methods

Our analysis includes data on infections, Vibrio species distribution in coastal waters and environmental data received from national health agencies or extracted from scientific literature and online databases. A redundancy analysis was performed to determine the potential impact of several independent variables, such as sea surface temperature, salinity, the number of designated coastal beaches and year, on the Vibrio infection rate.

Results

For BSR countries conducting surveillance, we observed an exponential increase in total Vibrio infections (n = 1,553) across the region over time. In Sweden and Germany, total numbers of Vibrio spp. and infections caused by V. alginolyticus and V. parahaemolyticus positively correlate with increasing sea surface temperature. Salinity emerged as a critical driver of Vibrio spp. distribution and abundance. Furthermore, our proposed statistical model reveals 12 to 20 unreported cases in Lithuania and Poland, respectively, countries with no surveillance.

Conclusions

There are discrepancies in Vibrio surveillance and monitoring among countries, emphasising the need for comprehensive monitoring programmes of these pathogens to protect human health, particularly in the context of climate change.

The emerging Clade Ib lacks the genomic region used in the Clade I-specific assay from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We report an MPXV real-time PCR to specifically detect Clade Ib. The assay demonstrated proficient sensitivity and specificity in 92 samples and can be included along other TaqMan-based assays to detect MPXV and distinguish between clades and subclades.
SMM MANAGER ON THE UKRAINIAN COMMUNICATION MARKET IN WARTIME CONDITIONS: REALITIES, CHALLENGES, TRENDS
Authors: Pohrebniak Inha , Diana Chepurnova Diana
Published: August 2024

The ability of a business to be flexible and adapt to the realities of current conditions allows it to survive in difficult times. A communicator or SMM manager is behind all communications on behalf of a company or institution. On the one hand, this is a simple profession that does not require much effort; on the other hand, it is a rather complex position that requires a combination of versatile skills and abilities in one person. Sociocommunication and interdisciplinary approaches are represented in the presented research. General scientific methods such as induction, deduction, analysis, and synthesis contributed to the holistic study of the research topic. The research subject was revealed using the descriptive method, and the main problem was outlined. The survey demonstrates the inconsistency of remuneration of SMM managers concerning the expected demands from the employer. The imbalance in the Ukrainian communication market among SMM managers existed at the gender, age, and regional levels during wartime. The study results showed that managers should understand the algorithms and specifics of each social network in the same way as the importance of engaging in communication on behalf of the brand or organization of all employees, not just the SMM manager.
Digitization of the economy, challenges of wartime, inflated requirements of employers to candidates complicate the working conditions of SMM managers. Workers have to combine very different skills and abilities, but they do not receive the corresponding level of wages. Further scientific research can be related to the search for models for improving the functions and methods of work of an SMM manager as an employee in an organization or institution in order to improve the efficiency of such an employee and establish a decent salary.
The prospect of further research consists of finding related problems with communications in various areas in other regions of Ukraine. To improve efficiency, you should review the requirements for candidates and redistribute them according to salary, forming new approaches to the work of SMM managers as employees.
THE IMPORTANCE OF PUBLIC RELATIONS IN THE SYSTEM OF THE CREATIVE ECONOMY
Authors: Sinko Andrii
Published: August 2024

The article reveals the essence and content of public relations in the current conditions of society development. Through the prism of the concept of the creative economy, which has been formed in the scientific discourse, the author presents the opinion of the relevance of public relations to its effective functioning. The author analyzes the opinions of researchers in the field of social communications and related areas relevant to this study. In addition, the modern conceptual and categorical apparatus of public relations in the creative economy system is taken into account and described.
Public relations, as a function of effective social communications, is an important component of the work and improvement of the creative economy within the country and around the world. It means the active functioning of this process, which includes a number of important factors, among which the key one is the direct connection between communicators and the audience. If these components communicate in a coordinated manner, the process of information transfer should take place, which ultimately leads to new solutions and the satisfaction of public expectations.
Recently, the issue of the effectiveness of the creative economy in modern conditions has been raised quite often in the media space, which requires more thorough scientific research into its connection with the field of social communications. Public relations becomes especially important when communicators need to implement a high-quality explanation of their actions and steps, as many challenges arise in the context of social and economic instability. In particular, we are talking about artificial intelligence tools that can somehow complement the work of organizations or neutralize it by violating both legal and ethical norms.
The paper implements the theoretical approach to scientific research, which scholars carried out by personally analyzing existing works.

