Making Media More Accessible through an Audio Description Assignment
Authors: Haller Beth
Published: January 2022

Abstract: Advertising in the Classroom articles provide ideas on how to incorporate new assignments into a media literacy or advertising course. This article presents an interview about a classroom assignment that was designed to demonstrate how audio description (AD) lowers the barriers for the blindness community to participate in the current media viewing culture. AD is the art of finding what a blind or low vision person needs to know about a visual event (e.g., theater, film, art, sports, advertising) and fitting a short verbal description of it between dialogue or other important audio cues. Courses on advertising and society can adapt the assignment by using a commercial as their media text, which presents an opportunity for students to learn about the importance of inclusivity and access in designing ads. The assignment also allows students to discuss how brands can benefit from increasing accessibility in their messaging.
Understanding Generation Z Perceptions of Artificial Intelligence in Marketing and Advertising
Authors: Jeffrey Thomas R.
Published: January 2022

Abstract: The driving force in the current era of disruptive marketing is the personalization of commercial messages with the goal of developing an extreme intimacy with the consumer via data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI). While the benefits of AI to marketing and advertising are well documented, less understood is the possible negative impact on the individual and society. This study investigates Generation Z (Gen Z) perceptions of AI in marketing, as a step toward a better understanding of its aggregate value, by exploring participants' levels of 1) awareness and understanding of AI in marketing, 2) concern about data privacy, and 3) concern about psychological profiling, stereotyping, and manipulation. The results of this study find a contradiction in how AI in marketing is generally perceived versus how specific issues are perceived. For this group of young people, there is a low level of concern about the use of AI in marketing, but higher levels of concern were reported for specific issues regarding personal data, psychological profiling, stereotyping, and manipulation.
The role of hydraulic and geomorphic complexity in predicting invasive carp spawning potential: St. Croix River, Minnesota and Wisconsin, United States
Authors: Kasprak Alan , Jackson P. Ryan , Lindroth Evan M. , Lund J. William , Ziegeweid Jeffrey R.
Published: February 2022

Since they were first introduced to the United States more than 50 years ago, invasive carp have rapidly colonized rivers of the Mississippi River Basin, with detrimental effects on native aquatic species. Their continued range expansion, and potential for subsequent invasion of the Great Lakes, has led to increased concern for the susceptibility of as-yet uncompromised lotic and lentic systems in the central United States. Because invasive carp eggs and larvae must drift in the river current for the first several days following spawning, numerical drift modeling has emerged as a useful technique for determining whether certain river systems and reaches have the potential to support suspension-to-hatching survival of invasive carp eggs, a critical first step in recruitment. Here we use one such numerical modeling approach, the Fluvial Egg Drift Simulator (FluEgg), to estimate bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) egg hatching success and larval retention in a 47.8-kilometer (km) reach of the multi-thread St. Croix River, Minnesota and Wisconsin, United States. We explore three approaches for obtaining the hydraulic data required by FluEgg, parameterizing the model with either (a) field hydraulic data collected within the main channel during a high-flow event, or hydraulic data output from a one-dimensional hydrodynamic model with both (b) steady, and (c) unsteady flows. We find that the three approaches, along with the range of water temperatures and discharge used in simulations, produce vastly different predictions of streamwise transport and in-river egg hatching probability (0% for field data, 0 to 96% for steady-state hydraulic modeling, and 1.8 to 65% for unsteady modeling). However, all FluEgg simulations, regardless of the source of hydraulic data, predicted that no larvae reach the gas bladder inflation stage within the study reach where nursery habitat is abundant. Overall, these results indicate that the lower St. Croix River is suitable for invasive carp spawning and egg suspension until hatching for a range of discharge and water temperatures. These results highlight the role of complex channel hydraulics and morphology, particularly multi-thread reaches, and their inclusion in ecohydraulic-suitability modeling to determine susceptibility of river systems for invasive carp reproduction. Our work also emphasizes the scientific value of multi-dimensional hydrodynamic models that can capture the spatial heterogeneity of flow fields in geomorphically complex rivers. This work may help to guide management efforts based on the targeted monitoring and control and improve invasive carp egg and larvae sampling efficiency.
Contemporary television and the concept of transparency
Authors: Joseph Jenson
Published: January 2022

