Construction and Validation of An Audiovisual Program on Body Education

Mass Media Culture in Slovakia (on the Example of Tracking the Value Message of Media Content Flowing to the Public)

The media inherently reflect the cultural, political and social contexts of a nation through products (audiovisual programmes). Public opinion to some extent participates in the profiling of the programmes broadcast. The thematic concept of media products is marked by the current social current – the mainstream. The paper deals with the state of contemporary Slovak media in terms of value setting, specifically noting the pitfalls related to censorship, i.e. blocking uncomfortable opinions. It gives examples from media practice testifying to the violation of the typical principles of respecting the values of the pluralistic society in which we have been living for more than three decades. The main objective of the paper is to make the public image concerning media freedom (reflecting on problematic social causes) more accessible by presenting the stated facts, comparing them and placing them in a broader substantive context. Freedom of expression (thought) in the media should be maintained to a healthy degree even at the cost of expressing an opinion that contradicts the rhetoric of those in political power.

What is Life? The Artistic Aspect of the Embodied Intelligence and Soft Robotics: Life in Sonic Arts, Audio-Visual Programming, and Handicrafts Design

The artistic aspect is the ‘dancer’ (Gary Zukav) [7] in the machine. There is an embryonic potentiality for embodied intelligence, soft robotics, and engineering if we emphasise the artistic aspect and employ it as an indispensable element. Art is less weighted in science, technology, and engineering than functionalities and applications. Equivalently, there is a potential under-explored advantage of science and technology-based artistic creation instead of individualistic improvisation, interpretation, and expression. Starting from the philosophical and scientific question, What is life? this paper reviewed influential theories from entropy, ‘code-script’ by Erwin Schrödinger, ‘wetware’, cell compartmentation by Paul Nurse, sentient machine by Anil Seth, to the ‘Dance’ by Gary Zukav, the ‘30 000’ organ by Denis Noble, the 100,000 protein sonification by Markus Buehler, and a bio-inspired composition by Alberto Carretero using P-system. With my research on cell-inspired audio-visual works The Cell Planet using Touch Designer, music creation for the Protein Misfolding project, and the soft-robotic inspired biomimetic textiles and art, this paper provides solutions for integrating technology, science, engineering, and art from a deeper, experimental, and philosophical context.

Text and Context in Multimedia Translation

Multimedia translation refers to the process of translating multimedia content, such as videos, audio, and images, from one language to another. This type of translation is becoming increasingly important as more and more content is being produced and distributed globally. Multimedia translation is a complex field that requires in-depth technical and linguistic expertise and a thorough knowledge of the culture and communication norms of the target language. Plurisemiotic and micro-textual analyses of translations can help to develop an effective translation grid. The aim of this article would be, on one side, to restore certain implicit and explicit parameters of a silent source text so that a multimedia translation faithfully communicates the original and multidimensional meaning of a source text. On the other side, this article will try to demonstrate the usefulness of applying some concepts from a branch of socio-semiotics concerned with the production of multimodal texts that can be easily incorporated into existing methods in translation studies. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect multimedia translation to become even more sophisticated and effective. We will try to show in this article that the real context occupies a large place in which the work of translating audiovisual programs is carried out while presenting the various challenges of audiovisual translation, which is part of an extremely dynamic field that combines theory and practical. The aim of this article is to attempt to provide answers to these questions due to the increasing complexity of textual concepts and text production today. Translation and text production sometimes become almost indistinguishable, which will increase the emphasis on text analysis and different forms of intertextuality rather than on translation in the strictest sense.

A Study on the Determination of Originality of Chinese Short Video Templates

Under the rapid development of the Internet, China's short video industry has entered a period of rapid development. As an emerging technology product born in recent years, Short Video has the characteristics of a low creation threshold, convenient viewing method, and fast dissemination, which users love. Many bloggers have gained massive traffic through the Short video and thus have gained huge economic income. With the explosion of the short video industry, large short video companies have launched video editing software to support the video platform, such as Byte Jumping's cut screen APP and Racer Technology's fast shadow APP. Moreover, B station must cut APP (China Association of Network Audiovisual Program Services, 2021). Compared with traditional video editing software, this application's creation difficulty is low and easy to operate. In contrast, the application provides a variety of internal templates, and users only need to follow the prompts to upload pictures or videos can be. The appearance of short video templates helps users save many learning and time costs and dramatically increases user activity and dependence. However, with the popularity of short video templates, academics, and practitioners have not reached a unanimous conclusion on whether "short video templates" can be protected by copyright. This article takes the first case of a copyright dispute over short video templates in China as an example and discusses the relevant issues.