Authors: Tsapok Olena , Koval Svitlana
Published: August 2024

The article is devoted to one of the modern media trends in social networks – reels, short vertical explanatory videos created to inform the audience that receives information from mobile devices. The article emphasizes the popularity of this format of information provision and its demand, which is confirmed by the data from various sociological surveys.
A preliminary analysis of scientific sources has shown a lack of research on media’s reels. Authors characterize the few works of scholars, mostly foreign researchers, which partially reveal this object. It was found that most of the articles about the reels were written by practitioners, particularly in the marketing field.
The publication aims to analyze reels’ genre specifics and characterize the legal rules for their creation. The task is to reveal reels as a popular media video format on Instagram, their genre features, and compliance with legal norms. Adequate research methods have been used: analysis, observation, description, comparative analysis, analytical and synthetic information processing, induction, deduction, generalization, and systematization.
The paper emphasizes the active use of media, particularly BBC News Ukraine, in social networks of a new genre of short vertical videos, i.e., reels that are explanatory and well-received by the audience.
Reels are characterized by specific editing, with previews, information hooks at the beginning, dynamic narration against the background of rapid image changes, and encouragement of the audience to comment and go to the media’s website as their mandatory components. Captions and audio play an important role in their composition.
The studied videos comply with the current international legislation on freedom of speech, particularly Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights. They also comply with the national norms of the laws «On Information» and «On Media», as well as with the bylaws on limiting the dissemination of information about the war. The BBC complies with copyright law when using audiovisual content from other sources.
It is summarized that reels are a powerful media tool for informing the audience on Instagram and explaining complex issues, which is specific in terms of editing and composition, and it meets current legal standards. The author emphasizes the prospect of further comparative studies of media reels.

SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN’S DATA IN THE DIGITAL AGE: A LEGAL APPROACH TO PREVENT CYBERATTACKS AND CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE
Authors: Gupta Sumedha , Kumari Sandhya
Published: August 2024

The growth of digital technologies and online platforms has dramatically increased the risk of children becoming victims of sexual abuse. Cybercriminals often abuse children's personal information, such as their name, age, location, and online activities, to identifyand exploit them. However, this digital revolution has also led to increased risks, including the vulnerability of children's data to cybersecurity attacks. One of the most concerning consequences of such attacks is facilitating child sexual abuse. Therefore,protecting children's data is essential in preventing child sexual abuse. In this background based on this hypothesis, this paper focuses on the legal approach to protect the vulnerability of children's data from cybersecurity attacks. The paper analysis the legal frameworks and guidelines developed by the Indian government to safeguard the personal data of children. Further, it would identify the current gaps in the legal framework and emphasise the need for further improvements towards strengthening the data protection of children. Moreover, the paper explores the role of technology in protecting children's data, including data encryption, secure data storage, access controls, and monitoring systems and also analyses the challenges associated with implementing these technological solutions. Finally, the paper offers suggestions for policymakers, legal practitioners, and technology professionals to protect children's data from cyberattacks, thereby preventing child sexual abuse.
Decelerating Education
Authors: Deumier Morgan , Sævi Tone , Timmermann Korsgaard Morten
Published: August 2024

Current educative practices have given rise to the predominant pressure to increase production and speed in academic work and education in general. Educators need to ask whether conceiving of education in such terms is what we really want our children and youth to experience. In this paper, we aim to interrogate the question of how a deceleration of education is possible, and why this would be desirable for students and teachers. We do this in a circuitous way, by exploring four exercises in pedagogical deceleration. These exercises are inspired by philological, didactical, pedagogical, and phenomenological practices.

