Odissi on Screen: A Meditation on Regional Television

This article aims to interrogate the role of the television screen in creating, re-creating, disseminating, and deconstructing the dancing body. It presents a study of the contemporary landscape of odissi dance, a nationally recognized Indian traditional art form from the eastern Indian state of Odisha, through its on-screen representation. As an odissi soloist, I register, analyze, and interpret screenic data, mainly televised interviews of dancers, live telecasts of dance festivals in Odisha, and performances recorded for the camera in the studios. I focus on content primarily broadcast on the state-owned satellite channel broadcasting in Odia, the official language in Odisha. My position is of a Sahrdaya, an observer tutored in the codes and conventions of the art form and critically responsive to the structure of emotion in the presentation. I locate the dancing body across discursive, disseminative, and choreographic renditions. This subjective positioning, I argue, democratizes the expressive ethos of odissi embodiment. Commenting on the contemporary curation of the dancing body by the state network, this essay brings larger questions around the representation of gender, sexuality, caste, and regionalism on the television screen.

Improving bidirectional controlled remote preparation of arbitrary number of qudits in noisy environment

By elaborately selecting entangled channel, we put forward a universal scheme to achieve bidirectional remote preparation of qudit states with arbitrary numbers of particles under the control of the supervisor. Each sender needs to perform a positive-operator-value measurement and a projective measurement, while the supervisor requires to execute a projective measurement. Based on their measurement outcomes, the receivers can recover the desired states concurrently by carrying out single-qudit generalized Pauli operations which are given by general formulas. A point to highlight is that classical communication cost is greatly reduced at the supervisor’s broadcast channel by taking advantage of network coding. In addition, we analyze the influence of amplitude-damping and phase-damping noises, and utilize weak measurement and environment-assisted measurement to suppress noise.

Constrained Flooding Based on Time Series Prediction and Lightweight GBN in BLE Mesh.

Bluetooth Low Energy Mesh (BLE Mesh) enables Bluetooth flexibility and coverage by introducing Low-Power Nodes (LPNs) and enhanced networking protocol. It is also a commonly used communication method in sensor networks. In BLE Mesh, LPNs are periodically woken to exchange messages in a stop-and-wait way, where the tradeoff between energy and efficiency is a hard problem. Related works have reduced the energy consumption of LPNs mainly in the direction of changing the bearer layer, improving time synchronization and broadcast channel utilization. These algorithms improve communication efficiency; however, they cause energy loss, especially for the LPNs. In this paper, we propose a constrained flooding algorithm based on time series prediction and lightweight GBN (Go-Back-N). On the one hand, the wake-up cycle of the LPNs is determined by the time series prediction of the surrounding load. On the other, LPNs exchange messages through lightweight GBN, which improves the window and ACK mechanisms. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the Time series Prediction and LlightWeight GBN (TP-LW) algorithm in energy consumption and throughput. Compared with the original algorithm of BLE Mesh, when fewer packets are transmitted, the throughput is increased by 214.71%, and the energy consumption is reduced by 65.14%.

Transediting the terms used for describing the US dollar in Arabic and English news websites: a triangulational study of transediting strategies adopted in four channels

News translation, which is often known as news transediting, which is concerned with the translation of materials for print and/or online mass media, has long stimulated interest within the field of translation studies. The present paper explores the strategies of transediting the terms used for describing the US dollar in the websites of four news channels, namely: Alarabiya, Aljazeera, BBC and CNN between Arabic and English from the first of July 2022 to the thirty-first of December 2022. The paper conducts triangulational analysis to identify the type and frequency of the transediting strategies used in each channel, present how certain examples of each strategy are adopted and demonstrate the similarities and differences in the type and frequency of the transediting strategies employed between the channels. The paper argues that the choice of the transediting strategy is based on the type of audience, context, the channel’s policy and the type of information intended for delivery. This paper offers a baseline for exploring the strategies of transediting the terms used for describing the US dollar in both Arabic and English news websites of the aforementioned channels, which may have implications for exploring other transediting strategies used in other news websites of different channels broadcast in different languages.