Stuart Hall’s seminal article ‘Encoding, decoding’, while discussing the hegemonic-dominant mode of televisual communication in which the receiver decodes the message ‘straight’, describes it as a ‘transparent’ scenario, referring to the smooth symmetry between the two ends of the encoding and the decoding. By the early 1990s, when private satellite television channels started transmission in India, their operations hinged around a notion of transparency which is entirely different from the sense of ‘straight communication’ which Hall was referring to when he used the term. Calling it ‘process transparency’, I try to show in this article that the private satellite television identified ‘simulating the effect of revealing the encoding process’ as key in producing a spectatorial address distinct from how the state broadcast institution had come to address the viewers. Through a performative revelation of the coding process, which in turn can produce an alluring effect of immediacy, the aesthetics of process transparency promises a higher fidelity in representation. The first part of this article discusses the case of Asianet, the Malayalam satellite channel which, when it started its telecast in 1993 as one of the first private satellite television channels in India, attempted to institute a new set of professional codes that were meant to produce the effect of revealing the internal processes of representation/mediation. The article later explores the larger implications of this route to transparency and immediacy, by identifying and discussing a set of aesthetic registers deployed in news programmes in contemporary television across the world.
Tracing the Kafkaesque in neoliberal India: No Smoking (2007)
Authors: Pal Soumik
Published: January 2022

This article looks at the film No Smoking (2007), as an example of a ‘Kafkaesque’ piece of art which, though a commercial failure, attempts an ingenious critique of the absurdity of the neoliberal order (and impending fascism). The article examines how the film explores the promises (and their non-fulfilment) of urban space and technology, surveillance, censorship, the rise of right-wing populism, and the negotiations of identity in the irrational neoliberal order.

Epizootiological aspects of natural nidality of Ixodes tick-borne borreliosis in the Moscow region (Russian Federation)
Authors: Mukhametov Almas , Osadchuk Mikhail , Berechikidze Iza , Pronkin Nikolay
Published: January 2022

Background and Aim: At present, tick-borne borreliosis is the most common infectious disease transmitted by ticks in Europe, Asia, and North America. This study aimed to examine the epizootiological aspects of the natural nidality of tick-borne borreliosis in Moscow region (the Russian Federation).

Materials and Methods: A total of 2,537 ticks representing two species were collected, namely, Ixodes ricinus and Dermacentor reticulatus. The activity, number of ticks, and Borrelia infestation rates were investigated during a high season, that is, from early spring to mid-autumn.

Results: In May, amount of I. ricinus spp. was found 2.5 times more than those representing D. reticulatus spp. (p≤0.01). In June, August, and September, the amount of I. ricinus was 9.0 (p≤0.0001), 2.0 (p≤0.05), and 5.0 times higher, respectively, compared to D. reticulatus. In the first 10 days of April, the amount of D. reticulatus was 3 times higher than that of I. ricinus (p≤0.02); in the next 10 days, their amounts were equal (p≥0.05) and in the last 10 days the amount of I. ricinus exceeded that of D. reticulatus (p≤0.05) by 1.5 times. In general, Borrelia afzelii, and Borrelia garinii, were detected. In addition, the naturally occurring tick-borne borreliosis pesthole was revealed in the Moscow region.

Conclusion: Borrelia infection rates for ticks comprise 30%. An increase in Borrelia tick infestation was detected within the vicinity of populated areas. The amount of ticks directly depends on the temperature (20°C-25°C) and moisture (from 50%) values.

