Wireless Interference Source Localization in Diverse Terrains: A C/N0 Weighted Clustering Centroids Approach
Authors: Tian Ruixia , Qi Xiaogang , Yu Baoguo , Chen Chengxiao
Published: December 2023

The traditional methods for interference source localization often overlook actual terrain factors. In environments such as mountainous or urban areas, deviations in predicted positions occur due to factors like terrain and building obstructions. This discrepancy renders it challenging to select the most suitable suppression strategy for mitigating the impact of interference sources. This paper addresses the wireless radio wave propagation losses influenced by the superimposition of interference sources in varying terrain environments. It introduces path loss models adaptable to different terrains and conducts simulation and comparative analyses of signal losses in mountainous, urban, and plain terrains. Within the monitoring range, the paper proposes a method for partitioning anomalous areas based on simulated signal data and presents an interference source localization approach using the Carrier-to-Noise ratio (C/N0) weighted clustering centroids. The method involves setting thresholds for the C/N0 difference between interference and normal situations in different terrains, enabling the selection of effective receivers for centroid-weighted localization. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach across different terrains, monitoring ranges, and interference source quantities.

Published: December 2023

With the rapid development of Internet of Vehicles (IoV) technology, computing performance, and privacy protection have become increasingly crucial for IoV terminals (IoVT). To address privacy issues and poor computational performance in analyzing users' private data in IoV, this paper proposes a federated learning model for classification of IoVT Using connection records (FLM-ICR). In the horizontally federated learning client-server architecture, FLM-ICR uses an improved multi-layer perceptron and logistic regression network as the model backbone, employs the federated momentum gradient algorithm as the local model training optimizer, and utilizes the federated Gaussian differential privacy algorithm to protect the security of the computation process. The experiment used a confusion matrix to evaluate the model classification performance, explored the impact of the level of collaboration between clients on model performance, demonstrated the model's applicability in imbalanced data distribution, and verified the effectiveness of federated learning for model training. The accuracy, precision, recall, specificity, and F1 score of FLM-ICR are 0.795, 0.735, 0.835, 0.75, and 0.782, respectively, which is better than the existing research methods and weighs classification performance and privacy security, making it suitable for IoV Computation and analysis of private data.

Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett), a significant pest of fruit and vegetable in tropical and subtropical regions, is influenced by short-term high temperatures in its development and reproduction. Vitellogenin (Vg) is an essential precursor of yolk protein formation in eggs and plays a vital role in ovarian development of insect. Interfering Z. cucurbitae vitellogenin receptor (ZcVgR) gene in short-term high temperature background decreases the fecundity of female adults, while the transcription level of the ZcVg3 gene increases. To elucidate the reproductive function of the ZcVg3 gene and the synergistic relationship among ZcVgs genes in short-term high temperature, this study injected siRNA to interfere ZcVg3 gene after subjecting Z. cucurbitae to a 1 h treatment at 45°C and 25°C.
RESULTS: The expression of the ZcVg3 gene was suppressed, leading to a down-regulation of ZcVgR gene and an up-regulation of ZcVg1 gene. Silencing ZcVg3 gene after a 1 h treatment at 45°C resulted in a reduction of approximately 84.7% and 75.9% in the fecundity and spawning days of female adults compared to control check. The development rate of their ovaries and ovarian diameter significantly decreased, and their lifespan was reduced by 71%.
CONCLUSIONS: ZcVg3 gene plays a crucial role in the reproduction of Z. cucurbitae in short-term high temperature background. The results of this study provide potential targets for the development of RNAi-based techniques for controlling Z. cucurbitae.

Authors: Miao Jingjing , Niu Lu , Zhang Wanggang , Li Xiaohong , Wang Jian , Liu Yiming
Published: December 2023

Photocatalytic ethanol conversion into high-valuable chemicals while realizing hydrogen production is attractive and challenging. In this study, flower-like, porous flower-like, and net-like CdS nanostructures were prepared by solvothermal technique and used to study the effect of morphology on ethanol conversion. It was found by characterization that the one-dimensional net-like CdS had the best crystallinity and the largest specific surface area, which provided more active sites and possessed superior ethanol conversion activity. The ethanol conversion was 4.7% in 10 h with a hydrogen production rate of 1.32 mmol g− 1 h− 1 and an acetaldehyde (AA) production rate of 1.96 mmol g− 1 h− 1 with a selectivity of 51%. In comparison, 2,3-butanediol(2,3-BDO) was produced at a rate of 0.61 mmol g− 1 h− 1 with a selectivity of 32%. The pore structure of one-dimensional net-like CdS with predominantly large mesopores showed better selectivity for 2,3-BDO, indicating that the pore size of the catalyst plays an important role in the C-C coupling reaction. On this basis, the catalysts were modified by depositing Pt nanoparticles on net-like CdS. Both photocatalytic ethanol conversion performances of the catalysts were substantially improved.