Impoliteness Strategies In The Third Indonesia Presidential Debate 2024: Pragmatics Research

This research examines the impoliteness strategies employed during the third Indonesian Presidential Debate of 2024 from a pragmatic perspective. Using Jonathan Culpeper's theories of impoliteness (1996, 2011) as a theoretical framework, the research aims to identify and analyze the types of impoliteness strategies used by presidential candidates and determine their functions within the debate context. The research utilizes a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected from the Kompas TV YouTube channel's broadcast of the debate. The research focuses on identifying instances of bald-on-record impoliteness, positive impoliteness, negative impoliteness, sarcasm/mock politeness, and withhold politeness. Additionally, it examines whether these strategies serve affective, coercive, or entertaining functions. Preliminary analysis reveals the presence of four types of impoliteness strategies: bald-on-record, positive impoliteness, negative impoliteness, and sarcasm. Notably, bald-on-record impoliteness emerged as the most frequently used strategy, while no instances of withhold politeness were observed. The affective function was found to be the most prevalent, suggesting that candidates often employ impoliteness to express emotions and influence audience perceptions. This research contributes to the field of pragmatics by providing insights into language use in high-stakes political contexts. It also offers a deeper understanding of how impoliteness strategies can impact public perception and the democratic process in Indonesia. The findings may serve as a valuable resource for future studies on political discourse and communication strategies in presidential debates.

5G Enabled Dual Vision and Speech Enhancement Architecture for Multimodal Hearing-Aids

This paper presents the algorithmic framework for a multimodal hearing aid (HA) prototype designed on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), specifically the RFSOC4*2 AMD FPGA, and evaluates the transmitter performance through simulation studies. The proposed architecture integrates audio and video inputs, processes them using advanced algorithms, and employs the 5G New Radio (NR) communication protocol for uploading the processed signal to the cloud. The core transmission utilizes Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), an algorithm that effectively multiplexes the processed signals onto various orthogonal frequencies, enhancing bandwidth efficiency and reducing interference. The design is divided into different modules such as Sound reference signal (SRS), demodulation reference signal (DMRS), physical broadcast channel (PBCH), and physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). The modulation algorithm has been optimized for FPGA parallel processing capabilities, making it better suited for the hearing aid requirements for low latency. The optimized algorithm achieves a transmission time of only 4.789 ms and uses fewer hardware resources, enhancing performance in a cost-effective and energy-efficient manner.

These challenges include the need for cross-platform compatibility, performance under varying network conditions, and the ability to handle diverse content formats and streaming protocols. The complexities are compounded by the requirement for real-time performance metrics and user experience evaluations, which demand a sophisticated testing infrastructure.

Cooperative covert communication in multi-antenna broadcast channels

Cooperative covert communication in multi-antenna broadcast channels

Confidential multiple-input multiple-output optical camera communication aided by a two-dimensional pilot.

Optical camera communication (OCC) has attracted increased attention for its inherent security advantage. However, there still exists the risk of eavesdropping on the broadcasting channel of OCC. To achieve confidential communication, we propose the confidentiality-interference dual light-emitting diode (LED) communication (CIDLC) scheme at the transmitter (TX) and elimination of interference (EI) scheme at the receiver (RX). Meanwhile, interference signals refer to the bit shift of confidential signals. Further, we propose the two-dimensional pilot-aided channel estimation (2D-PACE) scheme to enhance the reliability of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) OCC. Experiment results validate the effectiveness of our schemes, which guarantee confidentiality while performing well at a 2 m non-line-of-sight (NLOS) distance. Finally, the communication-illumination integration OCC is constructed via the energy equalization coding (EEC) scheme.

The aim of the research is to summarize the Chinese experience in popularizing family values through media education to study the possibility of extrapolating the ideas, content and structure of Chinese television media in domestic conditions. The paper presents an analysis of Chinese television programs aimed at mainstreaming family values. The content of Chinese television programs on family topics is described and typologized according to the relayed value categories of parenthood, kinship, marriage, neighborhood and joint households presented in the studies. The scientific novelty of the paper lies in the fact that it is the first to specify the content of media education of family values based on Chinese television programs about the family. The sociocultural specifics and dominant family values of Chinese television programs are determined. As a result, it was revealed that the largest number of programs on central and regional television channels, as well as the main Internet broadcasting channels, are aimed at developing the values of parenthood, kinship and marriage among the viewing audience, which is due to the social order of society and the state policy of the PRC. Family-oriented television content provides relatively controlled socialization of members of society through familiarization with the values of family life in modern sociocultural conditions of China, determined by the increasing importance of large families, filial piety, responsible parenthood, marital relationships and personal development in the family.