Published: January 2022

This paper investigates relationships between birds and the inhabitants of Afro-descendant communities in the Caatinga of northeastern Brazil, paying particular attention to conservation. Near the Refúgio de Vida Silvestre da Serra do Giz wildlife reserve, we interviewed 55 residents using semi-structured forms combined with free interviews and informal conversations. Residents reported 121 species in 43 families and 21 orders. They recounted what they knew about nesting, reproductive and social behaviors, diet, and bird conservation. The lack of reporting on several species of birds known from the Serra do Giz was probably because those birds are absent due to hunting and habitat destruction. This study demonstrates the importance of conducting ethnobiological studies for bird conservation and to record local traditional knowledge.

Published: January 2022

Objective: The purpose of our study was to investigate the risk factors of remnant tumor growth after incomplete resection (IR) of cervical dumbbell-shaped schwannomas (DS).Methods: Twenty-one patients with IR of cervical DS with at least 2 years of follow-up were included and were divided into 2 groups: the remnant tumor growth (G) (n = 10) and no growth (NG) (n = 11) groups. The tumor location in the axial plane according to Toyama classification, the location of the remnant tumor margin, and the tumor growth rate (MIB-1 index) index were compared.Results: No significant differences in Toyama classification and MIB-1 index were found. Age was significantly higher in the G group (61.4 years vs. 47.6 years; p = 0.030), but univariate logistic regression analysis revealed little correlation to the growth (odds ratio [OR], 1.08; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.001–1.166; p = 0.047). Seventeen patients (9 in the G and 8 in the NG group) underwent the posterior one-way approach, and significant differences in the location of the remnant tumor margin were confirmed: within the spinal canal in 1 and 0 case, at the entrance of the intervertebral foramen in 7 and 1 cases, and in the foramen distal from the entrance in 1 and 7 cases, in the G and NG groups, respectively (p = 0.007). The proximal margin was identified as a significant predictor of the growth (OR, 56.0; 95% CI, 2.93–1,072; p = 0.008).Conclusion: Remnant tumors with margins distally away from the entrance of the foramen were less likely to grow after IR of cervical DS.

Published: January 2022

Objective: Patients presenting with neurological deficit secondary to metastatic epidural spinal cord compression (MESCC) are often treated with surgery in combination with high-dose corticosteroids. Despite steroids being commonly used, the evidence regarding the effect of corticosteroids on patient outcomes is limited. The objective of this study was to describe the effect of corticosteroid use on preoperative neurological function in patients with MESCC.Methods: Patients who underwent surgery between August 2013 and February 2017 for the treatment of spinal metastases and received steroids to prevent neurologic deficits were included. Data regarding demographics, diagnosis, treatment, neurological function, adverse events, health-related quality of life, and survival were extracted from an international multicenter prospective cohort.Results: A total of 30 patients treated surgically and receiving steroids at baseline were identified. Patients had a mean age of 58.2 years (standard deviation, 11.2 years) at time of surgery. Preoperatively, 50% of the patients experienced deterioration of neurological function, while in 30% neurological function was stable and 20% improved in neurological function. Lengthier steroid use did not correlate with improved or stabilized neurological function. Postoperative adverse events were observed in 18 patients (60%). Patients that stabilized or improved neurologically after steroid use showed a trend towards improved survival at 3- and 24-month postsurgery.Conclusion: This study described the effect of steroids on preoperative neurological function in patients with MESCC. Stabilization or improvement of preoperative neurological function occurred in 50% of the patients.

INTRODUCTION

Overt hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a major complication of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). This study aimed to develop and validate prognostic models to identify patients at different risk of overt HE within 3 months after TIPS.

METHODS

Two cohorts of cirrhotic patients undergoing TIPS insertion were retrospectively included. In the derivation cohort of 276 patients, 3 models were established in increasing order of complexity: core model (age + Child-Pugh class), sarcopenia model (core model + sarcopenia), full model (sarcopenia model + post-TIPS portal pressure gradient [PPG]). All models were internally validated with respect to discrimination and calibration, and externally validated in an independent cohort of 182 patients.

