When and Why Do Users Trust AI in the Kitchen? A Hybrid Modelling Approach to the Adoption of AI-Assisted Cooking
Authors: Califano Giovanbattista , Zhang Tianyi , Spence Charles
Published: November 2024

This study explores how users perceive the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in various culinary scenarios. Using a hybrid model that combines Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling and a Zero-Inflated Poisson Regression Mixture Model, the research examines the influence of factors including the perceived accuracy of AI systems, general attitudes toward AI, and AI anxiety, on people’s trust in AI cooking applications—and how this trust, in turn, affects their intention to adopt such systems. Analysis of the data from 380 UK participants revealed two distinct consumer groups identified by the hybrid model: a small group of Engagers, who demonstrate openness to adopting AI-assisted cooking tools, and a much larger group of Avoiders, who refrain from using such technologies. Trust is shown to be a pivotal factor, with participants exhibiting higher trust levels (+ 1 SD) being 5.44 times more likely to be Engagers than Avoiders. However, adoption was found to be very much scenario-specific: AI is most readily accepted in cooking contexts that prioritize analytical and efficient solutions, such as using and combining leftover ingredients, but is less favoured in socially meaningful situations, such as hosting a dinner party. The results also reveal a demographic profile of those more open to AI cooking assistance, suggesting that younger, educated individuals are more likely to engage. This study contributes to understanding consumer dynamics in AI culinary applications, highlighting areas of opportunity for AI as a practical kitchen assistant and underscoring the challenges in achieving broad user trust.
Relocating the cinematic experience: The reshaping of viewing/ screening space and the new metaphor of screen
Authors: Liu Tongwei
Published: November 2024

The digital revolution heralds the advent of the “écran global” era. The transformation of media has led to the miniaturization of screens and films (or videos). The micro-videos have emerged as one of the predominant forms of contemporary audiovisual expression. The key characteristics of traditional cinema have been redefined, leading to a “relocation” of the cinematic experience—reactivated and reproposed elsewhere than the place in which it was formed, with alternate devices (such as mobile digital apparatuses) and in new environments (such as the peripersonal space). This new form of experience is characterized by two distinct features. Firstly, the micro-videos, by virtue of being presented within peripersonal space, become within-reach. Secondly, the micro-videos, displayed on touchscreens, permit a dual haptic experience. On this basis, a new metaphor regarding screens is proposed—the “skin-screen”. The trajectory of the cinematic experience traces a multi-directional “topography of post-cinema”, aiming to provide a clearer delineation of the “state of post-cinema” and to facilitate more pertinent philosophical reflection.
A cognitive framework for becoming deliberately conscious
Authors: Katyal Sucharit
Published: November 2024

Meditation training is widely used to enhance mental well-being. However, a mechanistic cognitive science framework for understanding how it transforms mental processing is still needed. The act of practicing meditation involves trying to be deliberately conscious of a target content. This requires monitoring the contents of one’s consciousness and regulating them in favor of the target. I propose, this involves a metacognitive template of the target being present in consciousness, which when compared to the actual conscious content generates a “metacognitive prediction error” (MPE). MPE leads to efficient regulation of conscious content by helping fine-tune the frequency of monitoring, downstream unconscious processing, and the metacognitive template itself. The proposed framework parsimoniously explains existing neuroscientific findings on meditation and generates testable hypotheses.

