The article discusses a pilot study evaluating the feasibility of using observable professional activities (OPAs) on a residency inpatient spinal cord injury rotation in physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) graduate medical education. The study aimed to demonstrate that the current OPAs for spinal cord injury (SCI) are feasible and beneficial for training programs. Results showed an increase in feedback provided to residents, a correlation between entrustment scores and resident experience, and positive feedback on the tool's ease of use and correlation with rotation objectives. While the study had limitations, it concluded that SCI OPAs have potential benefits for resident training in PM&R. [Extracted from the article]

This paper presents digital modeling of shell face mills in milling cylinder heads. The cutter's structural dynamics and its mode shapes are predicted using a Finite Element system. The geometries of the cutter body and inserts are imported from their Computer Aided Design (CAD) models. The insert edge is discretized into small segments to model its varying normal rake and inclination angles, which affect the cutting mechanics. The cutter is dynamically assembled with the target machine tool spindle using the receptance coupling method. A general dynamic cutting force model, which considers the varying edge geometry and inserts' run-outs, is developed and used to predict cutting forces and chatter stability diagrams. The proposed model is experimentally verified to demonstrate the feasibility of the systematic application of physics-based digital design and analysis of tools for the mass machining of specific parts. The cutter body shape is optimized to increase the stiffness of the bending mode shape that caused chatter via topology optimization, which led to five-fold increase in the absolute stable depth of cut.

The rise of digital twin technology has provided innovative methods for monitoring and optimizing ship cooling pumps. This paper proposes a digital twin-based framework for the status monitoring and visualization of ship cooling pumps. By establishing highly realistic physical and mathematical models and integrating actual operational data, a comprehensive virtual environment was created to simulate the operational status of ship cooling pumps. Using the random forest algorithm for data training and testing, the results showed that the root mean square error for the training set was 0.0037873, and for the test set, it was 0.008929, indicating high accuracy in predicting the status of cooling pumps. This system enables real-time monitoring, problem diagnosis, performance optimization, and decision support for cooling pumps. This study aims to leverage digital twin technology to design and apply a visualization monitoring system to enhance the intelligence of ship operation and maintenance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper introduces a novel strategy aimed at enhancing productivity and minimizing non-productive movements within container terminals, specifically focusing on container yards. It advocates for the implementation of a digital twin-based methodology to streamline the operations of stacking cranes (SCs) responsible for container handling. The proposed approach entails the creation of a virtual container yard that mirrors the physical yard within a digital twin system, facilitating real-time observation and validation. In addition, this article demonstrates the effectiveness of using a digital twin to reduce unproductive movements and improve productivity through simulation. It defines various operational strategies and takes into account different yard contexts, providing a comprehensive understanding of optimisation possibilities. By exploiting the capabilities of the digital twin, managers and operators are provided with crucial information on operational dynamics, enabling them to identify areas for improvement. This visualisation helps decision-makers to make informed choices about their stacking strategies, thereby improving the efficiency of overall container terminal operations. Overall, this paper present a digital twin solution in container terminal operations, offering a powerful tool for optimising productivity and minimising inefficiencies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Digital competences are essential for developing key skills in the modern digital age, including communication, content creation, and participation. These competences significantly influence teachers' ability to integrate technology into their teaching. This paper examines the digital competences of elementary school teachers in the Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The study highlights the need for ongoing education in digital literacy, enabling educators to effectively impart necessary knowledge to their students. Survey results indicate that elementary school teachers possess a basic understanding of media and information literacy (MIL), but their overall digital skills remain underdeveloped. Teachers also express awareness of this gap and a desire for further education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to solve the problem of smart grid data asset registration, this paper proposes a smart grid data asset registration system based on blockchain. The system uses the decentralization and immutable characteristics of blockchain to achieve the digital management of devices and assets in the smart grid, and uses smart contracts to encrypt and authenticate the data to ensure that the data is real and reliable. At the same time, the system can incorporate data asset registration into the scope of smart grid management, forming a complete data asset management system. In this paper, the blockchain technology is briefly introduced, and then the framework of smart grid data asset registration system based on blockchain is proposed, and its feasibility is analyzed. Finally, the paper introduces the application of smart grid data asset registration system based on blockchain technology in a provincial power grid company. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose -- Even if it is often accepted that smart hotels are built on networks of technological devices, there is currently no consensus among researchers as to what level of technology is required to define a smart hotel. Based on the above-mentioned assumption that smart hotels are built on a network of technological devices, this paper aims to understand how smart hotels can be conceptualised based on customer preferences. Methodology/Design/Approach -- To achieve this goal, the paper conceptualises smart hotels as a service network in which the customer comes into contact with a variety of technological and traditional touchpoints on site. This conceptualisation allows the researcher to observe customer preferences at different touchpoints and identify the technologies that are central to the development of the customer experience. Findings -- The results show that the ideal customer journey includes both traditional and technological touchpoints and that artificial intelligence is of central importance for the development of the smart hotel concept. Originality of the research -- The methodological approach taken in this paper enables researchers and practitioners to easily visualise and identify important patterns in the customer journey, facilitating the task of identifying the most relevant touchpoints in complex service networks, such as smart hotels.