RESULTS

During a 3-month follow-up period, 61 (22.1%) and 33 (18.1%) patients developed overt HE in the derivation and validation cohort, and sarcopenia was associated with increased risk of the outcome. In the derivation cohort, the core model showed a c-statistic of 0.68 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.61-0.75), and discrimination improved in the sarcopenia model (c-statistic 0.73; 95% CI 0.66-0.80). The full model that extended the core model with inclusion of sarcopenia and post-TIPS PPG showed a significant improvement on discriminative ability (0.77; 95% CI 0.71-0.83; P=0.001). Both sarcopenia and full model yielded comparable performance in the validation cohort.

DISCUSSION

We developed and externally validated 2 prediction models applied before (sarcopenia model) and after TIPS (full model) to estimate the risk of post-TIPS overt HE. These tools could aid to select appropriate candidates for TIPS and guide postoperative management.

Tempat parkir merupakan hal yang jarang menjadi perhatian banyak orang, namun dalam kenyataanya tempat parkir adalah kebutuhan yang penting di semua lokasi. Di semua tempat umum pasti tersedia lokasi parkir dengan pengelolaan yang berbeda-beda. Khusus di lokasi rumah sakit, pengunjung tidak hanya parkir dalam waktu singkat, ada beberapa pengunjung yang menitipkan kendaraannya hingga berhari-hari. Adapula pengunjung yang menitipkan kendaraannya untuk keperluan keluar masuk rumah sakit. Dengan beberapa perbedaan pengunjung maka petugas parkir juga akan semakin dibingungkan bagaimana cara membedakan kendaraan pengunjung. Maka dibutuhkan sistem informasi untuk membedakan tipe-tipe parkir kendaraan pengunjung, sehingga dapat memudahkan petugas dalam membedakan parkir pengunjung. Dalam sistem informasi ini aplikasi dapat membedakan kendaraan keluarga dan pengunjung biasa dengan tarif yang berbeda pula. Sehingga dapat mempermudah petugas ketika pembayaran tarif parkir kendaraan. Dalam sistem informasi ini perancangan yang digunakan yaitu menggunakan DFD. Aplikasi ini dirancang dan dibangun guna memenuhi kebutuhan di atas, sehingga petugas dapat dengan mudah menentukan berapa tarif yang harus dibayar pengunjung dengan lama waktu pengunjung menitipkan kendaraan, dan juga ketika kendaraan keluarga ingin keluar atau masuk ke lokasi maka tidak akan dikenakan biaya kembali selama masih masa aktif paket. Bahkan aplikasi ini bisa digunakan untuk menampilkan total biaya parkir yang diterima oleh petugas di masing-masing shift. Kata Kunci : parkir, kendaraan, pengunjung

Hal penting yang harus diperhatikan oleh setiap petugas investigator forensika digital dalam menjalankan aktivitas forensika digital adalah diikutinya setiap tahapan dan prosedur dalam forensika digital. Tahapan tersebut dikenal dengan istilah frameworks ataupun SOP investigasi. Tahapan dalam proses forensika digital harus sesuai dengan aturan hukum dan juga mekanisme yang tepat.  Namun framework investigasi yang berkembang saat ini ternyata masih terdapat kekurangan dimana ada tahapan-tahapan yang diatur dalam standar yang berlaku seperti SNI 27037:2014, ternyata tidak diatur dalam framework tersebut. Sehingga ketika tahapan tersebut terlewatkan dalam proses investigasi, tentu akan menjadi sebuah masalah dan bisa digugat di pengadilan serta dibatalkannya hasil investigasi yang dilakukan terkait adanya prosedur yang tidak dilaksanakan. Oleh karena itu dilakukan penelitian dengan melakukan identifikasi terhadap ketentuan dan proses penting dalam dokumen SNI 27037:2014 untuk kemudian menghasilkan instrument evaluasi yang dapat digunakan oleh penyidik atau praktisi forensika digital untuk melakukan penyesuaian atau evaluasi terhadap framework yang digunakan selama ini.

