BackgroundCross-neurotype differences in social communication patterns contribute to high unemployment rates among adults with autism. Adults with autism can be unsuccessful in job searches or terminated from employment due to mismatches between their social attention behaviors and society’s expectations on workplace communication.ObjectiveWe propose a behavioral intervention concerning distribution of attention in triadic (three-way) conversations. Specifically, the objective is to determine whether providing personalized feedback to each individual with autism based on an analysis of their attention distribution behavior during an initial conversation session would cause them to modify their orientation behavior in a subsequent conversation session.MethodsOur system uses an unobtrusive head orientation estimation model to track the focus of attention of each individual. Head orientation sequences from a conversation session are analyzed based on five statistical domains (eg, maximum exclusion duration and average contact duration) representing different types of attention distribution behavior. An intervention is provided to a participant if they exceeded the nonautistic average for that behavior by at least 2 SDs. The intervention uses data analysis and video modeling along with a constructive discussion about the targeted behaviors. Twenty-four individuals with autism with no intellectual disabilities participated in the study. The participants were divided into test and control groups of 12 participants each.ResultsBased on their attention distribution behavior in the initial conversation session, 11 of the 12 participants in the test group received an intervention in at least one domain. Of the 11 participants who received the intervention, 10 showed improvement in at least one domain on which they received feedback. Independent t tests for larger test groups (df>15) confirmed that the group improvements are statistically significant compared with the corresponding controls (P<.05). Crawford-Howell t tests confirmed that 78% of the interventions resulted in significant improvements when compared individually against corresponding controls (P<.05). Additional t tests comparing the first conversation sessions of the test and control groups and comparing the first and second conversation sessions of the control group resulted in nonsignificant differences, pointing to the intervention being the main effect behind the behavioral changes displayed by the test group, as opposed to confounding effects or group differences.ConclusionsOur proposed behavioral intervention offers a useful framework for practicing social attention behavior in multiparty conversations that are common in social and professional settings.

Background
Childhood obesity has become a significant public health concern over the past 2 decades, posing multifactorial challenges, including modifiable factors like dietary habits, physical activity, screen time, and sleeping habits. Prevention efforts require a comprehensive approach comprising educational interventions, collaboration among multidisciplinary teams, and community engagement. Since schools play a central role in children's lives, they are the ideal setting for promoting healthy habits.

Objective
The LIVELY (Multidimensional School-Based and Family-Involved Interventions to Promote a Healthy and Sustainable Lifestyle) study will assess the prevalence of overweight and obesity in primary school children and identify contributing factors within families. Additionally, it aims to implement and evaluate a multidimensional, multidisciplinary intervention to foster a sustainable and healthy lifestyle, ultimately working toward preventing obesity in school-aged children.

Methods
During the school year, each class will be individually involved in a multidimensional educational intervention covering the topics of healthy, sustainable nutrition and lifestyle. Children will also participate in a multimedia lab where they will create an animated cartoon. The lectures will engage them through various methods, including direct instructions, games, and drawing activities, to stimulate and enhance their learning and involvement.

Results
Data collection began in October 2023 and will last until the end of October 2024. A sample of 227 children from 14 classes was included in the study. The mean age was 8.9 (SD 1.2) years, and 48% (n=110) were males. Among the overall sample, 18.1% (n=41; 95% CI 13.7%-23.7%) were overweight, while 5.3% (n=12; 95% CI 3%-9%) had obesity. Males had a higher prevalence of obesity than females (9.1%, n=10 vs 1.7%, n=3, P=.03, respectively). Otherwise, the prevalence of central obesity was similar between the two (P=.329). Data analysis and the presentation of the complete results will be available after the end of 2024.

Conclusions
The study could lead to the structuring of an educational intervention model in school settings aimed at preventing childhood obesity. Moreover, it could help raise awareness of childhood obesity and help prevent this public health issue.