An architecture of the DPP is presented built upon the principles of data spaces and W3C Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs). By leveraging data spaces, the DPP enables secure and controlled data exchange among stakeholders, fostering transparency, traceability, and collaboration throughout the product's lifecycle. The use of decentralized identifiers ensures the uniqueness and verifiability of product-related information, facilitating seamless access and sharing of data. The DPP architecture offers a promising framework for realizing the circular economy by promoting resource efficiency, sustainable practices, and informed decision-making. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper explores the digital preservation readiness of legal deposit materials at the Msunduzi Municipal Library in KwaZulu-Natal. It looks at the readiness to undertake the digital preservation programme, whether Msunduzi Municipal Library meets the requirements for the digital preservation programme to undertake it, and whether the staff members have skills and competencies for digital preservation. It also checked if they had enough storage capacity for a digital preservation programme. A qualitative research method and a case study research design were adopted. The semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted to obtain in-depth data from each participant and analysed using a thematic analysis. The targeted population comprised 15 digitisation section employees from the Msunduzi Municipal Library. The researcher selected a population of the study that was related to the purpose of the research by utilising and applying purposive sampling techniques. All participants responded with a response rate of 100%. The findings revealed that the Msunduzi Municipal Library seemed ready to undertake the digital preservation programme. The library was found facing challenges such as a lack of a storage server to store and back up digitally preserved materials, a lack of funds, a lack of in-service training for its staff, faulty and or non-functioning digitisation machines, a lack of adequate maintenance of equipment, and a lack of enough equipment in preparation for digital preservation programme. It was discovered that the Msunduzi Municipal Library met the requirements for the digital preservation programme to undertake it, such as organisational infrastructure requirement, technological infrastructure requirement and resource requirement. Still, a few staff members did not think it met the requirements for the digital preservation program simply because they lacked a storage server. This paper recommends that Msunduzi Municipal Library and other institutions preparing for digital preservation programmes hire staff with relevant skills and competencies and engage in in-service training of their staff, especially those lacking these skills and competencies.