Published: December 2023

Changes in the gut microbial assemblages associated with dietary changes are still poorly explored, but may have profound effects in the life-history and physiology of fishes. Here, we have investigated the influence of the diet type on the autochthonous gut microbiomes of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata). We conducted a 60-day assay in which a dietary shift from commercial to a diet based only on shrimp, followed by determination of gut microbial assemblages using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. The most prevalent species belonged to the genus Ralstonia, present in all samples, but was enhanced after the switch to shrimp diet. This seems to be a key genus whose functional relevance needs still to be unveiled given the wide distribution in samples with marine origin. Our results also pointed that nor the diet or the environmental microbiota (i.e. present in the water tanks) played a paramount role in the structure of the gut microbiome at the long-term. After 40 days, the gut microbial communities under both dietary treatments were very similar, being some species of the genera Ralstonia, Paraburkholderia, Fulvimonas, Pseudomonas and Cutibacteriumpart of the core-microbiome conserved at similar abundances over time. These results may challenge the common wisdom that diet is the primary determinant of gut microbiome composition in the long-term. In the era of the search for alternatives to fish-based ingredients in the aquafeed sector, and considering the paramount role of the gut microbiota in the fish health, this work offers valuable information for feed manufacturers to explore different nutritional strategies for aquaculture production, as long as the impact of the feeds on the physiology and quality of the fish are also tested.
Excluded from sickness insurance: rejected sickness cash benefit claims after 180 days of sick leave in the Swedish rehabilitation chain
Authors: Lidwall Ulrik
Published: December 2023

Purpose—to study factors predicting rejection of prolonged sickness cash benefit claims among persons on compensated sick leave for 180 days. Methods—all 246 872 claims for employed persons on sick leave recorded in the Swedish official statistics register between 2018.01.01 − 2021.06.30 were analysed. Claim outcomes were evaluated using logistic regression with odds-ratios recalculated to relative risks (RR) with 95-per cent confidence intervals (CI), adjusted for sociodemographic, work and health related factors. Results—Overall 46 611 (23 per cent) of the claims were rejected with slightly lower rates among women (0.98; 0.97 − 0.99). Musculoskeletal diseases had the highest rates (RR 1.41; CI 1.35 − 1.47) followed by injuries (1.32; 1.27 − 1.36) and symptoms (1.29; 1.26 − 1.33). Mental disorders also had above average rates (1.13; 1.10 − 1.17). The lowest rates were found among pregnancy related diagnoses (0.22; 0.20 − 0.26) and neoplasms (0.30; 0.30 − 0.31). Higher rates were also found among immigrants (1.19; 1.18 − 1.21), those with only primary education (1.05; 1.04 − 1.07) and blue collar workers (RR:s around 1.06). The regional variation was substantial (RR-range 0.48 − 1.82). Rejection rates declined substantially from 2021 due to changes in sickness insurance regulations. Conclusions—High rejection rates were found for complex diagnoses and among groups with precarious positions at the labour market. Systematic unexplained differences in rates were identified between geographic regions.
Student Satisfaction Survey on Public Health Practice Courses Based on Open Collaborative Practice Teaching Reform Integrating Medicine, Teaching, and Research in Yunnan province,China
Authors: Xu Fang , Deng Wenhang , Zhao Tiantian , Yang Shaoxiong , Yan Tong , Chen Ying , Wang Qi
Published: December 2023

