Base Station Energy Saving based on Imitation Learning in 5G Network

Abstract With the rapid development of communication technology, the large-scale deployment of base stations (BSs) has led to an increase in power consumption. To reduce power consumption, energy saving technologies for BSs have emerged, which are in line with the concept of green communications and can save operators’ costs. In this paper, our goal is to minimize the total power consumption of the base station by dynamically controlling the switching status of the base station. This article first proposes a dynamic base station switching framework based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL), which optimizes the power consumption of switching BSs. Then, considering the dynamic nature of the environment, this article proposes a dynamic BS switching algorithm that introduces the idea of imitation learning (IL) to update the policy by learning the expert’s action. The simulation results show that this scheme can effectively reduce power consumption.

The Application Research of Reading-to-Write Mode Based on Thematic Context To English Writing Teaching in High Schools

The application research of reading-to-write mode based on thematic context to English writing teaching in high schools is a topic of wide concern in the field of education in recent years. This teaching method aims to guide students to form their own opinions in the process of understanding and analyzing these materials by selecting reading materials related to the course topic and encourage students to express these views through writing. This teaching mode can not only help to improve students reading comprehension ability, but also effectively promote students writing ability The thematic context refers to the linguistic environment and background that is constructed around a central theme or concept in a specific communication or text. It includes vocabulary, phrases, sentences, and the overall meaning and emotions conveyed by the context. Thematic context is not limited to literal content but also includes implicit, associative, and cultural connections that collectively provide a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the theme. In different contexts, the same theme may have different expressions and interpretations, so understanding thematic context is crucial for accurately conveying and receiving information.

Rhetoric Of The Question, The Dialogue Of Poetic Vision, A Reading Of Samples From The Collection Of "Sukrat Al - Qamar " By Amal Al-Qasim

The poetic question is a subject that is expanding in critical studies to the extent, which is formed a private critical space. The poetic question was able to excrete during the reading a remarkable aesthetic and rhetorical aesthetic. It doubled the interest of critics and creators together and created dialogues between text and its recipients. Here in this research, the Dialogic means is not in the concept of the Bakhtni that depends on the intersexuality, but in its communicative concept for searching to the effectiveness of the poet in creating interactive dialogue between him and the implicit reader within the text and his default reader out of the text. This question dialogic creates a poetics distinctive and takes the technical reasons for dialogue from the technical side and even qualitative, and the question with elegance’s poetic. With this vision’s reading we have tried to analyze two patterns from poems of poet Amal AL-Qasim called (Cuffed eloquence) and (Sura water) which are standing on the poetic question to search inside both of the patterns on Aesthetic toward poetic and his ability to deepen the significance of the text and find out the poetic’s idealism and poetics.

Collaborative inquiry in action: a case study of lesson study for intercultural education

The evolving nature of intercultural education necessitates a shift from static to reflective pedagogies among teachers. This case study investigates the efficacy of a collaborative lesson study (LS) approach in enhancing Chinese university instructors' proficiency in participatory, non-essentialist intercultural teaching. Six English as a Foreign Language instructors at a Chinese university engaged in three iterative LS cycles over one month, integrating new intercultural communication materials into their classes. Data were collected through lesson documents, observations, discussions, and interviews. The immersive LS process significantly expanded instructors' understanding of key intercultural communication concepts, encouraged the adoption of more student-centered methodologies, and prompted critical reflection on prior cultural assumptions. The collaborative engagement facilitated a deeper theoretical grasp and practical application of non-essentialist principles. Challenges included time constraints due to teaching workloads, discomfort in peer feedback exchange, and a broader lack of coordinated intercultural teacher training. Despite these challenges, this study underscores the potential of LS as a robust model for advancing intercultural teaching capacity through collaborative inquiry. It hints at the promise of LS in bridging the theory–practice divide in intercultural education, paving the way for more nuanced, non-essentialist instruction.