Objective is to reveal the opinion and preferences of dentists about using of rubber dam during routine dental treatment of patients with limited mouth opening. Eighty-two respondents (39 general dentists and 43 dentists of therapeutic field) participated in a survey. A 8-item questionnaire was developed and gave to participants in paper or electronic form. None answer showed significant dependences with gender of dentists. Younger doctors (35.9±7.5 years) are significantly (p = 0.018) more likely to believe that the use of a rubber dam in patients with limited mouth opening is possible than older doctors (45.0±12.8 years). With increasing age of the doctor, there is a tendency to reduce the use of a rubber dam for the treatment of posterior teeth in such patients (p = 0.006). General dentists are more likely to believe that the use of a rubber dam in such patients is possible, compared to dentists who specialized in therapeutic dentistry field (p = 0.018). General dentists more often use metal clamps in this clinical situation compared to dentists of therapeutic field (p = 0.023). Preferences of rubber dam using in patients with limited mouth opening do not depend on the gender of dentist. Younger doctors are more likely to believe that the use of a rubber dam in such patients is possible. With increasing of age and work experience, there is a tendency to reduce the use of a rubber dam for the treatment of posterior teeth in such patients. General dentists more often use metal clamps to compare with dentists of therapeutic field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Industrial collaborative robots play an essential role in smart manufacturing because they improve productivity while also ensuring workplace safety. However, the development of prognostic and health management systems to ensure the reliability of these robots has been a major challenge due to the lack of fault data. This paper proposed a digital twin scheme based on the fusion of the robot kinematic and dynamic models' information down to the powertrains (i.e., the joints motor, and gear) along with the control algorithms and uncertainty accommodation based upon deep learning. The presented digital twin concept has the potential to propel simulation-based fault prediction. We also highlight and discuss challenges and opportunities around the development of the hybrid digital twin for condition monitoring of industrial collaborative robots. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Overuse of empirical intravenous antibiotics in neonates in high-income countries (HICs) is well documented. The Kaiser Permanente neonatal early-onset sepsis (EOS) calculator is an evidence-based sepsis risk assessment tool that has demonstrated potential to reduce antibiotic usage in this population. The incidence of early-onset sepsis in most HICs is 0.4–0.8 per 1000 live births. The objective was to evaluate the calculator's impact on antibiotic rates and length of stay in a regional level II Special Care Nursery. A single-centre retrospective cohort study compared antibiotic administration rates in the first 72 h in neonates ≥35 weeks gestation born during two 6-month periods in 2019 (pre-EOS calculator) and 2021 (post-EOS calculator). Electronic and paper case records were accessed to capture data. Continuous data were summarised using mean and standard deviation, and categorical data were summarized using frequency distributions. There were 951 (2019) and 1129 (2021) infants born during the study periods. Following implementation of the calculator, antibiotic exposure decreased from 13.7% to 4.7% of all neonates without reported negative outcomes. Mean length of stay for neonates born across the two periods decreased from 2.38 to 2.13 days. Indications for antibiotic use shifted more towards clinical condition and away from obstetric risk factors. There were no culture-proven cases of sepsis or readmissions with EOS in either period. Implementation of the EOS calculator significantly reduced exposure to antibiotics, without adverse outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Keeping a record of attendance is a practice as old as the world and still as useful as ever, but being an old practice doesn't imply keeping to old methods, as much as every other aspect of modern human life, attendance registers are long overdue going through a digitization process. Creating a single-purpose digital attendance register for a specific field may seem ideal, it can be done relatively quickly, requiring at most a month of development time but other requirements such as multi-platform availability could increase either the development time or deployment costs of the solution and it could also become obsolete and require a complete re-writing in a year or two if any major changes to the structure of the organization happen. This paper proposes a digital solution for attendance register, which can easily and quickly be modified to accommodate any changes or even switching to a completely different field or type of organization, the minimum development time of such a project would begin at three months for full functionality with security adding another month or two however when done it would run on all major platforms and could be modified in as low as a single day to offer as a ready-made solution to a different organization and could also easily integrate hardware-based attendance tracking mechanisms.

This research paper presents an innovative approach to address the challenges associated with platitudinous paper certificates and electronic certificates. These challenges include issues such as preservation, management, verification inconvenience, poor reliability, and susceptibility to counterfeiting and tampering. The suggested approach involves an autonomous certificate system leveraging blockchain technology and smart contracts. Tailored for university students engaged in innovation and entrepreneurship competitions, this platform is intended to offer blockchain-based certification services. Within this system, various functions related to certificates, such as management, issuance, verification, and revocation, are executed through smart contracts. Structured data within these contracts stores information about signers, certificate templates, and certificate details. This structure simplifies the process of querying and validating certificates, all the while maintaining their security and authenticity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) have gained considerable interest in health care moving beyond traditional outcome measures of morbidity and mortality. In breast cancer surgery, women's' perceptions of appearance, function and quality of life have become increasingly important. The BREAST-Q questionnaire is a validated PROM for use in cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery in clinical practice. The objective of this study was to validate the Spanish electronic version of the BREAST-Q questionnaire, to verify the measurement equivalence of digital and paper versions and to identify the possible disadvantages and advantages of implementing this new tool. The study population included 113 patients undergoing breast cancer survey at a single hospital in Barcelona (Spain) who were able to complete both the electronic and paper versions of the preoperative module of the BREAST-Q questionnaire. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) in the four domains of the questionnaire between the two versions of the questionnaire was >0.9, with a weighted kappa of >0.74 at item level. The reliability of the internal consistency was also excellent, with Cronbach's alpha coefficient of >0.70 in all domains. Age was a limiting factor for the delivery of the electronic version of BREAST-Q, with 69 years of age as the cut-off point to obtain reliable results. The interchangeability of the electronic and paper versions of the BREAST-Q questionnaire facilitates implementation of this instrument in routine surgical oncological practice.