Socio-economic sustainability of municipalities: Research methodology and experience
Authors: Gorfinkel Ilya 
Published: August 2024

Introduction. The issue of socio-economic sustainability of territories has been studied in depth in the scientific literature. This concerns both the concept of socio-economic sustainability itself and its application to the analysis of regional and municipal development. Various aspects of socio-economic sustainability are also addressed in a significant number of territorial ratings currently available on the information market and published by both government agencies and non-governmental structures – analytical centers, rating agencies (RA), and mass media. Most of these information and analytical products relate to the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. A striking example is the rating of regions for the implementation of the federal project “Formation of a Comfortable Urban Environment” from the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation. This series also includes the rating of the quality of life in the regions from the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI), the rating of the socio-economic sustainability of regions from the Civil Society Development Fund, the rating of the socio-economic development of regions from RIA Novosti, the rating of the investment attractiveness of regions from RA Expert, and a number of others. A significantly smaller number of such products relate to the municipal level. And this is a big problem of practical and scientific nature, which, in the author's opinion, can be overcome by the developed assessment of the socio-economic sustainability of Russian municipalities.Materials and methods. The presented study used indicators of socio-economic and electoral statistics of municipalities relating to 2022-2023. The main source is Rosstat data. In addition, information contained on the official websites or in the official publications of regional and municipal authorities was used. The work used universal methods of scientific knowledge: analysis, synthesis, generalization.Results. The result of the study was regional ratings of the socio-economic sustainability of municipalities in five subjects of the Russian Federation within the Ural Federal District: Sverdlovsk, Tyumen and Chelyabinsk regions, Khanty-Mansiysk – Yugra and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrugs.

Abstract
In the current digital age, online marketing is a key factor in the success of companies, influencing the relationships among businesses. Artificial intelligence (AI) is leading the way in this evolution, fundamentally changing the tactics and structure of online marketing. This paper examines the major effects and ethical concerns related to incorporating AI in online marketing strategies. Starting with a summary of AI’s development and its crucial position in present-day marketing, the research emphasizes its revolutionary functions such as making decisions based on data, providing customized user experiences, and automating processes. By developing AI algorithms, marketers can analyse bigger datasets, determine patterns, and predict trends, introducing the world into a new era of marketing innovation. A central focus of AI in online marketing is its ability to deliver highly personalized experiences to consumers, driven by the analysis of users’ behaviour, preferences and historical data. This personalized approach improves user engagement and drives conversion rates. AI also empowers marketers with real-time data processing and analysis, offering valuable insights into consumer behaviour, market trends, and campaign performance. Of course, besides its transformative potential, the integration of AI in online marketing presents significant ethical considerations. Issues such as data privacy, algorithmic tendency, and transparency necessitate careful consideration to ensure responsible and ethical AI usage in marketing practices. Going through a comprehensive exploration of AI’s impact and ethical implications in online marketing, this paper aims to provide valuable insights into the evolving landscape of digital marketing and the ethical considerations essential for navigating this dynamic zone.

