The Media Network and the Communication System. Paper, Post, Printing, and the Book Trade. In the 18th century, the media space of Austria under the Enns was undoubtedly concentrated on the centre of Vienna in terms of production, consumption, and distribution. Nevertheless, in the Lower Austrian hinterland, regional media locations developed in the late 17th and early 18th century which were not insignificant as a production and industrial location for the imperial capital. For example, several paper mills existed in the Lower Austrian hinterland, with the Quarter over the Manhartsberg (today’s “Waldviertel”) and the Quarter under the Wienerwald (today’s “Industrieviertel”) in particular emerging as significant regions. The Lower Austrian towns of Krems, Retz, Horn, and Wiener Neustadt emerged in the course of the 18th century as regional printing locations. Post offices, inns and taverns, and weekly and annual markets functioned as important communication and information hubs. The flying and stationary book trade supplied the early modern media public with both ad-hoc and periodical printed works.

Lack of Collections as Data
Authors: Smith Christine
Published: November 2024

Streaming media licensing by academic libraries has, in recent decades, grown in breadth and complexity. Simultaneously, in the communication and media studies community, critical analysis of consumer-direct streaming media or over-the-top (OTT) platforms has explored media ownership and power dynamics. This article intends to bridge the gap between these two worlds and reframe the discourse of research into modern library analysis, turning away from the “how” media gatekeeping is being experienced by academic librarians and towards “what” media is being withheld. The analysis will be done through a case study of a collection, or rather, absence of collection, of films requested but unavailable for institutional licensing in a specific Canadian academic library. In exploring request, film, and market availability data for each title and analyzing trends found therewithin, the article aims to bring to light possible implications to the future of academia as technological advancements and media powerholders render certain audiovisual cultural artifacts inaccessible.

Runene på Snesere Sø-brakteaten
Authors: Mathiesen Trygve
Published: November 2024

Denne artikkelen tar for seg runene på Snesere Sø-brakteaten som et ledd i å nå en dypere forståelse rundt brakteatkulturen fra folkevandringstiden. Innskriften på brakteaten i eldre futhark består av seks runer i en kultisk kontekst, men byr på utfordringer knyttet til ligaturen av runene fire og fem, og spesielt tolkningen av den siste. Hvorvidt uklarheten skyldes en unøyaktighet fra gravørens side eller en skade på matrisen er vanskelig å vurdere. Den foretrukne lesningen i denne artikkelen vil favorisere avdekking av et hittil ukjent odinheite som har en parallell i Hávamál, men her i vokativ kasus. Sammenlikninger med andre tolkede odinheiter på brakteatinskripsjoner og vurderinger av vokativbruk i urnordisk og gotisk, viser at innskriften ikke er et enkelttilfelle innen denne type kultisk praksis.

Neonatal Chlamydial Conjunctivitis
Authors: Monteiro Nathalia da Cruz Assad , Fernandes Regina Celia de Souza Campos , Medina-Acosta Enrique
Published: November 2024

Infection with Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) during pregnancy can result in serious outcomes, including miscarriage, stillbirth, low birth weight, prematurity, neonatal conjunctivitis, and neonatal pneumonia. Despite these risks, routine screening for CT during pregnancy remains infrequent, limiting the opportunity for timely intervention. This report describes a case of neonatal conjunctivitis due to CT in a 9-day-old infant born vaginally to a 15-year-old primigravida. The infant was presented with purulent discharge, eyelid edema, and pustules on the face and neck. The mother had significant risk factors, including adolescence, multiple sexual partners, and untreated vaginal discharge during pregnancy. The conjunctivitis appeared five days postpartum, with a diagnosis confirmed via real-time PCR from conjunctival scrapings. Treatment with intravenous oxacillin, ceftriaxone, and clarithromycin led to full recovery without the development of pneumonia. This case underscores the need to identify maternal risk factors, such as adolescent age, multiple sexual partners, and untreated vaginal discharge during pregnancy, and highlights the importance of enhancing prenatal screening and implementing routine STI testing to prevent neonatal complications.