Background: The consumption of 'fast fashion', which is expedited by costeffective e-commerce systems, represents one of the major factors contributing to the acceleration of climate change. An emerging approach to steer consumers in the direction of more sustainable purchase decisions is digital nudging. This paper explores digital nudging in the context of green fashion e-commerce by testing the effectiveness of two nudging strategies on the decision to choose green fashion products (GFP) over regular fashion items. Method: This study was conducted as a between-subject online experiment (n=320) with four conditions simulating an e-commerce scenario. The participants were presented with different products: one was ecologically friendly, and another was the regular option. Depending on their randomized group allocation, the participants experienced a default nudge, a social norm nudge, a combination of both strategies, or no nudge. In addition, we conducted 10 qualitative interviews to gain a deeper understanding of consumers' decision process. Results: Our experiment failed to demonstrate statistically significant relationships between the various nudging strategies and GFP purchase decisions. However, additional explorative analyzes confirmed a backfire effect for the combination of nudging strategies. This reveals the previously overlooked influence of participants' identification on the effectiveness of digital nudging strategies. In addition, qualitative interviews revealed individual factors that influence sustainable e-commerce purchase decisions. Conclusion: This study contributes to information systems research by explaining the differences in the effectiveness of different nudging strategies regarding highinvolvement compared to low-involvement products. Moreover, it provides empirical evidence of a backfire effect resulting from a combination of digital nudging strategies (i.e., digital nudge stacking). Finally, the study underscores the leverage that individual factors have on both GFP purchase decision and the effectiveness of nudges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The emergence of the Internet has brought revolutionary changes to modern information technology. The development of electronic communication information storage technology facilitates people to access information anytime and anywhere, effectively achieving resource sharing. However, traditional methods scatter communication information to all nodes, but neglect the extraction of electronic communication information association features, resulting in low information storage efficiency. This article analyzes the efficiency management of electronic communication information storage in multi-threaded networks and sets up a control experiment. Comparing the method proposed in this article with traditional methods, this study focuses on five aspects: information redundancy storage, information space utilization, productivity, data accuracy, and data transmission efficiency. It is concluded that the average information redundancy storage capacity of traditional electronic information storage methods is 8.35 x 107 T which is 6 x 107 T higher than using multi wire network electronic communication information storage methods. It indicates that traditional redundant information occupies a large amount of storage space, and its storage value exceeds the upper limit of electronic communication information storage. This means that the stored information may be overwritten by redundant information, resulting in the loss of stored information. The experimental results show that using the method proposed in this paper for electronic communication information storage results in a high distribution density of storage space and a significant improvement in information storage efficiency.

The paper reports on ways used by the library to provide information to users at the time. Data were collected from the chief librarian and four librarians using face-to-face interviews and one focus group. The data were thematically analysed. Findings indicated that no services were offered to users during the time of the Covid-19 restrictions. The paper recommends the digital literacy training of users, the use of free databases, and the introduction of online library services. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we scrutinize the digital imperative of the practices and ideals of digital everyday life of Finnish youth born in 2005-2006 by dismantling the promises of digital youth. Our paper focuses on digital belonging and engagements in young people's everyday lives. We ask what these engagements tell us about the ideals of digital citizenship and agency of young people and how these ideals shape the understandings of the use of digital environments. To achieve these objectives, we draw on both qualitative and quantitative research material to analyze their interpretations of the use of digital technologies and their meanings. Our research reveals that it is important to elaborate on how digitalization is accessed, understood, and used. How youth shape their techno-social and techno-cultural configurations needs to be visible at the societal, structural, and life-course levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Xenophanes is a figurine made of a waxy mixture and grey plasticine, created by Yannis Pappas at the end of the twentieth century. During its short period of existence, the figurine presented severe plastic deformation, structural, and stability issues, with detached or missing elements. The artwork's earlier preserved states are documented by an archival photograph of 1994 and two casts dated to 2005. The physical treatment of its deformation is an irreversible intervention that may put the artwork in additional danger. The conservation of complex contemporary artworks comprises a challenging field of work, as the coexistence and aging of different and often pliable materials lead to multiple deformations. Their conservation treatments could be kept to a minimum for the preservation and understanding of the artworks, with the support of three-dimensional (3D) documentation and digital restoration. A digital restoration that simulates the physical treatment of an artwork aims to provide information that could assist with decisions made for its physical care by minimizing the risks. This paper examines the digital restoration of the small figurine Xenophanes following the steps of increased intervention of a probable physical treatment and how each step of this process may affect its stability. 3D documentation of the current condition of the artwork and its two casts was made utilizing optical laser scanning and structure from motion photogrammetry. The resulting 3D models facilitated the digital restoration of the artwork to its earlier states. The comparison and analysis of the 3D models and the digital restoration process provided information that could assist its physical treatment. The digital restoration of the complex plastic deformation of an artwork is a case that, to our knowledge, has not been addressed so far. The complexity of the progress, the ethical dilemmas that arise during the artwork's restoration, and the reflection on the restoration of a cultural artifact only in the digital environment encourage the rethinking of conservation.