Antimicrobial resistance is a critical worldwide issue that affects both humans and animals. Antimicrobial resistance in microorganisms has been associated to the indiscriminate use of antibiotics in livestock and poultry. Bacterial antimicrobial resistance is witnessing a rapid rise in both human and animal health sector. Still antimicrobial resistance patterns in Nepal are poorly documented, with only a few studies on bacterial prevalence and antimicrobial resistance pattern have been done. This study characterized and provided antimicrobial resistance status of bacteria from raw meat sold in Kathmandu valley. This study was conducted with an objective to find the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli from raw meat sold in Kathmandu valley. The cross-sectional study was conducted from February to April 2022 at Nepalese Farming Institute, Dillibazar, Kathmandu. A total of 100 raw meat samples, chicken (n= 60), pork (n=20) and buff (n=20) were collected from different retail shops. The meat samples were minced and enriched in M-Staph broth and MacConkey broth at 37°C for 24 h. The suspension was sub-cultured on Mannitol salt agar and MacConkey agar. The bacterial isolates were identified on the basis of colony morphology, Gram’s staining reaction and biochemical tests. Antibiotic susceptibility pattern of bacterial isolates were determined by modified Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method according to Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Out of 100 meat samples, 162 bacterial isolates were detected, where E. coli 51.85% (n=84) was the most prevalent bacteria followed by S. aureus 48.15% (n=78). Majority of E. coli isolates (63.09%) were resistant to tetracycline and most of S. aureus isolates (37.1%) were resistant to gentamicin. Multi-drug resistance was higher in E. coli (51.1%) than S. aureus (23.07%). Therefore controlled use of antibiotics in all sectors should be implemented and proper policy and regulations should be formulated on meat handling.

Published: November 2024

The low weight, high strength, and durability of steel-concrete composite construction have made it quite popular worldwide. However, it is not commonly used in Nepal. For the country, avoiding composite construction when it is economically viable is a great loss. Using composite materials is of particular interest due to their potential to improve performance through rather small changes in manufacturing and construction technologies. Steel concrete composite construction means the concrete slab is connected to the composite beam with the help of shear connectors so that they act as a single unit. In this paper we intend to compare the parameters like storey drift, time period, deflections, etc. between composite and RC structures for 6, 10 and 15 stories regular and irregular buildings situated in earthquake zone V. ETABS software was used for the analysis and linear static method, linear time history method and static pushover method were performed. The results are compared and we found out that composite constructions are more suitable in multi- storied buildings compared to RC structures.

Authors: Adhikari Raju , Dhungel Suresh , Poudel Bharat R
Published: November 2024

The importance of communicating scientific knowledge was realized very early in the developed countries. Today most universities and educational institutions have devised science and journalism courses and use innovative approaches to increase the understanding and application of science knowledge for access to a general audience. The exponential growth of information technology and growing interests >90% seeking science related information in social, news and print media has helped science communication flourish in developed countries. On the other hand, in the developing countries science communication is still not a priority. Of various S&T institutions, National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST) stands out for taking major initiative. The advancement of communication technology and changing dynamics of social media due to internet, Facebook and google access has helped Nepal to raise social awareness but providing evidenced based information remains a low priority. The chapter attempts to review the history of science education and communication in Nepal and the role of Nepalese media and global media trends. The information presented is based on published and unpublished literature and feedback from S&T institutions and schools, policymakers, school teachers, students, parents and community leaders. A list of Key performance indicators (KPIs) such as funding source, teachers’ availability, students’ enrolments, resource availability and development trends of the science education and community science awareness program in regional and remote areas are discussed.

Published: November 2024

A simple root vegetable (Daucus carota), often called as carrot, is usually conical or cylindrical in shape. It has a great medicinal value and different health benefits. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of starch coating on shelf-life and biochemical properties of carrot. Total soluble solid (TSS) and titrable acidity (TA) was measured by hand refractometer method. The carrot treated with calcium chloride was more acidic 0.72 (±0.075) than distilled water 0.46 (±0.086) and starch 0.48 (±0.074) at 10 days after storage. Total soluble solid was found maximum at 10 days after storage (11.9 °Brix). As measured by spectrophotometer, carrot coated with starch had considerably high β-carotene content (21.78 mg/100 g) as compared to calcium chloride (17.39 mg/100 g) and distilled water (17.19 mg/100 g). Highest physiological weight loss was exhibited by calcium chloride as compared to distilled water and starch. Shelf-life of carrot was shorter in calcium chloride as compared to distilled water and starch; longest shelf-life was exhibited by starch coated carrot.