The outcome can be credited to the effectiveness of marketing efforts in the chosen retail via social media.
External auditing costs of fair value model amongst Jordanian financial institutions: The moderating effect of ownership structure
Authors: Alharasis Esraa Esam , Prokofieva Maria , Clark Colin , Hussainey Khaled , Marei Ahmad , Lutfi Abdalwali , Alrawa Mahmaod
Published: November 2024

The paper presents a fresh empirical approach for clarifying the impact of Jordan's most prevalent forms of ownership on the link between the “fair value (FV)” model share of assets and auditing costs. Using information gathered from 105 Jordanian financial listed companies spanning 2005 to 2018, ordinary least squares regression is applied in this paper. While financial institution ownership variables cause the opposite to be observed, family ownership decreases the link among the share of assets at FV and audit expenses. Family ownership results in decreased auditing costs paid only for “Level 1” assets; conversely, the extremely uncertain FV assets “Level 2 & 3” show the opposite. Financial institutional ownership demonstrates that auditing FV Level 1 leads to higher auditing costs. When relating FV Levels 2 and 3, the moderating effect of financial institutional ownership was significantly negative. No significant moderating effect of government ownership is confirmed. The inconclusive and limited empirical explanation of audit costs resulting from the FV model from a Western setting motivates our investigation. This study is considered as a unique study as it takes into account the most prevalent types of ownership in the Jordanian context in the FV studies reviewing auditees in Jordan. New evidence is generated by documenting audit characteristics of Jordan, a developing country, and its institutional environment and compliance with the FV model. The results are useful to regulators and policymakers in regulating the auditing profession and resolving FV audit-related conflicts and issues.

Published: November 2024

This study evaluates the impact of project procurement strategies on supply chain efficiency in the Jordanian construction industry, with vendor relationship management as a mediating variable. The target population was the 25000 construction industry specialists in Jordan. According to purposeful sampling technique and more specifically, stratified random sampling, 454 subjects were asked to complete questionnaires. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was employed for the analysis of data for the test of the hypotheses. This research also revealed that the project procurement strategies which are Just-In-Time, Multiple Sourcing, and Single Sourcing have positive impacts with a statistical significance to the supply chain efficiency dimensions of Demand Forecasting, Supply Chain Integration and Collaboration and Communication. Vendor relationship management was also a partial mediator to these relations. These implications can be summed up for the construction firms and policymakers in Jordan to understand how strategic procurement approach and proper relations with the vendors can improve the performance of the supply chain. This work aims to benefit the academia as it fills a gap in the existing literature by analysing the relationship between procurement strategies, its actors (vendors), and supply chain performance within a developing country environment. The analysis with the help of PLS-SEM enables us to look at both the direct and the indirect effects in such relationships.

The aim of the present study is to explore the risk factors increasing the levels of psycho-emotional stress and burnout in foster carers in the region of Gabrovo. Materials and methods: The study included 63 professional foster carers from the region of Gabrovo. We used a questionnaire designed by the research team, the Parental Burnout Assessment (PBA) and a structured interview. Descriptive statistical methods and nonparametric analysis were conducted with IBM SPSS Statistics Base - v. 25. Results: The main factors that contributed to the difficulties faced by foster parents in providing care were: the child's length of stay in the foster family; the child's age at the time of placement; the support provided by the state agencies, and ongoing training. Additional factors were the foster parents' income and place of residence, the child's current health and age; foster care being provided by couples.br /> Conclusion: Foster care needs to be provided in close collaboration between local authorities, state agencies, and foster carers, with continuous psychological support for both foster parents and foster children.
Ameliorating Robot Execution Failures with Artificial Neural Networks: A Comprehensive Comparative Study
Authors: Atef Gharbi
Published: November 2024

The aim of this study is to investigate how ANNs can be trained on a personalized data set that contains several failure scenarios to predict and prevent execution errors in robotic systems. Three ANN architectures: ANN1 (single hidden layer), ANN2 (two hidden layers) and ANN3 (three hidden layers) were evaluated to determine their effectiveness in distinguishing between normal operating states and various fault conditions such as collisions and obstructions. The performance of the models is rigorously analyzed using several indices, including the average square error (MSE), precision, accuracy and F1 score. The results show that the ANN1 model has a simpler architecture and is more accurate in making predictions than more complex models. This shows that personalized machine learning approaches can make robotic systems safer and more reliable.