Film Festivals as Spaces for Knowledge Exchange and Community Building

In this article, Ana Rosa Marques discusses the origins and development of CachoeiraDoc, an annual documentary film festival organized since 2010 by the faculty and students of the Film and Audiovisual Program at the Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia (UFRB) in the Northeast of Brazil. She argues that, beyond an artistic event celebrating cinema, CachoeiraDoc has been a space in which the university and the residents of the small town of Cachoeira enter into a fruitful dialogue, exchanging knowledge and ultimately engaging in community building.

S514 Virtual Reality Improves Symptoms of Functional Dyspepsia: Results of a Randomized, Controlled, Double-Blind Pilot Study

Introduction: Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a common functional GI disorder, characterized by symptoms of abdominal pain, nausea, and/or early satiety. Virtual reality (VR) is a promising intervention which has been shown to alleviate pain in various clinical settings. There are currently no studies assessing VR for the treatment of FD. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness and safety of VR for the treatment of FD. Methods: This is a prospective, single-center, randomized, controlled, double-blinded study of adult patients with FD (Rome IV criteria). Enrolled patients were randomized 2:1 (experimental to control). Experimental patients were given a VR headset with software consisting of immersive audiovisual programs. Control patients were given an identical headset with 2-D nature videos. Patients were asked to use their headset at least daily and completed Patient Assessment of Gastrointestinal Disorders-Symptom Severity Index (PAGI-SYM) and Nepean Dyspepsia Index (NDI) questionnaires at their initial visit, after 1 week of use, and at the conclusion of the 2-week study. Paired sample t-tests were used to compare questionnaire scores. Results: Thirty-seven patients were enrolled in the study (27 experimental, 10 controls); demographic data are shown in Table (Table). Patients used the VR headset an average of 1.3 times/day for a mean of 23.2 minutes/day. Total PAGI-SYM scores significantly decreased for all patients [2.51 (baseline) to 0.62 (week 2); p=0.000]. Notably, patients in the experimental group had greater improvement in mean total PAGI-SYM scores [2.51 baseline) to 1.83 (week 2); mean difference -0.68; p=0.000], compared to the control group [2.50 (baseline) to 2.04 (week 2); mean difference -0.46; p=0.046]. Further, quality of life (QoL) significantly improved for all patients, as the total NDI QoL score increased from 40.97 (baseline) to 57.14 (week 2), p=0.000, though experimental patients saw greater improvement in QoL, compared to control patients (Figure). Seventeen patients (45.9%; 11 experimental, 6 controls) reported non-serious adverse effects (AE), with headache and dizziness being the most common; 1 experimental patient withdrew due to AEs (migraines). Conclusion: In the first randomized, controlled, double-blind study to assess VR for the treatment of FD, VR was shown to be safe and result in statistically significant overall improvement in symptoms and QoL in FD patients. We propose VR as a novel treatment for FD worthy of further investigation.Figure 1.: Total PAGI-SYM and NDI Quality of Life Scores Table 1. - Study Population Demographic Data Mean Age 45 years (± 14) Mean BMI 24.56 (± 6.79) SexFemaleMale 30 (81.1%)7 FD subtypeEPSPDSMixed EPS/PDS 12 (32.4%)20 (54.1%)5 (13.5%) Anxiety 17 (45.9%) Depression 9 (24.3%) PTSD 2 (5.4%) Fibromyalgia 4 (10.8%) Prior H. pylori infection 5 (13.5%) MedicationsPPIAntidepressantsGabapentinOpioidsNSAIDs 16 (43.2%)11 (29.7%)4 (10.8%)2 (5.4%)0 Alcohol Use 7 (18.9%) Marijuana Use 4 (10.8%)

An evolutionary game for governance of Internet audiovisual space

The market size of the Internet audiovisual industry is expanding continuously, which has profoundly affected the ecology of public opinion and the development of the digital culture industry. During the epidemic of Covid-19, it is witnessed that a surge of active online audiovisual users. However, several issues happening in the Internet audiovisual industry, such as spreading rumors, engaging in vulgar performances, which seriously damaged the network environment and social order. For this reason, a tripartite evolutionary game model of Internet audiovisual space governance was established to simulate and analyze the behavior strategies of administrative departments of radio and television, the Internet audiovisual program service agencies, and network audio and video content creators. Moreover, the game model is verified by empirical analysis. Results demonstrate that: only driven by the administrative department of broadcasting and television can the tripartite evolutionary game of Internet audiovisual space governance reach the expected evolutionary equilibrium point. Therefore, administrative departments of radio and television should give full play to the driving role in the process of Internet audiovisual space governance, strengthen the publicity of regulating the creation of Internet audiovisual content and the warning of vulgar creation through government regulation.