Published: November 2024

Reproductive health rights guarantee that individuals can procreate freely, choosing when and how often to do so, and that they can have fulfilling and safe sexual relationships. This study focuses on the knowledge and practices of women in the riverine area with regard to reproductive health rights. By empowering women to make decisions about the number of children they want, how many to have, and how to use contraception, this study contributes to population control. Focus groups and case studies were used to perform a descriptive study with 103 women in the reproductive age range of 18 to 49 years old living in a riverine location in the Sonitpur district of Assam, India. The bulk of the 103 respondents were 18–27 years old, were in this age range. The majority of them lacked basic knowledge about reproductive health and rights and were illiterate. Additionally, the women don't use the family planning services that the primary health centers offer. As a result, women in Assamese riverine areas possessed very little knowledge and practiced few reproductive health rights, which led to an imbalance in population control.

The rising interest in sustainable energy sources has spotlighted biodiesel as a promising alternative to fossil fuels. Avocado seed waste, rich in vegetable oil, presents a potential feedstock for biodiesel production. However, optimizing the extraction process to maximize oil yield and quality is crucial. This study addresses the knowledge gap concerning the impact of drying time and solvent type on oil extraction efficiency from avocado seeds. Here, we show the effects of varying drying times (2, 3, and 4 hours) and using two solvents (96% ethanol and isopropyl alcohol) on the oil yield and quality using Soxhlet extraction. Results indicate increased drying time correlates with reduced moisture content, with values of 79.94%, 63.17%, and 47.39% for 2, 3, and 4 hours, respectively. Comparatively, isopropyl alcohol exhibited a higher fatty acid content (0.718%) than 96% ethanol. The density of oil extracted with 96% ethanol (1.34 g/ml) after 3 hours of drying surpassed that of isopropyl alcohol. These findings suggest that drying time and solvent type significantly influence the extraction efficiency and quality of oil from avocado seeds, highlighting their potential as a viable biodiesel feedstock.

La gestión de la felicidad (GF) se ha convertido en un desafío crucial en el entorno laboral actual, especialmente en lo que respecta a la retención y motivación del talento humano, así como en el fortalecimiento del compromiso en redes profesionales. Este estudio investiga cómo la comunicación de factores de GF influye en el compromiso digital de los usuarios (CDU) de LinkedIn. Se analizaron 1.000 publicaciones de 10 grandes empresas latinoamericanas mediante un análisis de contenido, codificando la presencia de seis factores de GF y evaluando el CDU a través de sus dimensiones: recomendaciones, comentarios y contenido compartido. Además, se implementó un modelo de regresión binomial negativa para determinar los efectos estadísticos de estos factores. Los resultados del estudio revelan que el compromiso del capital humano y el clima organizacional tienen un impacto positivo significativo en todas las métricas de CDU analizadas. Sin embargo, se observó que la responsabilidad social corporativa tuvo un efecto negativo en recomendaciones y contenido compartido. El emprendimiento interno mostró un efecto positivo en recomendaciones y comentarios, mientras que la innovación tecnológica no presentó efectos significativos. Interesantemente, las imágenes resultaron ser más efectivas que los videos para generar CDU en la plataforma. Este estudio contribuye al campo de la comunicación corporativa y GF al demostrar la importancia de humanizar las marcas en redes sociales profesionales, evidenciando cómo el contenido centrado en los empleados genera mayor resonancia en LinkedIn. Además, revela que la comunicación efectiva sobre clima organizacional positivo puede aumentar el CDU, reflejando las preferencias de las generaciones millennial y Z por culturas de trabajo saludables.

Published: November 2024

Las marcas de medios tradicionales y nativos digitales compiten desde hace décadas con un conjunto heterogéneo de actores, lo que contribuye a cuestionar su liderazgo periodístico, autoridad y legitimidad pública. Al mismo tiempo, el actual sistema de medios, híbrido y disruptivo, ofrece a estas marcas diversas oportunidades para recuperar su centralidad como medios de referencia y ofrecer garantías frente a las amenazas de tipo desinformativo. Este contexto resulta de interés para investigar la presencia y liderazgo conversacional de los citados medios referenciales en X (Twitter), a partir de una aproximación empírica cualitativa y cuantitativa sustentada en el Análisis de Redes Sociales (ARS). Este artículo analiza así las métricas de actividad, agenda temática, capacidad de enganche y seguimiento evidenciadas durante un año por veintidós medios españoles en la citada red social. Los resultados evidencian por primera vez en la literatura científica en qué medida las marcas mediáticas referenciales capitalizan el debate público digital de actualidad. Las conclusiones explican esta circunstancia distinguiendo el peso o liderazgo conversacional de estos medios en la agenda política y en temáticas relacionadas con el entretenimiento a nivel estatal y global. El artículo contribuye así a visibilizar y comprender tipo de estrategia y liderazgo de las grandes marcas mediáticas en redes sociales en lo relativo a los temas principales de interés del público y a su capacidad para mediar e influir ante fuentes y audiencias hiperconectadas.