FACTORS AFFECTING ATTITUDE OF TEACHERS TOWARDS DEVELOPING COMMUNICATION SKILLS IN ENGLISH AMONG SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
Authors: Raju Dr.T.Sharon , Kumar S.V.Sekhar
Published: November 2024

English language plays a very significant role in the Indian context. It is a language which is rich in literature – humanistic, scientific and technical. Language is basically a means of communication. English in India is used not only for communicating with the outside world, but also for inter-state and intra-state communication. It is one of the most widely spoken languages across the globe, making it a ‘lingua franca’ for international communication. English language helps students interact effectively with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds. Communication skills are very essential for students in their academic career, particularly at secondary level. Good communication skills in English help students articulate their thoughts and ideas effectively. In this context, the researchers felt that English teachers should possess positive attitude and right perceptions towards developing communication skills among their students. The present study is an attempt to explore the factors affecting the attitude of teachers towards developing communication skills in English among their students in secondary schools. The present study used descriptive survey method. The data were collected from the respondents using a questionnaire. The researchers used Stratified Random Sampling technique to select a sample consisting of 90 teachers (40 Headmasters and 50 School Assistants in English) from 40 secondary schools located in Visakhapatnam District of Andhra Pradesh. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The findings of the study revealed that the demographic variables – Gender and Age of teachers have no influence on their attitude towards developing communication skills in English among students at secondary level. However, the location of the school has a significant positive influence on the attitude of teachers towards developing communication skills among the students at secondary level. The study suggested that in-service training programmes are to be conducted for English teachers working in secondary schools at regular intervals of time on the techniques and strategies in developing communication skills in English among their students.
Sociology Of Novels Published In The Post-Independence Period: Rural Perspectives
Authors: Choudhury Dr. Barunjyoti
Published: November 2024

With the progression of urban civilization, human life has increasingly become more complex. In the modern world, the transformation of social life and the profound shifts in human mentality have become inevitable realities. Time itself turned into a combustible force, and naturally, this turbulent period found its reflection in literature. The post-independence era witnessed significant events like the Naxalite movement, the Tebhaga movement, the Liberation War of Bangladesh, and the Vietnam War, which inaugurated a new chapter in Bengali society and literature. In the 1960s, students and youth in West Bengal initiated a bloody struggle to bid farewell to the old political order and embrace a new era. They sought to break societal stagnation and embarked on a path of violent revolution. The ideal that "political power flows from the barrel of a gun" resonated strongly within them. Educated but unemployed youths moved to rural areas to merge with farmers and dismantle the class disparities in society. Their goal was to instill class consciousness and a revolutionary mindset among farmers while liberating themselves from urban middle-class prejudices and aligning with the lower strata of society.
Política pública de alimentação escolar orgânica no Paraná: implementação da lei, cenário de produção agrícola e aspectos comunicacionais
Authors: Ferreira de Andrade Serli , Del Vecchio de Lima Myrian Regina , Muelbert Betina
Published: November 2024

Ofertar alimentação escolar orgânica ou agroecológica nas unidades escolares da rede pública estadual de ensino, de forma progressiva, até que todas sejam contempladas, é o propósito da Lei no. 16.751/2010, do Estado do Paraná. Tal política pública, ao dialogar com os princípios da agroecologia e com os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS), defendidos pela ONU, instiga a observação atenta sobre aspectos de sua implementação, incluindo aspectos contextuais e comunicacionais. Neste artigo, adotamos a premissa de que os fatores que motivaram a efetivação dessa política pública de alimentação escolar não vêm sendo comunicados à sociedade e que a produção não convencional de alimentos no estado precisa ser incentivada e apoiada. A comunicação é compreendida aqui como instrumento de gestão voltada para a sensibilização e conscientização social, com papel de divulgação e utilidade pública acerca das motivações socioambientais e nutricionais que conceberam tal política. Assim, com o objetivo de compreender os processos de implementação e os aspectos de informação e comunicação à comunidade escolar e à sociedade no que diz respeito às razões da adoção da alimentação escolar orgânica no estado do Paraná, realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa com a participação de alguns representantes de três grupos sociais (agentes escolares, representantes governamentais e agricultores familiares). A coleta de dados envolveu a aplicação de questionários e a realização de entrevistas, e sua análise permitiu afirmar, a partir do estágio atual (2023) de implementação da lei em exame, que estratégias de gestão de comunicação não foram aplicadas, de forma a informar e integrar a sociedade aos seus propósitos.

