Contact formulations for analysis of micropolar media with finite continuum beam elements

Microscale beam-like structures are standard components of micromechanical systems in many devices. However, the small dimensionality affects their deformation characteristics and leads to misinterpretations of the results. Presenting such size dependency is possible with advanced continuum descriptions via introducing additional variables compared to the classical one. Hence, the problems where contact occurs require the readjustment of boundary conditions considering these extra parameters. That burdens the already challenging task of contact problem calculations and restricts most demonstration examples to two-dimensional problems and geometrical linearity. The resolution of the imposed restrictions within finite element modeling further emphasizes the usage of advanced media in design and facilitates its application to various problems, which is the aim of this paper. The delivery of that task is as follows. Firstly, we present the kinematics and material descriptions for the micropolar media. The authors propose to use a newly developed continuum-based micropolar beam formulation to avoid an overwhelming computational burden and, at the same time, deal with nonlinear stress–strain relations. Secondly, the work develops a contact approach within the micropolar theory from two-dimensional to three-dimensional elasticity, although the contact is considered frictionless. Finally, it compares two existing contact formulations, including the developed one, for the contact beam problems, using the examples of two collinear sliding beams’ bending.

Temporal repertoires in contemporary activism: The cases of Fridays for Future, 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence and ‘It’s Thursday Again!’

ABSTRACT This paper proposes the novel concept of ‘temporal activist repertoires’ (TAR) defined as the intentional and meaningful selection and use of temporal elements, such as time frame, timing, tempo, duration, and temporality in collective action’s tactics and frames. Collectives thereby draw on culturally resonant temporal references to interweave the symbolic and strategic choices in making their demands, organising political action and/or sustaining commitment to the political cause. To answer the question of how social movements use TAR and how these are positioned alongside other repertoires of contention, the paper analyses: the global Fridays for the Future and 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, and the Austrian ‘It’s Thursday Again!’. The paper shows that the innovative potential of TAR is linked to the use of technologically advanced media tools for the purposes of coordination, pressure, recruitment, mobilisation and visibility, as well as for the adaptations that these movements require, which include strategies to build on past traditions and/or to connect with currently existing allied movements.

DETECTION AND SYSTEMATIZATION OF SIGNS AND MARKERS OF MODIFICATIONS IN MEDIA CONTENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A METHODOLOGY TO ENHANCING CRITICAL THINKING IN THE ERA OF DEEPFAKES

Modernity demonstrates a critical need for pedagogical support and the development of a methodology to enhance critical thinking in the face of escalating misinformation and advanced media manipulation, mainly through deepfake technology. The paper focuses on creating a comprehensive framework for detecting manipulated content and identifying indicators such as pixelization, unnatural expressions, etc. With attention to international and Ukrainian efforts, the work advocates for ongoing research adapted to evolving technologies to improve media literacy programs in combating emerging forms of misinformation. Problem statement. The problem is the urgent need for a comprehensive methodology that fosters critical thinking skills to combat disinformation and manipulation of artificially reproduced media content, particularly in the context of emerging technologies like deepfakes. The challenge involves assessing existing pedagogical approaches, addressing gaps, and equipping both learners and educators to navigate the complexities of the digital age. Digital transformation, in general, and the spread of artificial intelligence for media generation, in particular, are irreversible processes in the modern world, so the urgent issue, given the challenges of the digital economy and the needs of the digital society, is to find forms, methods, and means of shaping the critical thinking of citizens to counteract manipulation and disinformation by synthetically reproduced media content. It is essential to develop a database with systematically organized materials categorized based on identified markers for the subsequent creation of training materials to solve the outlined issues. Materials and methods. A comprehensive approach was employed, combining general (systemic, instrumental, and functional approaches, dialectical and comparative analysis, synthesis, and systematization for the study of pedagogical, scientific-technical, and methodological literature), specific (observation and analysis of educational practices), and general-logical methods (extrapolation, induction, and deduction for formulating conclusions) in scientific research to solve the tasks set in the study. This allowed for the examination of the current state, evaluation of the practical results of implementing the developed methodology for critical thinking formation, and identification of priority avenues for improving education in the context of the strategy to enhance media literacy and critical thinking among the population and science. The study aimed to determine priority pathways within the framework of the development of methodology of critical thinking and pedagogical support to counteract disinformation and manipulation of artificially reproduced media content and to characterize its potential scientifically. The development of critical thinking and pedagogical support to counteract disinformation and manipulation of artificially reproduced media content requires the following materials analysis: scientific-technical literature (materials offering a scientific understanding of the technical aspects related to media content creation, modification, and reproduction), methodological literature (guides and methodologies focused on developing educational frameworks and strategies to enhance critical thinking in the context of media literacy), synthetically reproduced media content (media content, especially in the context of emerging technologies like deep fake to identify modification markers). Results. The study is devoted to analyzing, identifying, and systematizing markers and signals for identifying media manipulation to create a database for the methodology in the form of methodological cards. A comprehensive database with classification is being developed, focusing on methodological interactive cards with 66 curated cases of deepfakes and synthetically reproduced media (in Ukrainian). This initiative aims to provide educators, researchers, and learners with a versatile resource for understanding the challenges posed by manipulated media. Conclusions. In response to the escalating threat of disinformation and advanced media manipulation, there is a critical need to develop a robust methodology for enhancing critical thinking skills. The study highlights global concerns about false information, mainly through deepfake technology, jeopardizing public trust and enabling psychological manipulation. Future research should consider revising media literacy programs to elevate citizens' critical thinking in the face of evolving digital landscapes and the increasing capabilities of artificial intelligence in generating media content.