This research examines the newsmaking practices followed by local journalists in the Colombian Caribbean Region when covering information related to local administrations. It also explores the practices of communication officials in the Office of the Mayor, focusing on how they inform both citizens and journalists in the region. The data collection method involved semi-structured interviews with sixteen press and television journalists from the Caribbean Region, as well as with three communication professionals in charge of local administrations in Barranquilla, Santa Marta, and Cartagena. Subsequently, a thematic analysis was performed to identify patterns in the transcripts of these interviews. The topics discussed with journalists included the number of people covering local news in the newsroom; sources of information; criteria for selecting published information, and the presence of censorship or self-censorship in reporting on local management. For the communications professionals in the Offices of the Mayor, the topics covered the mission of their office; criteria for publishing information; channels used for disseminating information to citizens and journalists; the significance of the Transparency and Access to Public Information Law for their office, and the budget allocated for media advertising. The results revealed that censorship and self-censorship occur among journalists when reporting on local administrations, particularly when scrutinizing their management. For those in charge of communication in the respective Offices of the Mayor, the directives from each are definitive in producing information. Both situations prevent citizens from receiving complete, transparent, and good quality information, which is detrimental to democracy

Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) Empowered Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI): A Paradigm Shift in Supply Chain Efficiency
Authors: Mhaskey Sanjay Vijay
Published: November 2024

This article explores how Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) can revolutionise Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI) models. VMI is a supply chain approach where vendors manage customer inventory levels. However, traditional VMI models face challenges in data sharing, integration, real-time access, security, and enforcing service agreements. To overcome these limitations, this paper suggests using BaaS to implement VMI with blockchain technology. The utilisation of BaaS in VMI processes allows organisations to utilise blockchain’s attributes, including trustless collaboration, real-time data access, heightened security, data integrity, immutability, and automation through smart contracts. The article explains how BaaS platforms offer streamlined provisioning, easy configuration, rapid member onboarding, and seamless integration with existing systems. Furthermore, it highlights the benefits of using BaaS to enhance supply chain efficiency by facilitating smooth collaboration among VMI stakeholders. In addition to these benefits, the proposed solution emphasises the use of built-in functions within each partner’s ERP/supply chain/enterprise applications, combined with blockchain integration capability, to establish a comprehensive end-to-end VMI solution. Moreover, the article provides a conceptual model of the solution that covers an end-to-end VMI process. It also provides guidelines for selecting a suitable BaaS provider tailored to VMI implementation. Through these contributions, the article proposes an innovative VMI model built upon BaaS foundations, effectively addressing the inefficiencies of traditional VMI, and ushering in a new era of optimised supply chain performance.

Published: November 2024

The expanding elderly population demands special attention, including health monitoring. Blood pressure is an important health indicator for the elderly and should be checked on a regular basis to avoid complications. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 1.13 billion people worldwide were diagnosed with hypertension in 2015, which equates to one in every three people. Because of the difficulties in getting to hospitals, the elderly do not constantly monitor their blood pressure. Even while measuring at home, people may neglect to document the results. This paper presents the development of an IoT-based blood pressure monitoring system for the elderly that utilizes the MPX5700AP sensor and can display and store measurements via Blynk and Telegram. Data and information collection, requirement identification, system design, device assembly, implementation, system testing, and assessment are all part of the approach. The test results indicate that the system can precisely detect blood pressure. Thus, this technology can assist the elderly by automatically capturing blood pressure measurements.