This research also uses wind, current, temperature and salinity data from the Reanalysis Model which is processed using the SNAP program with C2RCC method. Based on the research results, it was found that the distribution of chlorophyll-a spatially and temporally in the Semarang Bay showed a varied pattern. Temporally, the highest chlorophyll-a concentration occurred in January and the lowest was in June..Spatially, chlorophyll-a on the coast of Semarang and Demak is higher than that on the coast of Kendal in the west season, but entering the east season the highest chlorophyll-a is on the Kendal coast than on the coast of Semarang and Demak. Chlorophyll-a distribution in Semarang Bay mostly influenced by river run off and wind.

A Comparison of Texts for Writing and Original Speaking Texts by Correspondence Analysis
Authors: Uenishi Koji
Published: January 2022

This paper explores the differences of the four texts used in speaking and writing classes. Specifically, the texts were analyzed using a readability tool and Correspondence Analysis (hereafter, CA). An analysis of the data suggests that, in terms of readability and content, there were both similarities and differences among the four texts. More precisely, regarding readability, the two texts for the speaking class are closer to the level of English textbooks which junior high school students (seniors) use, compared to the other two texts. In addition, concerning the content including vocabulary, CA shows that the two texts, Writing 1 and Writing 2, are similar to each other, but those texts are different from the other two texts, Speaking 1 and Speaking 2.

Global Challenges for Business and Entrepreneurship: Case of Oman
Authors: Matriano Maria Teresa
Published: January 2022

Globalization has created various challenges among businesses and entrepreneurs. For many years, businesses have been facing challenges, such as increased competition, financial issues, and other operational challenges. Accordingly, businesses and entrepreneurs must adopt new strategies to address these emerging global challenges to remain competitive in the industry where they belong. Hence, it is also essential for entrepreneurs to employ strategic decision-making to achieve success within a business environment that is facing multiple global challenges. The goal of this study is to explore the current global challenges being faced by businesses and entrepreneurs, especially in the case of Oman. Some of the identified challenges for businesses and entrepreneurship includes keeping up with the current trends in business, global market competition, economic issues, information and communication technology (ICT) challenges, the current global health crisis, and other business-related issues. The variations of the global challenges must be understood properly by businesses and entrepreneurs to ensure business competitiveness, despite the risk of unwanted business outcomes brought by these challenges. With the emergence of these challenges, business owners or entrepreneurs will also have the chance to develop their strategic decision-making and even develop new strategies that will help the business survive.
Assessing Political Brand Relationship as Leverage for Voter Preference in Ghana
Authors: Glate Stanley Nelvis
Published: January 2022

This research is an empirical assessment of political brand relationship as leverage for voter preference and choice of candidates by voters in Ghana. The objective of the study is to ascertain the use of political brand relationships for leveraging the preference of voters. The study used a total sample size of 10 key party and labor union representatives. The research found out that voter identification and differentiation of a political party from one another, as a process, has positive effects on the voting motivations of respondents and their choice of candidates. The research established that the political brand of a party causes voters to accept and identify with a particular party. Finally, the research revealed that the desire to help voters, fulfilment of promises, the creation and sharing of wealth, and safety issues were of paramount concern to voters. The study also found out that, political brand relationship building has a positive impact on voter attraction/preference of the voter. Voters identified themselves with political brands on the basis of brand characteristics such as economic freedom, social status, safety, recognition, and personal achievement. The study further found out that political parties are liable to be neglected by voters when there is a failure to establish a brand relationship. The research recommends that in order to track or monitor changes in aspirations and needs, political parties should undertake regular marketing research with a view to obtaining current information regarding what voters want. The study further recommends that politicians should segment, target, and position their parties or candidates properly in the political market space if they are to be victorious in elections.
The Effects of Training Interventions on Interlimb Asymmetries: A Systematic Review With Meta-analysis
Authors: Bettariga Francesco , Turner Anthony , Maloney Sean , Maestroni Luca , Jarvis Paul , Bishop Chris
Published: January 2022