Using Video Interactive Guidance to increase a kinship carer’s self-efficacy and confidence
Authors: Paton Anne-Marie
Published: November 2024

Children are embedded in their relational context and depend on it for their survival and development. However, sometimes this relational context is harmful which can result in a child or young person being placed in care. Children who have experienced neglect or abuse have usually experienced a lack of attunement and intersubjectivity which can lead to developmental/relational trauma. Therefore, attachment-based interventions are recommended for this cohort of children.

Other family members are the preferred alternative carers when children are placed into care and, if suitable, can become kinship carers. However, there is currently a gap in knowledge around kinship care, even though it is the most prevalent alternative care arrangement. Furthermore, there are complexities specific to kinship care.

Video Interaction Guidance is an attachment-based, strengths focused intervention which uses video feedback to micro analyse moments of attuned interactions.

The following paper will discuss a single case study where a kinship carer engaged in a Video Interaction Guidance intervention to increase parental self-efficacy. It demonstrates how video feedback can effectively challenge dominant narratives through focusing on what is already present. In this case study, it led to increased parental self-efficacy and positive outcomes for the children, especially in terms of lowering aggression in one child.

This paper highlights how Video Interaction Guidance can be of benefit to increasing parental self-efficacy and is a suitable attachment-based intervention for school-aged children in kinship care.
Assessing Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) when there is a history of trauma in children and adolescents who live in care – a dimensional rather than categorical approach
Authors: Fava Catherine , Hemnani Khushboo , Manzi Saskia
Published: November 2024

Children and young people in care are much more likely to be diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Children and young people who have experienced trauma, and who live in care struggle with executive functioning skills such as concentration, memory and impulse control.

There is an overlap in the difficulties experienced by children with ADHD or trauma.

Clinicians who provide ADHD assessments for young people living in care often experience pressures to diagnose and treat ADHD to better understand and regulate the child.

A small group of international clinicians and researchers are in the process of writing some clinical guidelines for assessing for ADHD with children and young people who have experience of trauma. The guidelines being developed aim to ignite curiosity and aid thinking rather than be prescriptive.
The impact of temporary housing on health engagement of children and young people - a case series
Authors: Jones Steve , Allen Fran
Published: November 2024

Many young people are diagnosed with long-term health conditions requiring additional medical care throughout their lives. Additionally, many young people are also faced with challenges brought about by living in temporary or unstable housing or accommodation.

The current paper will explore three exemplar case studies to demonstrate the cross-sectionality of how living in temporary or unstable accommodation can impact upon the health engagement of young people with respect to concepts such as medication adherence and appointment attendance.

Cases presented in this paper exemplify significant disruptions to young people’s medication adherence, health care engagement, hospital attendance and emotional wellbeing. Future research is warranted to investigate this link, especially given the current socio-economic climate in terms of the cost of living crisis.
libertad de expresión atropellada: Amenazas y ataques hacia la prensa en las protestas contra Dina Boluarte.
Authors: Huamani Ochoa Kevin Brandon
Published: November 2024

La prensa y la libre expresión son pilares fundamentales de un sistema democrático. El estado y la situación de ambas arroja un diagnóstico sobre la calidad de la democracia y el respeto a los derechos humanos. Tras la llegada de Dina Boluarte al máximo cargo público del país, la presidencia, se suscitaron grandes protestas sociales a nivel nacional en contra de su investidura. El gobierno desplegó contingentes policiales y militares para enfrentar la movilización social donde se cometieron delitos contra los derechos humanos en perjuicio de la población civil. Hombres y mujeres de la prensa no fueron ajenos a esta violencia y reportaron ataques y hostigamiento de parte de efectivos de la Policía y el Ejército cuando desarrollaban sus labores de cobertura informativa en las protestas sociales.
El ensayo busca analizar cómo desde el Estado se ha atropellado la libertad de expresión de los medios de comunicación durante los días de mayor movilización social. La revisión del informe de ataques y hostigamiento a la prensa, más la utilización del sistema legal para restringir la libertad informativa, son síntomas del escenario represivo. Asimismo, profundizar en la libre expresión, su vínculo crucial con los medios de comunicación y el marco legal que exigen para un desempeño enfocado en la ciudadanía por parte de la prensa.

