Abstract

Background
Older Chinese immigrants constitute the largest older Asian ethnic population in New Zealand. Aging in a foreign land can be complex, presenting increasing challenges for gerontology scholars, practitioners, and policy makers. Older Chinese immigrants are more susceptible to experiencing loneliness and social isolation compared to native older people, primarily due to language, transportation, and cultural barriers. These factors subsequently impact their physical and mental health. With advancements in robotic technology, aged care robots are being applied to support older people with their daily living needs. However, studies on using robots with older immigrants living in the community are sparse. Their preferences for the appearance and function of aged care robots are unclear, which impacts the acceptance and usability of robots, highlighting the need for a user-centered design approach.

Objective
This study aims to explore older Chinese immigrants’ needs and preferences toward the appearance and function of aged care robots and to examine their relationships with the demographic characteristics of participants.

Methods
A cross-sectional design was used in this study, which was undertaken between March and May 2020. A total of 103 participants completed a web-based survey.

Results
The average age of participants was 68.7 (SD 5.5) years. The results suggest that 41.7% (n=43) of the 103 participants preferred a humanlike adult appearance, while 32% (n=33) suggested an animallike appearance. These participants reported higher scores in both rigorousness and friendliness compared to others who preferred different robot appearances. Participants expressed a greater preference for the functions of housework assistance (n=86, 83.5%), language translation (n=79, 76.7%), health monitoring (n=78, 75.7%), facial expressions (n=77, 74.8%), news reading (n=66, 64.1%), and security monitoring (n=65, 63.1%). These preferences were found to be significantly associated with marital status, financial status, and duration of immigration.

Conclusions
To support immigrant populations to age well in a foreign country and address the growing shortage of health and social professionals, it is important to develop reliable robotic technology services that are tailored based on the needs and preferences of individuals. We collected and compared the perspectives of immigrant and nonimmigrant participants on using robots to support aging in place. The results on users’ needs and preferences inform robotic technology services, indicating a need to prioritize older Chinese immigrants’ preference toward aged care robots that perform housework assistance, language translation, and health and safety monitoring, and robots with humanlike features.

Background
Implementing automated seizure detection in long-term electroencephalography (EEG) analysis enables the remote monitoring of patients with epilepsy, thereby improving their quality of life.

Objective
The objective of this study was to explore an mHealth (mobile health) solution by investigating the feasibility of smartphones for processing large EEG recordings for the remote monitoring of patients with epilepsy.

Methods
We developed a mobile app to automatically analyze and classify epileptic seizures using EEG. We used the cross-database model developed in our previous study, incorporating successive decomposition index and matrix determinant as features, adaptive median feature baseline correction for overcoming interdatabase feature variation, and postprocessing-based support vector machine for classification using 5 different EEG databases. The Sezect (Seizure Detect) Android app was built using the Chaquopy software development kit, which uses the Python language in Android Studio. Various durations of EEG signals were tested on different smartphones to check the feasibility of the Sezect app.

Results
We observed a sensitivity of 93.5%, a specificity of 97.5%, and a false detection rate of 1.5 per hour for EEG recordings using the Sezect app. The various mobile phones did not differ substantially in processing time, which indicates a range of phone models can be used for implementation. The computational time required to process real-time EEG data via smartphones and the classification results suggests that our mHealth app could be a valuable asset for monitoring patients with epilepsy.

Conclusions
Smartphones have multipurpose use in health care, offering tools that can improve the quality of patients’ lives.

Published: November 2023

<p>Background and Objective: &nbsp;Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a chronic degenerative disease characterized by pain, morning stiffness and swelling in the knee joints. And KOA is common in the elderly and seriously affects the exercise function and physical health of patients. This study aimed to explore the curative effects of patellar inward pushing method (PIPM) on KOA.</p>
<p>Methods: &nbsp;In this study, we established rabbit animal models of KOA for the research by using the New Zealand white rabbits. A total of n=30 rabbits were divided into 5 groups by random number table method: blank group, model group, glucosamine hydrochloride (GH) group, PIPM group and PIPM combined with GH group. The rabbits were then modeled.</p>
<p>Results: &nbsp;After 9-weeks cultured in groups, 5 ml blood was collected from the heart, and cytokines were detected. The result suggested that iNOS, NO and TNF-&alpha; were the pathogenic inflammatory factor of KOA, and aggravated cartilage damage and degeneration. Besides, this study indicated that PIPM combined with GH treatment significantly reduced the activity of inflammatory cytokines in serum and joint fluid of KOA models in rabbits. In addition, PIPM combined with GH therapy exhibited the best therapeutic effect among these treatments, which was working on KOA better than PIPM treatment alone or GH treatment alone.</p>
<p>Conclusion: &nbsp;PIPM could effectively treat KOA via regulating cytokines, and the PIPM combined with GH therapy could be a novel therapeutic strategy for KOA.</p>