Cooperation among intergovernmental organizations in global cultural governance: Towards an actor-centered constructivist approach

ABSTRACT This article provides an empirical investigation of the cooperation among intergovernmental organisations (IOs) in global cultural governance. The existing scientific literature has not yet taken up the inter-organisational cooperation as a serious topic of research and the present contribution aims to fill this gap. Based on an actor-centred constructivism, the article seeks to address inter-organisational cooperation as an observable empirical phenomenon, to explore when and why the cooperation between IOs risks not lasting and to understand why the dynamics of inter-organisational cooperation in cultural affairs have a specific-time limit. The focus will be on two cases: the European Union-Mercosur audiovisual programme and the United Nations interagency group on creative industries. As such, the article is more concerned with analysing the political micro-foundations through which the cooperation among IOs takes place and with exploring the factors, which contribute to not establish sustainable cooperative arrangements.

Peningkatan pengetahuan guru dan orang tua siswa taman kanak-kanak tentang penggunaan suplemen vitamin yang tepat

COVID-19 global pandemic increases the usage of vitamin supplement products. However, easy access to purchase and consume the product increases the risk for its misuse. Lack of information and or misinformation available for vitamin supplement product usage leads to its abuse. Teachers' and parents' role in deciding the choice and use of vitamin supplement products for the pupil and children is crucial. Thus, a program was held to provide information about the correct usage of vitamin supplement products for teachers and parents. The program was performed for the teachers and pupil parents of TK Aisyiyah Ledug via online. The attractive audio-visual program materials were delivered via animation video, artistic leaflet, and presentation. The teachers and parents responded positively toward the program. All attendants actively participated, and 100% of attendants agreed that the program was interesting and increased their knowledge on the appropriate usage of vitamin supplement products.

Developing Multimedia Programmes for Out-of-School Girls: The Case of GIRLS Inspire in Tanzania

Learning resources such as audio, video and online content are developed as supplementary learning resources to print-based materials. This study focuses on the development of multimedia learning in adult education programmes for out-of-school girls and young women in Tanzania. It defines multimedia and adult education before showing the relationship between them. The study used a descriptive paradigm and adopted a qualitative case study design. It is informed by 25 in-depth interviews that were conducted with Institute of Adult Education (IAE) facilitators in April, 2018. Participants were purposely selected based on their multimedia experience. The findings revealed that most facilitators have little experience in multimedia resource development. However, 13 self-instructional audio and audio-visual programmes were produced to elaborate and enhance the effectiveness of instructions. It will be argued that IAE should include development and use of multimedia resources in its strategic rolling plan. Learning material development policy should also include multimedia resources and create awareness.

Zie ik het of zie ik het niet?

Abstract Do I see or not? A study on the impact of placement on program consumption in an on-demand environment The European Union (2018) stipulates that Member States can implement rules to ensure the findability and visibility of local content in video- on- demand environments. Indeed, several countries are concerned that their own audiovisual programs or journalistic products will be consumed less in such environments. It is argued that, in such environments, media users completely decide themselves about their consumption agency, but such statements are also contested. In this research we analyze the impact of placement on the consumption of audiovisual programs in the video-on-demand environments of the Flemish broadcasters VRT and DPG. From experimental research we conclude that there is indeed a significant impact of placement on consumption behavior and that, in other words, manipulations by intermediary gatekeepers can have potentially negative and positive effects on the consumption of local content. Government regulation would therefore be a useful tool to safeguard the importance of proximity of content.

New Quality Criteria for TV Channels and TV Narrative

Why we need a Children’s TV channel in Chile and Latin America? This question seems idle in its apparent obviousness. Nevertheless, several responses have been offered, depending first on how child is considered. So, who is the child? Most often, children appear to be the subject of adult actions; these actions are intended to reinforce children’s curricular learning and cognitive development in school, using television to ensure their cultural integration with the country, or to convey to them the idea that they are the recipients of public policy benefits. Others see the child audience as consumer of commercial products and thus a target for advertising in audio-visual programs. The second question to answer is what quality TV for children is? Quality TV is a very ambiguous expression. In this article, I discuss that quality TV for the specific children audience can be described with some new quality indicators afforded by child neuroscience and child epigenetic development; there is a reappreciation of the ludic and emotional genetic abilities of child brain to enjoy and comprehend ludic narrative fiction. But also, from a systemic view of the TV communication process; quality on children’s TV depends not only on the program content but on the broadcast and on the reception. A review of children's TV channels, and a few dozen of the new programs broadcast, allows us to find several new criteria regarding the quality of children's TV and audio-visual content.