The recent pandemic events in Thailand, Covid-19 in 2018, demonstrated the need for an event-based smart monitoring system. While a distributed multi-level architecture has emerged as an architecture of choice for a larger-scale smart event-based system that requires better latency, security, scalability, and reliability, a recently introduced data mesh paradigm can add a few additional benefits. The paradigm enables each district to become an event-based smart monitoring mesh and handle its analytics and monitoring workload. Districts can form a set of domains in a network of event-based smart community monitoring systems and provide data products for others during a crisis. This paper presents a distributed data mesh paradigm for an event-based smart monitoring product in a given community with predefined domains. The paper presents smart monitoring as a data product between domains. Key considerations for designing an event-based smart monitoring data product are given. The author introduces three possible domains necessary for creating a smart monitoring system in each community. Each domain creates a data product for a given domain and shares data between domains. Finally, a three-layer analytics architecture for a smart monitoring product in each domain and a use case is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Indigenous communities and their way of life are facing significant challenges due to globalisation, industrialisation and urbanisation, which have forced them to gradually adopt the architecture, lifestyle, and culture of mainstream society. This paper proposes a Smart Vernacular Architecture (SVA) framework and applies it to the indigenous dwellings of the Todas, a tribal community living in India's Nilgiri mountains. The architecture and indoor space quality of these dwellings are investigated in this paper based on specific thermal comfort parameters like the interior temperature and airflow. The indoor temperatures of Toda dwellings are simulated for the predicted climate of 2100 to evaluate their climate resilience. Finally, the paper illustrates the usage of virtual reality (VR) to explore and visualise the Toda settlement and the interior environment parameters of a Toda dwelling to effectively convey and preserve the knowledge of vernacular architecture. In a nutshell, this paper elucidates the advantages of vernacular architecture and construction methods to arouse the interest of academics, policymakers, students, and professionals in preserving architecture, culture, and indigenous knowledge.

Background: Digital education has expanded since the COVID-19 pandemic began. A substantial amount of recent data on how students learn has become available for learning analytics (LA). LA denotes the "measurement, collection, analysis, and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs." Objective: This scoping review aimed to examine the use of LA in health care professions education and propose a framework for the LA life cycle. Methods: We performed a comprehensive literature search of 10 databases: MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, ERIC, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, CINAHL, ICTP, Scopus, and IEEE Explore. In total, 6 reviewers worked in pairs and performed title, abstract, and full-text screening. We resolved disagreements on study selection by consensus and discussion with other reviewers. We included papers if they met the following criteria: papers on health care professions education, papers on digital education, and papers that collected LA data from any type of digital education platform. Results: We retrieved 1238 papers, of which 65 met the inclusion criteria. From those papers, we extracted some typical characteristics of the LA process and proposed a framework for the LA life cycle, including digital education content creation, data collection, data analytics, and the purposes of LA. Assignment materials were the most popular type of digital education content (47/65, 72%), whereas the most commonly collected data types were the number of connections to the learning materials (53/65, 82%). Descriptive statistics was mostly used in data analytics in 89% (58/65) of studies. Finally, among the purposes for LA, understanding learners' interactions with the digital education platform was cited most often in 86% (56/65) of papers and understanding the relationship between interactions and student performance was cited in 63% (41/65) of papers. Far less common were the purposes of optimizing learning: the provision of at-risk intervention, feedback, and adaptive learning was found in 11, 5, and 3 papers, respectively. Conclusions: We identified gaps for each of the 4 components of the LA life cycle, with the lack of an iterative approach while designing courses for health care professions being the most prevalent. We identified only 1 instance in which the authors used knowledge from a previous course to improve the next course. Only 2 studies reported that LA was used to detect at-risk students during the course's run, compared with the overwhelming majority of other studies in which data analysis was performed only after the course was completed.