Objective
To address the inadequacy of practical work skills among graduates in Public Health and Preventive Medicine, this study implemented an innovative "open collaborative practice teaching model integrating medicine, teaching, and research." It analyzed the changes in student satisfaction before and after three years of practical teaching reform, offering strategic suggestions aimed at strengthening the vocational skills of future public health workers through reform in practical teaching.
Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted from 2020 to 2023 to survey student satisfaction with practical teaching. The subjects were 312 undergraduate students of Preventive Medicine from a medical university in Yunnan Province, China. Satisfaction scores, satisfaction indices, complaint indices, and methods such as cluster analysis, factor analysis, and SWOT analysis were used to assess changes in student satisfaction since the implementation of practical teaching reforms and to propose more targeted practical teaching reform strategies.
Results
The survey was divided into baseline, mid-term, and end-term assessments. The average satisfaction scores over three years were 4.30, 4.29, and 4.36, respectively. Cluster analysis revealed that students with lower satisfaction were mainly dissatisfied with the content and methods of teaching. Factor analysis indicated that teaching content, methods, and effectiveness were the three most influential factors on student satisfaction. SWOT analysis suggested that student expectations for practical teaching might increase over time, necessitating continuous updates and improvements in teaching strategies to meet their needs.
Conclusion
The study shows that teaching content, methods, and effectiveness are key drivers of student satisfaction. Although the current open collaborative practice teaching strategy integrating medicine, teaching, and research is effective, it requires continuous adjustment to meet student needs more comprehensively. Educators should consider integrating new technologies, continuously explore pathways for collaborative education in medicine, teaching, and research, and continually assess and adjust teaching strategies to ensure alignment with technological advancements and student needs, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of practical teaching and student satisfaction.
Associations between leaf developmental stability, canalization and phenotypic plasticity in an architectural perspective
Authors: Wang Shu , Zhou Dao-Wei
Published: December 2023

The associations among developmental stability, canalization and phenotypic plasticity have received increasingly more attention, yet with rare direct evidence. Architectural analysis may provide a more powerful approach to addressing this issue. To investigate the relationships among the three mechanisms in architectural perspective, we subjected plants of Abutilon theophrasti to three densities, measured and calculated fluctuating asymmetry (FA), coefficients of variation (CV) and plasticity (PI) of three leaf traits, to analyze the correlations among these variables. As density increased, mean leaf size, petiole length and angle of most layers and mean leaf FA of some layers decreased (at both stages), CV of petiole angle increased (at day 50), and PI of petiole length and angle across all layers decreased (at day 70); leaf FA and CV of traits generally increased with higher layers at all densities. At both stages, there were more positive correlations between FA and CV at lower vs. high densities; at day 50, little correlation of plasticity with FA or CV was found; at day 70, more positive correlations between FA and PI occurred for response to high vs. low density than for response to medium vs. low density, and more positive correlations between CV and PI occurred at lower vs. high densities. Results suggested that developmental instability, decreased canalization and plasticity can be cooperative and the relationships between decreased canalization and plasticity are more likely to be positive if decreased canalization is due to vibrant growth rather than stressful effects. The relationships of plasticity with developmental instability differed from its relationship with decreased canalization in the way of variation. Decreased canalization should be more beneficial for possible plasticity in the future, while canalization may be the outcome of already-expressed plasticity.
Causal relationships between rhinosiusitis and gastroesophageal reflux disease： a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization study
Authors: Chen Fuhai , Zhang Jin , Xie Jing , Fu Xiao
Published: December 2023

Background
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is associated with acute and chronic rhinosinusitis (ARS/CRS), although the causal relationship between them is not clear.
Methods
We conducted a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomized study to investigate the causal effects between GERD and rhinosinusitis (RS). The data for GERD and RS were obtained from large sample size genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with each exposure were considered instrumental variables in this study. We conducted a causal effect analysis using the inverse-variance weighted (IVW)，Weighted median，MR Egger，Simple mode and Weighted mode methods. The inverse-variance weighted and MR - Egger methods were used for the heterogeneity analysis. The MR - Egger model method was adopted for Pleiotropic effects.
Results
MR analysis showed that GERD had a statistically significant causal effect on ARS (IVW, OR = 1.324, 95% CI 1.177-1.490, p <0.001) and CRS (IVW, OR = 1.365, 95% CI 1.185-1.572, p <0.001).MR analysis showed that CRS had a statistically significant causal effect on GERD (IVW, OR = 1.033, 95% CI 1.009-1.056, p =0.006). However, the MR-Egger model revealed the evidence of horizontal pleiotropy for the causal effect of CRS on GERD (Egger-intercept=0.007, p=0.032). In addition，we did not observe a causal effect of ARS on GERD (IVW, OR = 1.019, 95% CI 0.986-1.053, p=0.269).
Conclusions
We confirmed the causal effect of GRED on RS, while no causal effect of RS on GERD was found. These studies are expected to provide high-quality causal evidence for the pathogenesis of RS and GERD, and additional ideas for their primary prevention and treatment.