Countries in Central Asia, which are highly vulnerable to climate change, experience a variety of health-related impacts to which they must adapt. At the same time, climate mitigation interventions in the health sector in the form of reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions may also generate co-benefits. This article briefly outlines current understanding of the relationship between climate change impacts and human health in Central Asia and establishes a scope of inquiry based on climate and health linkages as identified by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It then identifies and summarizes existing research and reporting on this topic in the region as presented in published literature, country reporting to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and gray literature, including policy literature and documentation of donor-funded development interventions in the region. This review, which attempts to summarize and appraise those efforts, has found that both peer-reviewed and grey literature on this topic must be used with caution. The most frequent problems with peer-reviewed and grey literature resources involved confounding bias, and—to a lesser extent—self-reporting bias. The use of an appraisal framework for grey literature sources can frame these diverse resources in the proper context, identify potential shortcomings, and gain insights into current priorities and future direction for research on climate change and health in the region.

Bacteria are one of the organisms that may cause disease in the human body. Some bacteria which often infect the human body are Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Both bacteria are pathogenic and possibly lead to various diseases such as diarrhea, urinary tract infections, and lung infections that have the potential to result in death. Treatment of infections caused by these bacteria can be done by giving antibiotics as therapy or a quick cure against infection. The use of antibiotics has side effects that result in resistance. Therefore, it is necessary to screen bioactive compounds with bioactivity as better antibacterial agents so that they can be developed into drugs that can cure diseases caused by bacteria. It is urgent to utilize natural antibacterials from plants to treat bacterial infections. This research aims to obtain the compound content, the total phenolic, and antibacterial activity of acetone extract of rambai leaves, so this research focused on rambai leaf acetone extract phytochemical content, total phenolic content, and antibacterial activity examination. Then, Phytochemical testing of rambai leaf acetone extract (Baccaurea motleyana) shows rambai leaves contain alkaloid compounds, tannins, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, and terpenoids that have the potential to be antibacterial. The examination of phenolic content was accomplished by using the Folin-Ciocalteau method. The total phenolic test results obtained were 68.63 mg EAG/g. Antibacterial testing was performed by implementing the disk diffusion method. Antibacterial testing of rambai leaf acetone extract Concentration of 20 %, 40%,60%, and 80%  showed consecutive results in inhibition zones of 3.86 mm, 6.48 mm, 6.55 mm, and 6.63 mm with weak to medium activity for E. coli bacteria. However, S. aureus  bacteria showed consecutive results in inhibition zones of 6.02 mm, 10.15 mm, 17.10 mm, and 19.46 mm with medium to intense activity. There has not been much research on rambai from Bangka Belitung, so there is an indispensable for further research regarding the total flavonoid and total alkaloid content of rambai leaves. Research may also carried out using a variety of solvents.

Desde o final do século XX a saúde da mulher vem recebendo uma atenção mais especifica das especialidades médicas. Mais especificamente a saúde da gestante é uma das principais bandeiras levantadas pelos principais atores internacionais. De forma bem específica a Organização das Nações Unidas – ONU colocou o tema em pauta ao inclui-lo na Agenda 21 e na Agenda 2030. Na Agenda 21 ele foi incluído como um dos objetivos do milênio, mais especificamente o Objetivo 5º. Na Agenda 2030 ele faz parte do 17 Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável. Ele aparece no Objetivo 3º. Lá é dito que os atores internacionais devem agir de forma a reduzir a taxa de mortalidade materna global até 2030.

Partindo dessas premissas o Projeto de Extensão se propôs a avaliar o conhecimento que as mulheres que realização o acompanhamento pré-natal na Clínica da Família do Centro sobre o período gestacional e suas implicações na saúde da mulher. De acordo com a pesquisa de campo efetuada, foi possível notar uma lacuna de conhecimento das mulheres gestantes acerca do período gestatório, a exemplo dos cuidados com a saúde da mulher, a importância do pré-natal e do período puerperal, bem como a educação continuada em saúde. Diante disso, no âmbito de saúde da mulher, tratando-se do período gestacional, os profissionais de saúde exercem um papel importante no que concerne a humanização da assistência, visto que o processo gestacional e o período pós-parto são permeados por sentimento de insegurança, medo e dúvidas, o que torna necessário a implantação de um projeto educativo para o grupo de gestantes na unidade básica de saúde.