COVID-19 has brought new hybrid learning environments with some students in the classroom and some others online, synchronously, due to the needs of social distancing. These new hybrid learning environments pose new challenges, for example for group collaboration. This paper presents Smart Groups, a system aimed at helping teachers to orchestrate collaboration in hybrid learning environments and assesses its usability and usefulness through a simulation study. Smart Groups identifies the students that are in the classroom and online, automates the creation of groups (recommending collaborative learning flow patterns to teachers and considering the previous work done by students), supports the communication among students and the use of additional tools and resources for collaboration, and helps maintain the safety distance among the students who are in the classroom. The usability of Smart Groups has been assessed through a mock-up by 60 users (41 students and 19 teachers) with the system usability scale (SUS) obtaining good results (mean = 75.47, standard deviation = 14.95, median = 76.25). A subgroup (10 teachers out of 19) carried out follow-up interviews using the technology acceptance model (TAM) and highlighted the usefulness of Smart Groups to orchestrate collaboration in hybrid learning environments. Implications for practice or policy:. • Smart Groups supports teachers in the orchestration of groups in hybrid learning environments. • Smart Groups facilitates group coordination and communication among students. • Smart Groups helps maintain the safety distance.

The aim of this study is to investigate whether the high school students' attitudes towards writing on paper and digital writing were affected by their personal characteristics and familial characteristics. Survey method was used to determine high school students' attitudes towards writing on paper and digital writing. The sample of the study was determined using convenience sampling. Accordingly, a total of 301 students studying at Kahramanmaraş Anatolian High School during the 2019-2020 academic year were included in the study. "Inventory of Attitudes Towards Writing on Paper and Digital Writing" was used to collect the research data. Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis and Wilcoxon Signed-Rank tests were used to analyse the data. Based on the findings of the research, it was concluded that high school students' attitudes towards writing on paper and digital writing did not differ according to their personal characteristics or familial characteristics, except for one independent variable, that is the father's educational attainment.

At present, universities are facing a critical period of transition from digital campus to smart campus. Because cloud service data has the characteristics of diversity, in addition to structured data, there are also unstructured data, which play an important role in the study and life of the majority of students. Therefore, it is very important to improve the construction level of smart campus cloud service platform. At this stage, there are great differences between the service platform under the traditional model and the smart campus platform under the big data computer system. Under the traditional mode, the construction method of smart campus cloud service platform in the city has some shortcomings. Therefore, it is urgent to build a smart campus cloud service platform. Based on this, this paper compares the smart campus cloud service platform of the traditional service platform and the big data computer system. The results show that the latter has a timely response speed and can bring high-quality and efficient data services to users. At the same time, it also analyzes the ideas and goals of building an intelligent cloud service platform, and puts forward corresponding construction methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

MnemoRoom4U is an AR (Augmented Reality) tool that uses a memory-palace strategy for foreign-language training. A memory palace helps information recall with the aid of object association in visualisations of familiar spatial surroundings. In MnemoRoom4U, paper or digital flashcards are replaced with virtual notes containing L1 words and their L2 translations that are placed on top of real physical objects inside a familiar environment, such as one's room, home, office space, etc. The AR-supported notes aid associative memory by establishing a relationship between the physical objects in the user's mind and the virtual lexis to be retained in L2. Learners first set up a path through their familiar environment, attaching virtual sticky notes--each containing a target word to be memorised together with its corresponding source-language translation--to real-life objects (e.g. furniture in their homes or offices). They then take the same path again, reviewing all the words, and finally carry out a retention test. MnemoRoom4U is a technological artefact designed for specific didactic purposes in the Unity game engine with the ARCore augmented-reality plug-in for Android. This work takes a Design-Science approach with phenomenological, exploratory underpinnings tracking back to the efficiency of spatial mnemonics previously reported quantitatively and combines it with AR technology to effect L2 vocabulary recall.

Our research aims to better understand how public institutions have implemented the rules that guarantee the effective exercise of the right of the civil servant to refuse to sign administrative acts. Law 140/2017 and the 2019 Administrative Code granted the civil servants the right of refusals to sign. These laws protects public sector employees when they raise flags over illegal activities within a government organization. The paper investigates the background procedure that enables effective exercise of refusals to sign right. We seek to better understand how public entities have implemented the rules that guarantee the effective exercise of the right of the civil servant to refuse to sign administrative acts. Trough data collection and analysis, we assess the performance of public entities legal counteractive measures such as the elaboration of the procedure and the book keeping of refusals to sign in a public register published on paper and digital. Our goal is to improve current situation and to make recommendations that lead to limitation of politics influence and ensure the neutrality of civil servants in the exercise of their duties.