Online identity work dynamics of Instagram micro-influencers: an extreme case approach.

Advanced media technologies have become an integral part of people's daily lives, providing them with new tools and environments for the formation and enactment of their identities. To date, the literature acknowledges that media technologies, such as social networking sites, are used to form and enact online identities, and that these platforms can simultaneously pose challenges to individuals' identity work. However, we know little about the precise online identity work strategies that individuals employ in response to the challenges they face over time. This paper examines the online identity work dynamics of Instagram micro-influencers, for whom social network sites enable and guide them in forming and enacting their online identities on a daily basis. The study was guided by the following research question: what are the challenges that Instagram micro-influencers perceive online and what are the online identity work strategies that they employ in response to these challenges over time? This study employs an extreme case approach to rigorously explore the lives of seven micro-influencers on Instagram. We combine in-depth data from narrative interviews, longitudinal data from online autobiographical narratives revealed through the participants' Instagram timelines, and follow-up interviews. Our analysis revealed three main themes that highlight the challenges that Instagram micro-influencers face online: (1) amplified social expectations, (2) feelings of inauthenticity, and, as a result thereof, (3) psychological distress. We found that these challenges were viewed as catalysts for their online identity work processes. We identified three key online identity work strategies that the Instagram micro-influencers employed in response over time: (1) experimenting with their online identities, followed by either (2) segmenting between their online and offline identities, or (3) adding identities through online multiplicity. Our research provides new insights into how individuals may respond to the challenge of managing their online identities over time by engaging in different online identity work strategies. This study highlights the importance of designing online media technologies that enable individuals to cope with online challenges. We emphasize the need to design online spaces for (1) the expression of authentic identities, (2) community building, and (3) online multiplicity.

<p><em>Media progress must be seen through the broad communication capabilities that exist today, the shift from simple media to advanced media. The changing face and changes in human development, a cycle that was previously slow and required long interactions, now very simple and fast. One of the transitions is to social media which is widely accessed and has an impact on a person's self-confidence regarding their own body image. Social media is the latest in a series of web-based networking innovations developed to make it easier to convey, take part, offer and structure online organizations so they can spread their content. In this research, a descriptive qualitative study was used to clearly describe the impact of social media on self-confidence regarding body image of Gen Z (1995-2010) in Cimahi City. Social media turns out to have both negative and positive impacts on those who actively access it in everyday life.</em></p>

New evidence of the relationship between media, culture industry, and mineral efficiency in high and low income asian economies