Published: December 2023

Backgroud:
The prevalence of multiple nosocomial infections (MNIs) is on the rise, however, there remains a limited comprehension regarding the associated risk factors, cumulative risk, probability of occurrence, and impact on length of stay (LOS).
Method
This multicenter study includes all hospitalized patients from 2020 to July 2023 in two sub-hospitals of a tertiary hospital in Guangming District, Shenzhen. The semi-Markov multi-state model (MSM) was utilized to analyze risk factors and cumulative risk of MNI, predict its occurrence probability, and calculate the extra LOS of nosocomial infection (NI).
Results
The risk factors for MNI include age, community infection at admission, surgery, and combined use of antibiotics. However, the cumulative risk of MNI is lower than that of single nosocomial infection (SNI). MNI is most likely to occur within 14 days after admission. Additionally, SNI prolongs LOS by an average of 7.48 days (95%CI: 6.06–8.68 days), while MNI prolongs LOS by an average of 15.94 days (95%CI: 14.03–18.17 days). Furthermore, the more sites of infection there are, the longer the extra LOS will be.
Conclusion
The longer LOS and increased treatment difficulty of MNI result in a heavier disease burden for patients, necessitating targeted prevention and control measures.
Spin Filtering Properties of Structures Based on Stanene and Bismuthene Nanoribbons with Magnetism
Authors: Akhoundi Elaheh , Houssa Michel , Afzalian Aryan
Published: December 2023

The transport properties of spin filters based on two-dimensional magnetic topological insulators (TI) are theoretically studied, exploiting the spin-polarized quantum-anomalous-Hall effect in these materials. The electron transport properties of these structures are explored through the non-equilibrium-Green’s-functon(NEGF) formalism. We first considered the spin-filtering properties of heterostructures based on non-magnetic TI/antiferromagnetic TI heterostructures, using a Kane-Mele tight-binding Hamiltonian model. Our results reveal that a gate bias of about 2 V is required to obtain an order of magnitude drop in the minority spin current of these heterostructures. In a search for magnetic TIs suitable for these applications, we investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of stanene and bismuthene nanoribbons with metal edge modification, using density functional theory (DFT) simulations. The direction of the magnetic moment is found to be heavily influenced by the electric field, while the magnitude of the magnetic moment declines drastically. Additionally, the role of edge oxidization on the magnetic state of stanene nanoribbons is explored, and a noticeable impact is observed. We next study the spin filtering properties of stanene and bismuthene ribbons with magnetism only at one edge, using NEGF based on DFT Hamiltonians. The transport characteristics exhibit noticeable spin polarization, without requiring an applied electric field along the out-of-plane direction. We also show that one edge magnetization can be induced in stanene nanoribbons with asymmetric edge passivation; DFT simulations predict the formation of one-way helical edge states in these structures. The results presented herein provide insight into the transport properties of magnetic TIs and their possible applications in spin filters and qubits based on Majorana bound states.

Published: December 2023

Background
Different zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoforms were identified as a probable set of similar nanoforms for a common hazard assessment. To justify this grouping, toxicological studies were performed: A 90-day inhalation study (OECD test guideline no. (TG) 413) combined with a reproduction/developmental (neuro)toxicity screening test (TG 421/424/426) was performed in rats with coated and uncoated ZnO nanoforms in comparison with microscale ZnO particles and soluble zinc sulfate. In addition, genotoxicity in the nasal cavity, lungs, liver, and bone marrow was examined via comet assay (TG 489) after 14-day inhalation exposure.
Results
ZnO nanoparticles caused local toxicity in the respiratory tract. Systemic effects that were not related to the local irritation were not observed. There was no indication of impaired fertility, developmental toxicity, or developmental neurotoxicity. No indication for genotoxicity of any of the test substances was observed. Local effects were similar across the different ZnO test substances and were reversible after the end of the exposure.
Conclusion
With exception of local toxicity, this study could not confirm the occasional findings in some of the previous studies regarding the above-mentioned toxicological endpoints. The two representative ZnO nanoforms and the microscale particles showed similar local effects. The ZnO nanoforms most likely exhibit their effects by zinc ions as no particles could be detected after the end of the exposure, and exposure to rapidly soluble zinc sulfate had similar effects. Obviously, material differences between the ZnO particles do not substantially alter their toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics. The grouping of ZnO nanoforms into a set of similar nanoforms is justified by these observations.