In modern companies, the functions of divisions, departments and staff are provided by telecommunication transmitting analog and digital unit information via SCS. Such cable system refers to the use of copper or optical cable networks, passive and active switching devices. Structured cabling system or abbreviated SCS is a complex set of cable trunks and switching equipment that provide the transfer of various types of media data (audio, video, computer data) and is the basis for the operation and integration of telephone, local computer networks, security systems and other services. Many modern systems of security or communications today integrate a wide variety of interfaces into their arsenal, greatly expanding their capabilities and performance. In this paper a smart model based on high-speed communication network with the help of structured cabling system (SCS). Here the speed and bandwidth play the major role. The proposed system focused the highspeed communication between sender and receiver with some higher bandwidth optimization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Researchers have developed a new bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, that can convert polyethylene into a silk protein. This process could potentially be used to produce cotton-like material that can be transformed into thread or other useful forms. The researchers are hopeful that this low-energy process, which does not require harmful chemicals, can be further developed for commercial use. Additionally, Swiss researchers have investigated the release of nanoparticles from polyester textiles during washing, finding that a significant proportion of the particles are oligomers rather than true nanoplastics. Further studies are needed to understand the potential toxicity of these particles. [Extracted from the article]

Within a globalised digital environment characterised by increasingly diverse and dynamic social media platforms, video creators and their content production and circulation now typically operate across multiple social media platforms. Focusing on Chinese content creators and their cross-platform and cross-cultural social media practices, this paper draws on digital ethnographic research to analyse how user-generated content and creator identities are constructed across Chinese and Western social media services including YouTube, Bilibili, Douyin and RED. This article asks: how do Chinese content creators produce and circulate videos across multiple social media platforms and diverse cultures? How do these creators navigate platform architectures to present, manage and commercialise their identity given the cross-platform and transnational context? The findings suggest that Chinese creators' cross-platform practices can be seen as a form of platform migration, in which they learn to move within and across platforms to ensure they create the optimal conditions for their content to spread and be viewed. These migratory platform practices are, however, constrained by audiences, algorithms, and advertiser expectations for creators to construct and maintain a single and consistent creator identity. These transnational creator identities include elements of both novelty and normativity in video content, such as niche or exotic performances, which serve up content for negotiating algorithmic visibility, or negotiating audiences for achieving a "cosmopolitan Chineseness". As such, we can see that creator identities are both afforded and shaped through the globalised cultures, economies and politics of online video-sharing platforms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Digital twins have emerged as novel technology in the wind energy sector that enables the design, monitoring and prediction of wind turbine performance. Despite growing attention on their potential, little is known about how digital twins are designed, by whom and how their design choices affect multiple aspects of decision making in the development of wind energy. Using a framework of co-production, this paper examines digital twins as boundary objects and the role of twinning as boundary work that involves an active process of design and affects multiple aspects of decision making in the development of wind energy. Our results demonstrate how the design of digital twins evolves throughout the twinning process, affected by regulation, choices of expert twinners on data and models, and what constitutes a matter of concern. We shed light on the role of these twinners in influencing which actors and their matters of concern are included and excluded during the twinning process. Our understanding of twinning as an active process of governance by design more clearly reveals how digital twins are not objective representations of reality, but a function of boundary work. We conclude that more transparency is needed over how digital twins are designed to enhance their role as technologies that foster a transition towards more sustainable energy systems and decision-making over wind energy technologies and their integration in landscapes. • There is limited understanding of how digital twins are designed • We focus on wind energy and 'twinning' as an act of governance • We unpack twinning as boundary work and digital twins as boundary objects • Twinning involves choices about data, models, concerns and regulation • Priorities and focus in twinning may steer wind energy transitions [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A reliable human-robot workcell relies on accurate and nearly real-time updated models, especially in a constrained yet dynamic environment. This paper investigates digital twin-driven human-robot collaborative assembly enabled by function blocks. Leveraging sensor data, digital models are developed to precisely mimic physical human-robot collaborative settings supported by a digital-twin architecture. An advance-execution twin system based on the current status through real-time condition monitoring performs assembly planning and adaptive robot control using a network of function blocks. An augmented reality-based interaction method using HoloLens further facilitates human-centric assembly. An engine-assembly case study is performed to validate the effectiveness of the system.