In addressing the current challenge, this research thoroughly investigates the intricate interplay between media, culture, and mineral efficiency in 23 diverse Asian economies, classified based on their income levels. Leveraging data spanning from 2005 to 2020 and utilizing logarithmic transformations, this study navigates the complex web of relationships. The results highlight a notable positive impact of media penetration on mineral efficiency, particularly in high and upper middle-income nations that boast advanced media infrastructure and higher levels of education. Concurrently, increased government expenditure on media amplifies mineral efficiency within these contexts. The influence of advertising, however, varies depending on consumer behavior, media infrastructure, and market maturity. Control variables bring to light the negative impact of population size and the positive correlation of clean energy with mineral efficiency in high and upper middle-income economies. Formulating tailored policies for media-driven enhancement of mineral efficiency is crucial for both income groups, with a focus on strategic campaigns, cultural initiatives, and educational programs.

Hybrid manufacturing of AlSi10Mg metamaterials: Process, static and impact response attributes

The work investigates the microstructural, static and impact mechanical attributes of hybrid-cast aluminum AlSi10Mg metamaterials. For the analysis, different metamaterial topologies, namely BCC, IWP and gyroid-based architectures, are considered. The microstructural characteristics of hybrid-cast metamaterials are thoroughly investigated, assessing their attributes through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and CT-scanning methods. Moreover, their static and impact attributes are experimentally characterized, quantifying elastic and post-elastic properties, while associating the performance of hybrid-cast and as-built, powder bed fusion (PBF) based metamaterials. PBF samples yield overall superior Young's moduli and higher peak stresses, though upon a brittle post-elastic response. Contrariwise, hybrid-cast metamaterials result in a ductile post-elastic, continuum-type plastification performance with a considerable energy absorption capacity that depends on the metamaterial topology, aspects both experimentally and numerically elaborated. Under dynamic impact loading, substantial peak stress and toughness enhancements are recorded for the hybrid-cast specimens. The analysis furnishes process-structure-property benchmark data on the mechanical performance of advanced, hybrid-cast metamaterial topologies for the first time. We aspire that the provided results foster novel pathways in the engineering of advanced media for a variety of base materials beyond the aluminum alloy here investigated.

Managing future cities: media and information and communication technologies in the context of change

Abstract Purpose The goal of this paper is to examine the usage of information technologies and media in two European case studies – Berlin and Warsaw. Findings from the research can be used to create urban policies and media infrastructure design, based on the different strategies of two European cities. Berlin and Warsaw have taken different paths in implementing the smart city concept, adapting the idea to their economic, historical, and social realities. Media are understood here as human-machine and machine-machine communications, and also in terms of both physical and digital media infrastructure. Methodology The research aims at examining strategies and institutions (both private and public) in light of the practical implementation of smart solutions by City Hall authorities. The study combines analysis of grey literature (news reports, corporate strategies, City Hall documentation) with qualitative research: 30 semi-structured interviews conducted with local municipalities and city planners in both cities. Findings Findings are likely to provide evidence potential drivers and barriers to the implementation of smart city solutions. The results provide evidence that media and information technologies in the city are implemented due to the data policies of entities that usually implement smart city strategy independently. The task of city authorities is to guarantee access to basic infrastructure, which is the basis for creating other solutions by private entities. Practical implications The empirical research is likely to provide evidence that Berlin and Warsaw have not yet fully appreciated the solutions based on communication between machines, but there is increasing use of ‘ad hoc’ solutions. Social implications This study may be used as a source of information for smart city managers, media infrastructure, and urban strategy with a focus on residents and information and communication technologies. Findings are addressed to media and urban experts and scholars, as well as sociologists, political scientists, engineers, ICT specialists, policy-makers, city managers and citizens. Value The study shows the growing importance of mobile devices, media-like services and ICT have resulted in changes in City Hall’s development strategies and new theoretical approaches through which the cities might be analysed. This study finds that networks, platforms and media infrastructure have been used to describe new ways of communication between city authorities, citizens and machines. It has been argued that fostering an advanced media infrastructure (soft and hard) has the potential to create “The Future City”.