The designation of peaceful nuclear explosions as special radioactive waste imposes serious requirements to the territory of the explosion, its boundaries, and stakeholders informing about the prohibition of economic activities within these boundaries. The acting Sanitary Norms and Rules SanPiN 2.6.1.2819–10 “Ensuring radiation safety of the population living in areas where nuclear explosions were conducted (1965–1988) for peaceful purposes” do not define the size of the boundaries of protected zones. The aim of this paper is to analyze the scientific literature on the structure of deformation changes in the Earth’s interior due to peaceful nuclear explosions and to justify quantitative ratios on the basis of which the size of protected zones can be estimated. The quantitative ratios were selected on the basis of a comparative analysis of the literature data. Using the ratios values made it possible to calculate the radii of deformation changes (cavities, crushing zones, fracturing zones, and zones of residual deformations) in various rocks. It is shown that the maximum values of fracturing radii for peaceful nuclear explosions carried out on the territory of the Russian Federation in hard rocks and in plastic rocks do not exceed 200 m and 250 m, respectively.
A importância de incluir o Transgênero no Quinto Objetivo do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS, agenda 2030) e o compromisso do Brasil para avanços sociais

Published: December 2023

A discriminação negativa e a violência contra transgêneros são confirmadas, em âmbito nacional e internacional, por pesquisas da sociedade civil e da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU). Esta instituição, apesar destas constatações, ao apresentar os 17 Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODSs, Agenda 2030), não inclui, no quinto objetivo, o termo transgênero ou referências à comunidade LGBTQIA+. Apesar da defesa da igualdade entre os gêneros binários já significar avanços, perdeu-se a oportunidade de dar visibilidade e obter compromissos dos Estados-membros para a inclusão de direitos para os transgêneros. O Brasil, por constituir-se em um Estado Democrático de Direito, por meio dos governos, deve submeter-se à ordem jurídica, especialmente quanto à competência do artigo 4º, II e IX da CF/1988, sobre a prevalência dos direitos humanos e pela cooperação entre os povos para o progresso da humanidade. Defende-se que esta competência deve ser interpretada de exercício obrigatório, também para incluir e promover avanços sociais em favor do transgênero. Nesse contexto, a presente pesquisa apura a intervenção do Estado brasileiro, por meio normativo, na formulação (Legislativo), execução (Executivo) e controle (Judiciário) de ações em prol dos direitos dos transgêneros. Esta pesquisa bibliográfica e dedutiva recorre aos estudos documentais e análises estatísticas já colhidas.

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused health, economic, social, and psychological problems in Türkiye as well as all over the world. It has been argued that economic hardship because of the pandemic, implemented pandemic restrictions such as lockdown and other social problems may increase domestic violence. The aim of this study is to investigate the exposure to violence of married women with children in Türkiye before and during the Covid-19 outbreak, their awareness of violence, knowledge about institutional mechanisms, and attitudes towards institutional mechanisms. The sample obtained by convenient sampling method consists of 324 married women between the ages of 23 and 60. Married women participated in the study by filling out the online questionnaire prepared in accordance with the purpose of the study. Domestic violence was evaluated together with different types of physical, psychological, sexual, and economic violence. In addition, in the study, women's awareness of the types of violence and the institutional mechanisms evaluated. According to the study results, it is seen that women's awareness of violence was high. In addition, it is determined that during the pandemic, 18.5% of women were exposed to physical violence, 51.5% to psychological violence and 25% to economic violence. However, it is reported that women are less exposed to all types of violence during the pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period.