Introduction: Leadership development is important both from a curricular standpoint and for continued advancement of the profession. Advice from current leaders in the profession may serve as a powerful motivator to students desiring to be leaders. The purpose of this qualitative study was to provide advice from experienced pharmacy leaders.
Methods: Fifty-four pharmacy leaders were identified based on pre-determined, specific criteria and by using a snowball sampling method. Interviews with leaders were conducted via Zoom to learn about their leadership journey, their legacy, and advice they would give students. The interviews were transcribed, de-identified and analyzed using the inductive, modified constant comparison approach for open and axial coding. Advice themes were compared by gender and generational category.
Results: The majority of the interviewees were male (69%), belonged to the Baby Boomer Generation (1946-1964, 59.3%), and held leadership positions in education (78%) and health systems (48%). Thirty-seven leadership advice themes were present. The topmost advice to students was to keep an open mind (35%) and to get involved in organizations (32%). Pieces of advice shared by both men and women leaders included: being open minded, getting involved in organizations, taking initiative, trying new or difficult things, and finding your passion. Keeping an open mind, and taking initiative were common across the three generations.
Conclusion: Pharmacy leaders have insightful information for students aspiring to be future leaders. Leadership advice was similar by gender and generational category. Students would benefit in developing their leadership based on advice from the lived experience of pharmacy leaders. Future studies could examine students’ perspectives on leadership advice.

<p><em>Information is an important part of communication between individuals and groups. Information is closely related to archive search. Archive searching is an important part of archive editing because searching allows researchers to find important information in archives. Based on the results of an archive search survey at one of the archival institutions, namely the Ponorogo Regency Library and Archives Service, archive searches are still limited through Microsoft Excel and there are no other innovations. Seeing current technological developments, researchers offer solutions for searching archives through the AppSheet website at the Ponorogo Regency Library and Archives Service. The purpose of this study, among others, is to find out how to use the AppSheet website, use the AppSheet website in related agencies, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the AppSheet website. The research method in this study is a qualitative method through interviews and observation. The informants in this study were 4 archivists in related agencies. The results of the study show that how to use the AppSheet website consists of 22 steps. How to use the AppSheet website in related agencies include: 1) The features provided are quite easy to use. 2) Retrieval components that are fulfilled include: users, queries, documents, and matching. 3) The description is complete. 4) The retrieval step is quite easy. 5) Available metadata include: processing unit, file number, file number, description of archive information, time period, and amount. 6) Obstacles in the operation of the AppSheet website as a retrieval of inactive photo archives so far not all users can access and cannot be operated offline. 7) The solution for operating the AppSheet website as a retrieval of inactive photo archives is that later users who really need access to these inactive photo archives will be allowed to view them to get information to support their final thesis or assignment. In addition, active photos need to be placed on a flash disk to back up data. 8) There is no comparison with other applications. 9) Criticism and suggestions follow technology and regulatory developments in politics and law and features are added. Disadvantages of the AppSheet website include: users must understand technology and need to share links so that other users can access them. The advantages: increasing efficiency, effectiveness, presentation of information, when it is static it can be accessed by the public.</em></p><p> </p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em>: Inactive Photo Archive Retrieval, AppSheet Website, Ponorogo District Library and Archives Service.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> </em></p>

<em><span>Ultimum remedium </span></em><span>sebagai salah satu asas dalam hukum pidana memiliki kedudukan yang cukup signifikan mengingat asas merupakan pondasi. <em>Ultimum remedium</em> berarti hukum pidana sebagai obat terakhir atau <em>the last resort</em>. Di dalam ranah pengadilan, hakim dapat mempertimbangkan penerapan <em>ultimum remedium </em>atau atas perkara tersebut hukum pidana merupakan obat terakhir karena tidak memungkinkan untuk dijatuhi hukuman yang lain. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kedudukan asas <em>ultimum remedium </em>dalam hukum pidana dan mengetahui implementasi asas <em>ultimum remedium </em>terhadap tindak pidana kekerasan dalam rumah tangga dalam Putusan No. 148/Pid.Sus/2020/PN.Smn dikaitkan dengan kedudukan <em>ultimum remedium </em>dalam penegakan hukum dan tujuan pemidanaan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian yuridis normatif. Penulis menggunakan metode pendekatan perundang – undangan dan pendekatan Kasus. Penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif analisis yaitu menelaah kenyataan atau keadaan hukum yang terjadi di lapangan kemudian dikaji atau dianalisis untuk menghasilkan suatu kesimpulan tertentu didasarkan pada peraturan perundang – undangan yang berlaku dan penelitian - penelitian lainnya yang terkait dengan tema yang diangkat. <em>Ultimum remedium </em>dalam hukum pidana bisa berkedudukan di tingkatan sebelum ranah pengadilan<em>. </em>Atau, bisa juga berkedudukan di ranah pengadilan dalam konsep ketika upaya - upaya hukum sebelumnya yang sudah ditempuh tidak tercapai perdamaian antara pelaku tindak pidana dengan korban. Penggunaan asas <em>ultimum remedium </em>dalam menjatuhkan putusan No. 148/Pid.Sus/2020/PN.Smn. sudah tepat karena mengingat perkara tersebut sudah dalam ranah peradilan, sehingga hukum pidana adalah sebagai obat terakhir untuk mengadili Terdakwa.