Integration of 5G Wireless into Hybrid Media Production Including SMPTE ST 2110

Professional media production will in the future require more flexibility over where and how its operations are provided, including where there are multiple networks, which could include 5G, wired, cloud-based, and home networks. The broadcast industry’s adoption of live networked media systems is still relatively immature, especially in wireless and there is not yet a consistent and complete approach to describing architectures and the interfaces required for interoperability. This article describes a set of gateway functions for a professional media production using both 5G and wired (SMPTE ST 2110-based) media networks, in particular a scenario from the EU Horizon IC-41 Project 5G-RECORDS ( <uri xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">https://www.5g-records.eu/</uri> ) about a multicamera 5G-enabled broadcast studio. The Media Gateway (MG) converts media streams between the wireless and wired environments and the Media Orchestration and Control Gateway (MOCG) provides discovery, configuration, connection, and control of broadcast equipment deployed in various locations. In a ST 2110 environment, the latter is done in part through Advanced Media Workflow Association (AMWA) Networked Media Open Specifications (NMOS) APIs; however, this approach needs to be adapted for use in a 5G network, through the introduction of middleware components that decouple the wired and wireless. This article gives a detailed description of the wireless studio use-case and the approach taken by 5G-RECORDS in developing the MG and MOCG.

Role of Traditional Media in Preventing Misinformation About COVID-19: A Literature Review

Traditional media are increasingly marginalized by ‘the new media’ or ‘social media’, which are declared as advanced media. Behind this progress, many studies state that online media causes a lot of misinformation in the community. During the COVID-19 pandemic, people continue to look for sources of information from trusted media, between both media to be used as a reliable reference. This article's objective is to promote public understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic by describing how traditional media played a crucial role in disseminating accurate information and combating rapidly spreading misinformation. The study was a literature study using PRISMA guidelines. Relevant articles included in the analysis were obtained from several scientific databases such as PubMed, SAGE, Science Direct, and PLOS One (published between 2020 and 2021), by using the relevant keywords “traditional media”, “misinformation”, “COVID-19”, then determined by criteria feasibility: (1) scientific journals, (2) research objectives, (3) open access, and (4) research results that are clear and in accordance with research objectives. We come to the conclusion that the majority of the public are understanding of and have a high level of trust in traditional media as a source of credible information during the COVID-19 pandemic and as a guide for preventing the spread of misinformation.

Finance Must Be Defended: Cybernetics, Neoliberalism and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)

In the last decade, interest in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) surged dramatically. This article contends that corporate perspectives on ESG—as managing risk and/or returning expected value—are insufficient to account for developments presently unfolding in the ESG finance space. There, novel derivative tools are being developed and deployed, promising to flip the sustainability market on its head. Unlike other sustainability metrics or strategies, ESG derivatives do not attempt to price a given firm’s risk profile in light of the environment, but rather seek to price the risk profile of environmental catastrophe itself. What this translocation of risk prophesies is the direct application of financial engineering to the climate. In this article, re-visiting the late work of Friedrich Hayek and tracing his legacy in Michel Foucault’s lectures on neoliberalism frames my argument that the modern financial system from which these derivatives spring is best understood as a cybernetic one. Cybernetic systems are ones that endeavor to negate entropy and maintain organization by means of information feedback loop-based learning; in finance, this takes the form of Hayekian price discovery. With ESG derivatives, the system of cybernetic finance is presently setting to work converting climate uncertainty into pricing efficiency. Because derivatives such as these represent the polity’s most advanced media for the meaningful sensation of threats, what emerges about the environment from the trade of these products will soon be fed backwards as a powerful set of inputs to governance, shaping how the climate is brought into representation and what responses to its associated crises are possible.