Global climate change and rapid urbanization have increased the frequency of flooding, making urban flood resilience a critical objective. This article introduces a methodology for assessing urban flood resilience, utilizing a social-ecological synthesis index that integrates geographical and temporal data with Geographic Information System (GIS). The study focuses on ten administrative subdistricts in Wuhua District, Kunming City, China, and selects 18 social-ecological indicators. These indicators, chosen from social and ecological perspectives, are weighted using the entropy weight method to determine their significance in the assessment system. By combining scores for each subdistrict, the study quantifies flood resilience and creates a spatial distribution map using ArcGIS. Key findings reveal that out of the ten administrative subdistricts, five in Wuhua District, particularly in the core urban area of Kunming, demonstrate strong overall flood resilience. Influenced by social-ecological indicators, there is significant spatial differentiation in flood resilience within Wuhua District, with a decreasing trend radiating from the city center to areas farther from the urban core. The research indicates that regions with well-established transportation infrastructure, a wide distribution of government institutions, improved water management facilities, and a substantial population with higher education levels contribute significantly to enhancing urban flood resilience.

Authors: Abyandary Tsany Tsany
Published: December 2023

Social media intensity is one of the causes of consumerism. This research will conduct the effect  of social media intensity on consumerism, with Gaya Berkendara Youtube channel as the research  subject. Gaya Berkendara Youtube channel itself is a channel focusing on the cycling hobby. This  research will use a positivist paradigm with an explanative quantitative methodology to test the influence  of the intensity of watching Gaya Berkendara Youtube channel on consumerism habits. The population  of this research itself is 39.100 subscribers, so the sample in this research is 109 respondents chosen with  a convenience sampling method. The respondents are those who know about the Gaya Berkendara  Youtube channel and are part of subscribers. All of the data that has been gathered are tested using  simple linear regressions. The result is indicating that the intensity of watching Gaya Berkendara Youtube  channel is affecting the subscribers' consumerism habits. This research is based on the uses and  gratification theory to analyze the effect of media consumption, as individuals themselves have full control  over how they use their media. However, this research focus is on the intensity of media consumption  without any deep consideration of social media influencers. Any suggestion for future research is to  include social media influencers as a variable to know its effect separately.
Pendekatan Retoris Dan Relasional Di Taman Pendidikan Al-Quran Darul Hamdi 2
Authors: Sari Dina Emilia
Published: December 2023

All human activities always have a communication aspect in it. One of them is in the field of instructional. In the 1970s, instructional communication focused on the role of communication in teaching. Previous researchers revealed that teachers should not only focus on understanding the material but also how to create a sense of comfort for students. This approach comes from the Rhetorical and Relational Goal Theory. This study looks at how the rhetorical and relational approaches are used during the learning process at TPQ Darul Hamdi 2. This research is a qualitative research with an interpretative paradigm. The research was conducted by observing. Participants were selected by purposive sampling technique. The results of this study indicate that TPQ Darul Hamdi 2 applies the demonstrating instructional strategy by Clarissa Gomes Foletto as a rhetorical approach and focuses on classroom interaction, teacher attitudes, child independence, and teacher-student relationships as a relational approach. Based on data analysis, the approaches taken are effective in learning even though there are several efforts that need to be corrected and increased again.

The journalistic code of ethics, which is the heart of journalistic products and is a beacon in the world of journalism, is in fact still very vulnerable to being violated. This research aims to determine forms of violation of the journalistic code of ethics, not only based on the Indonesian journalistic code of ethics, but also using the journalistic code of ethics of South Korea, the country where this drama series originates. This research was conducted on the Korean drama series HUSH which aired in 2019 with 16 episodes. The author uses the Indonesian Press Council's journalistic code of ethics and the South Korean Press Code of Ethics to analyze the violations. Apart from that, the causes and consequences of violations of the journalistic code of ethics that occur can also be found. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with the Pierce model of semiotic approach. The research results showed that: (1) there were 5 cases that showed violations of the journalistic code of ethics. (2) the cause of the violation of the journalistic code of ethics was discovered, namely the existence of a special relationship between the high-ranking officials involved in the case and the leader of the Korean Daily, as well as considering that accepting bribes by people who work in the field of journalism is considered a normal thing.
Inovasi Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi di Usaha Mikro Kecil Menengah Pedesaan (Adopsi Inovasi dalam Pemanfaatan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi pada UMKM di Desa Sukasari, Seluma)
Authors: Indiarma Verani
Published: December 2023

This research aims to explore the experiences of the Sukasari community in using information technology. The study was conducted in the village of Sukasari, Air Periukan District, Seluma Regency, Bengkulu. The research method used in this study is action research or participatory action research (PAR). This method is considered appropriate because it can analyze and evaluate barriers and opportunities through multidisciplinary expertise to gather information and make decisions according to the needs of the community. The results show that the Sukasari community has a general understanding of social media utilization because all the actors in the Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDES) Sukasari have social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, which they use for communication and interaction. However, the Sukasari village community also faces several challenges in the implementation of social media, such as internet accessibility, lack of understanding in creating engaging content, relationship issues, and the quality of human resources in managing social media as a means of promoting the village's potential. The Sukasari village community requires training focused on enhancing the community's skills in social media management, including content creation strategies, finding creative ideas, photo and video editing, caption creation, and even understanding the appropriate social media algorithms to create engaging and marketable social media content.