Interlimb asymmetries have been recently investigated in athletic populations. However, the effects of training interventions on interlimb asymmetries have been scarcely examined. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effects of training interventions on changes in interlimb asymmetries from pre- to post-training. Furthermore, to examine the effects of training programs on intervention groups compared with control groups. A database search was completed (MEDLINE, CINAHL, and SPORTDiscus). Eight studies were then included in the meta-analysis. Results showed small reductions in interlimb asymmetries in single-leg broad jump (SLBJ) and change of direction (COD) speed from pre- to post-training interventions, whereas moderate effects were found in single-leg countermovement jump (SLCMJ) and SL lateral jump. When comparing the training interventions with the control groups, results showed small effects in favor of the training groups for reducing interlimb asymmetries in SLBJ and large effects in SLCMJ and COD speed. Thus, training interventions can evoke small to moderate reductions in interlimb asymmetries from pre- to post-training programs. Strength training performed unilaterally or bilaterally may elicit these reductions. Furthermore, training interventions showed larger effects compared with the control groups in reducing interlimb asymmetries. However, further research is needed.
Fitness Testing in Soccer Revisited: Developing a Contemporary Testing Battery
Authors: Taylor Jonathan M. , Madden Jonathan L. , Cunningham Louis P. , Wright Matthew
Published: January 2022

Soccer match play dictates that players possess well-rounded physical capacities. Therefore, player physical development plans must consider developing several fitness components simultaneously. Effective individualization of training is likely facilitated with appropriate player profiling; therefore, developing a time-efficient and informative testing battery is highly relevant for practitioners. Advances in knowledge and technology over the past decade have resulted in refinements of the testing practices used by practitioners working in professional male and female soccer. Consequently, a contemporary approach to test selection and data analysis has progressively been adopted. Furthermore, the traditional approach of using a testing battery in a single day may now be outdated for full-time players, with a flexible approach to the scheduling of testing perhaps more suitable and time efficient. Here, guidance on testing for maximal aerobic, submaximal aerobic, linear and change of direction speed, and stretch-shortening cycle performance (i.e., jump testing) are presented for male and female players, with emphasis on time-efficient tests, while facilitating effective individualized training prescription. Normative and meaningful change data are presented to aid decision making and provide a reference point for practitioners. Finally, a time-efficient approach to scheduling fitness testing is presented, which complements daily training outcomes of a weekly periodization approach.
Poland’s Stance on the Refugee and Migration Crisis in the European Union
Authors: Zdanowicz Mieczysława
Published: February 2022

The increased influx of refugees into Europe in 2015 put a strain on Europe’s common asylum system. The European Union was faced with the challenge of solving this urgent problem, and was forced to take interim measures. In September 2015, the Council took two decisions: the first to relocate 40,000 applicants and the second to relocate 120,000 applicants to Member States. The relocation decisions were based on the principles of solidarity and fair sharing of responsibility as expressed in Article 80 of the TFEU. Member States retain the right to refuse to relocate an applicant only where there are reasonable grounds for regarding him or her as a danger to their national security or public order. However, states cannot, on the basis of security considerations, arbitrarily decide not to fulfill the obligations arising from the relocation decisions. Poland’s stance on the solutions adopted by the EU has evolved; the changes were dictated by internal as well as external factors.

Abstract: This article evaluates touristic – recreational potential of Kazakhstan and model of organizational forecast of tourist cluster. Interactions within the cluster lead to the development of new ways to compete and generate an entirely new opportunities to overcome isolation on domestic issues, inertia, inflexibility, and collusion between competitors that reduce or completely block the beneficial effects of competition and the emergence of new firms. Thus, the presence of the cluster allows domestic industry to maintain its advantage, and not give it to those countries that are more inclined to upgrade.