Evaluating thermal storage and airflow dynamics for improved energy efficiency in greenhouse environments
Authors: Saifi Nadia , Belatrache Djamel , Dadamoussa Aicha , Ghedamsi Rebha , Chaich Zineb
Published: November 2024

This study examines how thermal storage beds, particularly gravel, affect the thermal efficiency of tomato-growing greenhouses using 2D numerical modeling in Ansys 2019. The findings reveal that greenhouses equipped with thermal storage beds achieve greater temperature stability, with increases of 2 K during the day and 1.3 K at night. Notably, lowering the gravel bed porosity results in a temperature rise of about 0.9 K in closed greenhouses due to enhanced heat transfer from increased gravel mass and reduced airflow. Airflow patterns show maximum speeds of 0.118 m/s near the walls, with lower speeds observed around the gravel beds, while open greenhouses reach up to 0.3 m/s. Humidity levels are highest near the walls (30.5%) and lowest in the center (27.3%), indicating that decreased porosity significantly affects both humidity and air permeability within the greenhouse environment. Overall, the study highlights the critical role of thermal storage materials in optimizing greenhouse conditions, especially in extreme climates, ultimately benefiting agricultural productivity.

O mapeamento 3D da resistência das rochas desempenha um papel crucial na otimização da perfuração, fornecendo informações detalhadas sobre as propriedades geomecânicas do subsolo, que são essenciais para a otimização da perfuração. Ao criar uma representação tridimensional das variações de resistência da rocha, os engenheiros podem identificar áreas de alta e baixa resistência, permitindo-lhes adaptar técnicas e equipamentos de perfuração a condições geológicas específicas. Esta precisão reduz o risco de falha do equipamento, minimiza a probabilidade de instabilidade do poço e aumenta a eficiência operacional geral. Além disso, compreender a distribuição da resistência das rochas ajuda a prever riscos potenciais de perfuração, como fraturas e falhas, permitindo uma tomada de decisão proativa que pode economizar tempo e recursos. Em última análise, o mapeamento 3D da resistência das rochas não só melhora o desempenho e a segurança da perfuração, mas também contribui para uma extração de recursos mais econômica, otimizando a colocação dos poços e reduzindo o tempo não produtivo durante as campanhas de perfuração. Este estudo apresenta uma abordagem para prever a resistência das rochas no espaço tridimensional usando métodos geoestatísticos. Utilizamos um conjunto de dados, incluindo propriedades geológicas e mecânicas obtidas de vários furos de sondagem no campo. Ao empregar técnicas geoestatísticas avançadas, particularmente ponderação de distância inversa e krigagem ordinária, desenvolvemos um modelo preditivo que interpola espacialmente os valores de resistência da rocha em toda a área modelada.

The technical landfill center TLC in Bechar receives every day an enormous quantity of waste estimated at 120 tons, of which organic matter represents more than 60%. The latter is a beneficial substrate for the production of green energy called biogas. Biogas is a renewable energy source, which can be produced by the methanization process which consists of the decomposition of organic matter in the absence of oxygen, also called anaerobic digestion. The present work consists in the valorization of the biogas produced from household waste of the technical landfill center TLC of the city of Bechar, Algeria. The results obtained in this study are to characterize the physicochemical parameters of the experimental analysis. In particular, the daily quantity of biogas (methanisable waste) and that of the electrical energy produced. The application of this work can fill an energy deficit compared to the energy demand in the summer period (air conditioning).