Smartphones are a communication tool that is inseparable from student life due to various academic activities. However, unwise use can cause various problems. One of the problems that can arise is Fear of Missing Out (FoMO). This problem can develop into a more serious problem, such as Nomophobia. Nomophobia is a feeling of fear that arises when you are away from your smartphone. The purpose of this research is to determine the relationship between Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) and Nomophobia tendencies in students. The research sample was taken using a probability sampling method with multistage cluster sampling and dipropionate stratified sampling techniques involving 351 students from four universities. This study used the Fear of Missing Out Scale (FoMOS) and Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q) as instruments. The results of hypothesis testing using the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation show a coefficient value of r=0,320 (p0,05), which indicates a positive relationship between FoMO and Nomophobia tendencies in students. The higher the intensity of feeling connected and afraid of missing out on the latest information, the greater the risk of creating fear of being away from smartphones. Smartphone merupakan alat komunikasi yang tidak terpisahkan dari kehidupan mahasiswa karena berbagai tuntutan akademis. Namun, penggunaan yang tidak bijak dapat menimbulkan berbagai masalah. Salah satu permasalahan dapat ditunjukkan dengan kebiasaan memeriksa smartphone agar tidak ketinggalan informasi, yang dikenal sebagai Fear of Missing Out (FoMO). Permasalahan ini dapat berkembang menjadi masalah yang lebih serius, yaitu Nomophobia. Nomophobia merupakan perasaan ketakutan yang timbul ketika jauh dari smartphone. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan antara FoMO dan kecenderungan Nomophobia pada mahasiswa. Sampel penelitian diambil menggunakan metode probability sampling dengan teknik multistage cluster sampling dan disproportionate stratified random sampling yang melibatkan 351 mahasiswa dari empat universitas. Penelitian ini menggunakan skala Fear of Missing Out Scale (FoMOS) dan Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q) sebagai instrumen. Hasil uji hipotesis menggunakan Pearson Product-Moment Correlation menunjukkan nilai koefisien sebesar r=0,320 (p0,05), yang mengindikasikan adanya hubungan positif antara FoMO dan kecenderungan Nomophobia pada mahasiswa. Artinya, semakin tinggi intensitas untuk merasa terhubung dan takut ketinggalan informasi terbaru, maka akan semakin besar risiko untuk memunculkan perasaan takut jauh dari smartphone.

Soil strength can be reduced through saturation on the slopes beneath bridge and excessive loading. This reduction can undoubtedly affect the stability of these slopes with the possibility of causing landslide issues in the future. In Addition, it has been observed that the issues of landslides on slopes are generally caused by reduced soil shear strength or the addition of shear forces with subsequent effects on the overall bridge structure. This means there is a need for an early prediction mechanism for the landslide to plan and design the appropriate reinforcement system to minimize the potential instability of slopes in the future. Therefore, this research was conducted to determine the effective reinforcement system by creating the cofferdam to address the issues of soil saturation and increased load caused by heavy machinery operations. The process involved the adoption of the PLAXIS software based on 2-dimensional finite element analysis to model the quite complex combination of loads and reinforcement. The reinforcement used in the cofferdam system include sheet piles, piles, and gabions. The results showed that the reinforcement combination placed the safety factor into the stable category and met the allowed safety requirements. Moreover, the internal forces within the sheet piles were found to be smaller than their structural capacity.

Penjenuhan tanah pada lereng di bawah jembatan dan pembebanan yang berlebih dapat menyebabkan pengurangan kekuatan tanah. Pengurangan kekuatan tanah tentu saja akan berdampak pada kestabilan lereng di bawah jembatan, serta dapat mengakibatkan masalah longsoran dikemudian hari. Secara umum masalah longsoran pada lereng diakibatkan oleh pengurangan kuat geser tanah atau penambahan gaya geser yang terjadi. Pada kasus lereng jembatan tentu saja masalah longsoran ini akan mempengaruhi struktur jembatan secara keseluruhan. Apabila mekanisme longsoran dapat diprediksi sejak awal maka sistem perkuatan dapat direncanakan sesuai kebutuhan, sehingga dapat memperkecil potensi ketidakstabilan lereng dimasa yang akan datang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mencari sistem perkuatan yang efektif dengan membuat cofferdam untuk menangani masalah penjenuhan tanah dan penambahan beban akibat alat berat yang bekerja. Untuk memodelkan kombinasi beban dan perkuatan yang cukup kompleks digunakan bantuan software PLAXIS berbasis elemen hingga 2 dimensi dalam proses analisis. Tipe perkuatan yang digunakan pada sistem cofferdam diantaranya sheet pile, cerucuk, dan Gabion. Hasil analisis menunjukan bahwa dengan kombinasi perkuatan tersebut faktor keamanan yang dihasilkan masuk dalam kategori stabil dan memenuhi syarat aman yang diijinkan. Kemudian gaya dalam yang terjadi pada sheet pile masih lebih kecil dari kapasitas strukturalnya.