 

 
Combining virtual exchange with challenge-based learning: the experience of the “Virtual Environmental Challenge”
Authors: Evain Christine , Moore Michael , Hawkridge Spencer
Published: December 2023

This practice report presents the use of Virtual Exchange (VE) (O’Dowd, 2018) and Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) (Gallagher & Savage, 2020) as a means to enhance an Internationalisation at Home (IaH) (Beelen & Jones, 2015) experiment. The present study focuses on the “Virtual Environmental Challenge” (VEC) which brought together 10 different universities from 7 different countries, in the context of an Erasmus+ project. Now in its third iteration, the VE is focusing on the VEC in tandem with Challenge-Based Learning. The CBL approach can be considered as Project-Based Learning (PBL) (Fleming, 2002) with the students in charge of defining their own project. Explaining the conceptual framework of CBL allowed for the transmission and communication of the complex elements of the VEC in an easy to understand format. This article reports back on the experience, feedback and learning experiences of the VEC in order to map out the future perspectives of the project. The contribution of this report is to ground CBL as a pedagogical new approach in the form of experiential learning (Kolb, 2015). This report also aims to inform practitioners about the value of VE, CBL, and IaH focused projects and the rewards these projects can bring.

We are very pleased to bring you this Special Issue (SI) for the Journal of Virtual Exchange entitled Virtual Exchange and the Development of Transferable Skills : A Review of Practices Across Disciplines. The overarching theme of the papers, each one integrating online pedagogical practice within a Virtual Exchange (VE), is the development of participants’ transferable skills to other work and study contexts. While there is no one universally-accepted definition of what transferable skills are, or consensus on what they include or exclude, they are as a blanket-term increasingly sought after by employers in recruitment and job descriptions to complement professional knowledge. O’Dowd in the Foreword provides a succinct discussion of the term. We understand transferable skills as a concept embracing a wide spectrum of cognitive, affective and behavioural competencies; examples featuring in the manuscripts below include intercultural communication and global citizenship, digital literacies, critical-thinking and mentoring. Expanding the concept of transferable skills, the newer term transversal skills can include ICT, language and cognitive skills (e.g., collaboration, negotiation and information-sharing) (Goggin et al., 2019), and these learning outcomes can also be seen in the Special Issue.

Predicting Postoperative Hospital Stays Using Nursing Narratives and the Reverse Time Attention (RETAIN) Model: Retrospective Cohort Study
Authors: Han Sungjoo , Kim Yong Bum , No Jae Hong , Suh Dong Hoon , Kim Kidong , Ahn Soyeon
Published: December 2023

Background

Nursing narratives are an intriguing feature in the prediction of short-term clinical outcomes. However, it is unclear which nursing narratives significantly impact the prediction of postoperative length of stay (LOS) in deep learning models.

Objective

Therefore, we applied the Reverse Time Attention (RETAIN) model to predict LOS, entering nursing narratives as the main input.

Methods

A total of 354 patients who underwent ovarian cancer surgery at the Seoul National University Bundang Hospital from 2014 to 2020 were retrospectively enrolled. Nursing narratives collected within 3 postoperative days were used to predict prolonged LOS (≥10 days). The physician’s assessment was conducted based on a retrospective review of the physician’s note within the same period of the data model used.

Results

The model performed better than the physician’s assessment (area under the receiver operating curve of 0.81 vs 0.58; P=.02). Nursing narratives entered on the first day were the most influential predictors in prolonged LOS. The likelihood of prolonged LOS increased if the physician had to check the patient often and if the patient received intravenous fluids or intravenous patient-controlled analgesia late.

Conclusions

The use of the RETAIN model on nursing narratives predicted postoperative LOS effectively for patients who underwent ovarian cancer surgery. These findings suggest that accurate and interpretable deep learning information obtained shortly after surgery may accurately predict prolonged LOS.