Dalam era digital saat ini, teknologi Augmented Reality (AR) telah menjadi inovasi dominan di berbagai bidang, terutama dalam gim. Gim berlatar belakang sejarah dapat menjadi alat yang efektif untuk memperkenalkan dan menghidupkan kembali cerita masa lalu bagi para pemain. Namun, ada tantangan dalam menyajikan konten sejarah yang menarik karena kurangnya keterlibatan pemain. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji  penerapan AR dalam pengembangan industri gim berlatar belakang sejarah. Kajian akan dilakukan pada literatur-literatur yang membahas tentang gim yang berlatarkan sejarah dan memanfaatkan AR. Artikel yang dikaji dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 20 artikel  jurnal nasional dan internasional yang didapatkan melalui  aplikasi  Publish or  Perish dan Google Scholar. Berdasarkan hasil analisis didapatkan metode implementasi AR yang sering digunakan adalah marker based (90%), markerless (5%), dan kombinasi marker based-markerless (5%). Sedangkan objek AR yang sering ditampilkan yaitu Bangunan sejarah (45%). Kemudian lokasi pemindaian yang paling disukai yaitu offsite atau dapat diakses dimana saja (75%). Maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan AR memiliki potensi besar untuk dikembangkan dalam proses pengenalan sejarah secara modern melalui sebuah gim.

Perkembangan teknologi web telah menghadirkan berbagai framework front-end dengan karakteristik berbeda, namun belum ada penelitian yang secara khusus membandingkan kinerja framework ReactJS, VueJS, dan Blade Templating Engine dalam konteks platform terintegrasi. Penelitian ini menganalisis perbandingan kinerja ketiga teknologi tersebut dalam pengembangan talent pool platform guna memberikan rekomendasi pemilihan teknologi yang sesuai berdasarkan karakteristik proyek. Studi komparatif dilakukan dengan mengembangkan tiga modul terintegrasi menggunakan metode Scrum, terdiri dari Sistem Informasi Jobseeker dengan Blade, Modul Administrasi Keuangan dengan ReactJS, dan Platform Ujian-Pelatihan Coding dengan VueJS. Pengukuran kinerja dilakukan menggunakan Google Lighthouse dan Chrome DevTools Performance tab yang menganalisis aspek kinerja, aksesibilitas, praktik terbaik, dan SEO pada ketiga modul. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa setiap teknologi memiliki keunggulan berbeda, di mana Blade memperlihatkan keunggulan dalam kecepatan rendering awal dan SEO, VueJS menunjukkan superioritas dalam responsivitas dan interaktivitas pengguna, sementara ReactJS membuktikan keandalan dalam stabilitas tata letak untuk aplikasi kompleks. Hasil penelitian memberikan panduan bahwa pemilihan teknologi front-end harus mempertimbangkan kebutuhan spesifik proyek, di mana Blade sesuai untuk aplikasi berbasis konten statis, VueJS untuk aplikasi yang membutuhkan interaktivitas tinggi, dan ReactJS untuk aplikasi enterprise dengan komponen dinamis kompleks.

Brechas de género en la carrera académica. Una propuesta de medición
Authors: Brito Peña Alejandra , Casanova Cruz Daniel
Published: November 2024

En Chile y el mundo, las brechas de género en el contexto laboral de la profesión académica han recibido una atención creciente, en especial luego de que la pandemia del covid-19 develó efectos divergentes según el género. En el contexto laboral universitario, la noción de “carrera académica” se ancla en el concepto “meritocracia” y, por tanto, pretende ser neutral a los factores adscriptivos. Sin embargo, está bien documentada la existencia de redes de poder y de micropolítica que afectan negativamente a las carreras académicas de las mujeres. Esta investigación busca contribuir con una metodología de medición de las brechas de género en la carrera académica y en la recompensa salarial asociada, a partir del estudio del caso de una universidad chilena. La importancia radica en la posibilidad de visibilizar y objetivar las brechas, y proporcionar un método replicable para medirlas y, eventualmente, trabajar en su superación. Se utiliza un modelo de análisis de supervivencia para medir las brechas de velocidad en la carrera académica y se propone un indicador para medir la brecha salarial asociada al avance en las jerarquías académicas. Las manifiestas desigualdades se analizan desde el enfoque de las capacidades de Amartya Sen.