The aim of this study is to improve the performance of a heat exchanger (triplex tube). To achieve this aim, the contact surfaces were increased by lessening the thickness of the fins in the previous model. This provides additional fins and enables heat distribution throughout the heat exchanger with the new T-shaped fins and using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation tool. Two-dimensional numerical models of heat exchangers (triplex tube) filled with PCM were developed. The effects of various fin geometric properties, including length, thickness, and width, on the liquid fraction and temperature were examined, along with the impact of temperature (HTF) on melting time. The proposed model in this study validated with previous experimental and numerical studies, as the simulation results provide a compromise solution. The results demonstrated that the novel T-shaped fin configuration in a triplex tube exhibits superior heat distribution, with a melting time ratio that is 33.5% lower compared to conventional fins. The fin area was reduced by 36 mm², allowing for an increase in the amount of PCM. These findings provide a strong foundation for further research and the development of storage units. Additionally, there is potential to incorporate a rotational system into the technique to enhance energy storage.
Ethical Orientations Toward Critical Post-humanist Participatory Arts-Based Research: Care, Reciprocity, and Respect
Authors: Lewis Brandi
Published: November 2024

Post-humanist participatory arts-based research (PABR) ethics of care raise critical concerns for how researchers orient themselves toward their projects and participants and seek to enact research with care, reciprocity, and respect. From a literature review and five case studies of PABR, I characterize the methodologies that embody critical participatory arts-based research based in values of care, reciprocity, and respect. Further, I critique my participatory visual inquiry project from a post-humanist PABR lens and further envision the co-production of knowledge with human and non-human, emergent participants as acts of care, reciprocity, and respect. In doing so, I open my research to rhizomatic and relational understandings of inquiry that foster alternative knowledges and ontologies about doing research in a community of emergent participants while questioning the ethical limitations of their unknowing and non-consenting participation.
(AR)E WE?: Building Solidarity Through Differences Using AR-Based Participatory Visual Inquiry
Authors: Park Ye Sul
Published: November 2024

“We Are” is a well-known phrase that usually comes before “Penn State,” especially at football games. It has been symbolic of desegregation in athletics as The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) football players refused to play racially segregated games back in 1946. Then, who does “we” represent and who belongs to the “we” in contemporary times? How is “we” defined, and what assumptions are embedded in the notion of “we”? In this article, I critically reflect on these questions by demystifying the homogeneous “we” and illuminating underrepresented voices within the Penn State community through the participatory visual inquiry project, (AR)E WE? Centering the public sculpture on campus, WE ARE, as a site for artistic intervention and reflexivity using augmented reality (AR), I aim to revitalize the spirit of “We Are,” which symbolizes diversity, equity, and inclusion with a lens of solidarity through difference.

Digital economy and industrial structure upgrading are the keys to realizing low-carbon economic development. Based on the data of 30 provinces in China from 2013 to 2020, this study constructs a PVAR model. It analyzes the dynamic relationship between the digital economy, industrial structure upgrading, and green logistics development through impulse response and variance decomposition. It conducts a comparative study of the eastern, central, and western regions. The study shows that from 2013 to 2020, China's green logistics will rise steadily, characterized by "high in the east and low in the central and western regions.". From a national point of view, industrial structure upgrading, digital economy, and green logistics have strong coordination, and they influence each other. From the perspective of the three regions, the digital economy and industrial structure upgrading in the eastern and central regions have achieved better-coordinated development, and both have a good role in promoting the development of green logistics. The upgrading of industrial structure and the digital economy in the Western region have failed to achieve better-coordinated development, and both have no obvious impact on the development of green logistics in the Western region. Therefore, it is proposed to accelerate the development of the digital economy, reasonably promote the upgrading of industrial structure, and promote the countermeasures for the green development of the logistics industry.

In terms of psychological adaptation, international students have factor averages higher than the norm and emotional problems; At the level of social and cultural adaptation, there are challenges in terms of ideological concepts, learning, and daily communication. The influencing factors include individual traits such as personality, language, cultural background, as well as environmental factors such as educational management, social support, and cultural distance. Based on the humanistic concept, the adaptation can be promoted through the establishment of cross-cultural psychological counseling, community organizations, "one gang one" mode and other strategies. After implementation, the psychological and socio-cultural adaptation has achieved remarkable results. It is necessary to implement the guarantee strategy from the construction of teachers and campus culture to promote the development of education for students studying abroad.