An ST 2110 Network-Attached Display Adapter for Virtualizing Production

Graphics processing unit (GPU) installations in post-production and broadcast facilities require video to be sent remotely conforming to the SMPTE ST 2110 standards for plug-and-play device connectivity. Furthermore, in such facilities, workstations are now being virtualized and hosted in the data center with what would have previously been a physically attached serial digital video (SDI) reference display replaced by an Internet Protocol (IP) network connection. We present a SMPTE ST 2110 virtual network-attached reference display adapter using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware that presents the GPU and network interface card (NIC) as a display on the computer workstation desktop. Color-accurate rendered video frames are transmitted directly from GPU device memory. Alignment of the GPU display of the rendered frame and the synchronization of the audio, video, and ancillary data streams are maintained by precision time protocol (PTP). Advanced Media Workflow Association Networked Media Open Specifications (AMWA NMOS) integration permits the discovery and registration of the virtual network-attached reference display adapter as a source node on the media network such that it can be remotely managed and controlled by software greatly simplifying the administration compared with a physically connected display and associated cables. Content creation applications send ST 2110-compliant video, audio, and ancillary data flows on the media network from a virtualized computer workstation desktop without the cost of directly integrating ST 2110 transmission capabilities.

Introduction—Migrants and Their Smartphones

The increasing symbiosis between contemporary mobility and global Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has been widely recognized in both migration and media studies.1 Advanced media technology, including smartphones, facilitates information exchange and instantaneous communication.2 The pervasive use of smartphones is an everyday reality for migrants, whose activities are increasingly taking place online and in real time.3 Smartphone use by migrants and their families illustrates the different scales of modern mobility within structural socioeconomic and political orders.4 Smartphones, and those applications downloaded to the device, enhance connectivity5 with regard to transactions, entertainment, socialization, networking, and activism. They help with community building and boost a sense of belonging among people who are connected via various applications.

How to Deal with the Fabricated Hadith: Some Notes for Hadith Dispersion in Social Media

In Islam, the fabricated hadith is the least acknowledged hadith. The scholars unanimously reject this hadith and forbid its recitation without identifying its status. Fabricated hadith’s core perversion is its justification for the Prophet Muhammad’s assassination (PBUH). Falsification of hadith has harmed numerous facets of life, including faith, religious legislation, and acts of devotion. Additionally, the number of false hadiths is growing daily. This chilling reality has become a concern due to the widespread dissemination of such hadiths through modern technology. The dissemination of falsified hadiths via social media has emerged as a new issue that new-generation Muslims must take seriously, particularly individual awareness, knowledge, ethics, and morals.This paper will emphasize the hadith’s history and falsification aspects, assess its dispersion tendencies using more advanced media, and recommend many tips for preventing further dissemination. Using a qualitative method, this study found several guidelines to ensure the dispersion of fabricated hadith is handled properly, such as not believing in anything quickly, ensuring authenticity before sharing, and providing advice to admit mistakes in spreading the fabricated hadith. In this regard, we encourage academic scholars to conduct research on fabricated hadiths in order to preserve the purity and authority of the Prophet’s hadiths as the second Islamic source for Muslims.

ONLINE ADVERTISING – HISTORY, EVOLUTION, AND CHALLENGES

The rise of the Internet was closely followed by the emergence of a new advertising medium – Online Advertising. Its rapid growth owes much to the tremendous advancements of the so-called Advertising Technology or AdTech. The AdTech improvements led to a substantial reduction in the cost of targeting and, consequently, to increased media investments from advertisers. Programmatic advertising, the most technologically advanced form of online advertising, makes use of advanced media trading algorithms, including machine learning. It involves a high degree of technological complexity coupled with a lack of transparency and has many advertisers complaining that it works like a ’black box’. The main technological evolutions that shaped the industry will be critically analysed, with a focus on the effects of this growing technological complexity over the market structure. The emergence of ever-more complex industry algorithms was fuelled by a growing quantity of user data and led to complaints from the general public and, recently, to legal actions against the two companies that dominate the market, Google and Facebook. Following an overview of the settled and ongoing legal cases, we conclude that the impact of the rulings, especially the potential ban on the use of 3rd party cookies, could present a huge challenge for advertisers and completely transform the industry. Non-cookie based solutions will need to be developed, but this could negatively impact the advertisers’ results. The Online Advertising industry, as a whole, will need to completely rethink its way of functioning, evolving towards a more sustainable and privacy-respectful business model. Our paper aims to present the emergence of Online Advertising, its evolution in the past three decades, the role of Advertising Technology (AdTech) in shaping the industry s practices and the impact of the legal actions it is currently confronted with.