Emergence of OTT Video and the Production Expenditures of Established Audiovisual Producers

ABSTRACT This paper examines the audiovisual programming and production expenditures of leading US media distributors, in the context of the market entry of Over-The-Top content distributors such as Netflix. Using data from the annual SEC filings of publicly traded audiovisual production companies over 2008–2017, it seeks to provide insights into how production expenditures figure as part of a competitive strategy in the context of new media growth. The results suggest that, despite media accounts to the contrary, established audiovisual producers have not materially altered their investment strategies in response to OTT video distribution.

Mitigating the Effects of a Pandemic: Facilitating Improved Nursing Home Care Delivery Through Technology

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has been particularly challenging for nursing home staff and residents. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services regulation waivers are burdening staff and affecting how care is delivered. Residents are experiencing social isolation, which can result in physical and behavioral health issues, particularly for persons with dementia. These challenges can be addressed in part through technology adaptations. Full integration of electronic health record systems can improve workflow and care quality. Telehealth can improve access to outside providers, provide remote monitoring, and improve social connectedness. Electronic and audiovisual programs can be used for end-of-life planning and information sharing between nursing home staff and families. Online learning systems and other online resources provide flexible options for staff education and training. Investing in and adapting technology can help mitigate workforce stress and improve the quality of nursing home care during and after the COVID-19 crisis.

The Effect of Audiovisual Education on Physical Activity Tendencies in Secondary School Children

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of audiovisual education method on the physical activity tendencies of 13-year-old secondary school students. A total of 66 healthy and voluntary male students who were aged 13 years in secondary school participated in this study. The participants were randomly divided into three groups: an educational group (EG; n: 22; height: 146.51±9.01 cm; weight: 37.73±12.20 kg), educational group with parents (EGP; n: 23; height: 146.97±7.19 cm; weight: 42.04±11.39 kg) and a control group (CG; n: 21; height: 141.53±8.27 cm; weight: 39.62±11.72 kg). EG and EGP completed their audiovisual education program in 2 days of the intervention week. Total energy expenditure (TEE), physical activity level (MET), STEP, physical activity duration, lying-down duration and sleep duration values were taken with SenseWear Armband in 6 consecutive days during 24 hours. These values of the study group were taken before (pre-test) and after (post-test) the intervention week. The variances between the groups were determined by one-way ANOVA, and multiple comparisons were used to determine possible differences. The level of significance was used at 0.05. After the audiovisual education programs, a significant increase were observed in the TEE, STEP and MET values of the groups. According to the CG, the TEE and MET values were significantly higher in favor of EGP, and in STEP was also significantly higher in favor of EG and EGP. The audiovisual education programs may contribute to increase physical activity levels by affecting the children’s intrinsic motivations. Also, the family played an effective role in physical activity trends, and therefore, increased the inner motivation of the child, and caused the negative behaviors to be positively changed.

Cognizance of road safety among young adults based on unmediated and mediated responses

Background: Road traffic accident (RTA) has been increasing to significantly higher percentages leading to disabilities and fatalities among the inhabitants, thereby causing social, emotional, and economical losses. In this study, an attempt was made to observe the prompt and the deferred effects of an “audiovisual program on road safety,” on the attitude and the knowledge of adolescents and young adults regarding the catastrophes on roadways and on how safety can be ensured. Materials and Methods: About 1760 students between 16 and 24 years were selected at random from various educational institutes in the city of Nagpur. With the aid of structured questionnaires, the participants were tested for their knowledge and attitude toward the traffic rules. At the end of this assessment, there was an interactive educational audiovisual PowerPoint presentation that highlighted the likely complications and long-term adverse effects of RTA. After the presentation phase, two questionnaire rounds were scheduled: one immediately following the presentation and another after 3 months to observe the change in their knowledge and attitude. Results: The resultant positive attitudinal change immediately after the intervention was significant. However, the positive attitudinal change dropped significantly after 3 months to a percentage almost comparable to the preexposure attitudinal level. Conclusion: It can be concluded that adolescents and young adults need to be repeatedly administered by indulging them in such enlightening pedagogical programs, in order to reduce the incidence of road accidents.