systematic review and meta-analysis to assess associations between types of self-determined motivation in exercise with selected parameters of studies using Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaires (BREQs). Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, we screened 244 studies from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus against criteria and selected 43 articles for qualitative synthesis. Of those, 40 studies reporting mean scores and standard deviations of six regulations of BREQs, representing self-determined motivation types, were selected for meta-analysis. The pooled mean scores were the highest in intrinsic regulation at 4.00 (95%CI: 2.92–5.09), followed by identified, integrated, introjected, external, and motivation regulations at 3.65 (95%CI: 3.06–4.24), 3.11 (95%CI: 2.68–3.55), 2.21 (95%CI: 1.88–2.53), 1.42 (95%CI: 0.93–1.92), and 0.94 (95%CI: 0.67–1.12), respectively. Findings indicated significant associations between longer exercise duration and introjected (β = 0.014, p = 0.027) and identified (β = 0.014, p = 0.021) regulations. An inverse relationship was found with a higher female participation rate (β=-0.047, p=0.042), while exercise settings in sports and fitness centers exhibited a stronger association with intrinsic motivations (β=2.700, p=0.039). No significant differences were observed among the versions of BREQs in measuring self-determined motivation. This investigation of context invariance utilizing the particular validated scale contributes to furthering comprehension of the instrument in sports and fitness settings. Additionally, it is essential to take into account sex and the exercise environment concerning self-determined motivation when predicting long-term exercise adherence.

Cooperative Relaying in a Three User Downlink NOMA System Using Dynamic Power Allocation
Authors: Mabumba Mwewa , Tembo Simon , Phiri Lukumba 
Published: November 2023

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) represents the latest addition to the array of multiple access techniques, enabling simultaneous servicing of multiple users within a singular resource block in terms of time, frequency, and code. A typical NOMA configuration comprises a base station along with proximate and distant users. The proximity users experience more favorable channel conditions in contrast to distant users, resulting in a compromised performance for the latter due to the less favorable channel conditions. When cooperative communication is integrated with NOMA, the overall system performance, including spectral efficiency and capacity, is further elevated. This study introduces a cooperative NOMA setup in the downlink, involving three users, and employs dynamic power allocation (DPA). Within this framework, User 2 acts as a relay, functioning under the decode-and-forward protocol, forwarding signals to both User 1 and User 3. This arrangement aims to bolster the performance of the user positioned farthest from the base station, who is adversely affected by weaker channel conditions. Theoretical and simulation outcomes reveal enhancements within the system’s performance.

Published: November 2023

Modern mass media serve as both a "magic window" into the world and a "door" to new ideas. It is important to look at how the steady growth of media affects the way racial and cultural stereotypes are pushed forward. Stereotypes themselves can influence how people view facts and social events and one of many examples of stereotypes is Italian stereotypes. This study analyzes HBO's popular series, The White Lotus season two, employing Fairclough's model critical discourse analysis to deconstruct Italian stereotypes through the characters' portrayals. This study also examines the sociocultural aspect and physical appearances of the Italian characters portrayed by American television. The findings of this study show the physical portrayal of Italians mostly they have the same features and are known for their fashion sense and attention to appearance. Moreover, Italian characters are portrayed with speak loudly and having the urge to cause some disturbance. The last stereotype is quite expected but debatable, which is the portrayal of Italians being middle-class workers and mafia. This stereotype had some audience feeling disappointed and others pleased enough. Western films' mafia stereotypes could affect how people learn about the culture, and think all Italians are dangerous, poor, and do drugs. Mafias exist and should not define Italian identity, especially in mainstream media.