Digital systems and networks (internet), which have increasingly developed recently, have triggered various technological innovations. One of the innovations that has received great attention from citizens of the world - indications are that there are various technological discoveries through applications on cellphones - is the presence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. In formats in the media realm - whether films, videos, photos, music or text - AI technology has been presented and used with its sophistication. Although the use of AI actually becomes a simulacrum in text messages - borrowing the concept of simulacrum from Jean Baudrillard - in a number of cinema films and social media. Specifically on social media, AI technology is being used by a number of political parties and success teams or spin doctors from each pair of presidential and vicepresidential candidates in 2024 in delivering their political campaigns. The content of political campaign messages published on social media regarding the election of presidential and vicepresidential candidates (presidential and vice presidential candidates) - including Facebook, YouTube, effective in the context of delivering communication messages. The range of communication or political campaign messages that are appropriate and effective - via cell phones or mobile phones and laptops - is able to reach and shape personal perceptions through cognitive, affective and conative structures or behavior towards potential voters. Although, this research only examines political campaigns using the concept of simulacrum theory and political communication (campaigns) on short videos tens of seconds long that utilize AI technology and are distributed on social media regarding the election of presidential and vice presidential candidates, especially TikTok - considering this social media has penetration and is the highest usage choice – regarding the election of presidential and vice presidential candidates for the period 2024 – 2029.

ENHANCING EMPLOYABILITY THROUGH INDUSTRIAL TRAINING: INSIGHTS FROM EVENT OPERATION CERTIFICATE GRADUATES AND INDUSTRIAL TRAINING EMPLOYERS

To fulfil the required credit hours for graduation, all final semester students in the Event Operation Certificate (EOC) program offered by Pasir Salak Community College are required to undergo industrial training. Aside from improving students' existing skills, industrial training stands as the main platform to develop their talents, ultimately helping them towards secured employment in the events industry. However, rapid technological changes and development in the events industry have resulted in a mismatch between knowledge and skills. The theoretical knowledge and skills acquired at the educational institutions often demonstrate a disparity with the practical applications within industries. Hence, the purpose of this study was to investigate the role of industrial training in enhancing the employability of EOC graduates post-graduation. The study employed a qualitative approach via a case study design. Purposive sampling was used to recruit the respondents based on their knowledge and experience to answer the research questions. The sample consisted of 11 EOC graduates from Pasir Salak Community College and three employers with experience in training EOC students during the industrial training period. The data was collected through in-depth interviews using semi-structured questions. All interview sessions were audiorecorded and transcribed verbatim for thematic analysis by coding and identifying recurring themes. Thefindings revealed that the majority of EOC graduates who underwent industrial training were given multiple tasks by employers in preparing themselves for future employability in the events sector. The graduates also acquired various new skills from the industrial training, including digital skills. However, most EOC graduates faced challenges throughout their industrial training, encompassing time limitations, physical exhaustion, communication obstacles, and unexpected mental strain. Meanwhile, employers prioritize negotiation within communication, technical training, and event concepts during industrial training and value digital skills as a bonus for graduates entering the workforce. Overall, they see industrial training as a platform for sparking interest, fostering positivity, and encouraging graduates to venture into the events business.

An empirical examination of user adoption of internet of things in the brazilian context

In the knowledge economy Internet of Things (IoT) has been calling researchers’ attention and interest. The IoT is expanding the concept of communication as it exceeds the Internet paradigm and connects many objects in a network. All this transformation causes an economic phenomenon called network externality in which the value of goods is linked to the installed base of the products. Additionally, the growth of mobile technologies and the use of the Internet has made information privacy an urgent issue for emerging technologies, like the ones related to IoT services. For this reason, the main goal of this study is to understand the influence of network externalities and information privacy concerns on users' attitude and continued intention to use IoT services. The model was empirically evaluated by applying a survey and Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Results indicate that the issues related to the popularity of IoT use are not associated with the ease of use, but information privacy is a concern that is relevant to users.

Living in the Nexus of Disability and Caregiving: An African American Parental Caregiver's Critical Observations as a Folklorist

Abstract In this essay, I advance and elaborate upon three points and their relevance to folklore studies based on my experiences and fieldwork as a parent of a child with disabilities. First, I note the absence of narratives of many families of children with disabilities and foreground a concept of possible shared identity and embodied communication between parents and non- or partially verbal children. Second, I highlight autoethnographic and ethnographic stories that are created at the nexus of disability and caregiving that offer insight into narratives of caregivers of children with disabilities. Caregivers’ stories are mostly missing in folklore studies. These narratives can stand by themselves or be intertwined with the narratives of the children whom caregivers care for. Finally, I suggest ways that a theoretical frame of intersectionality can illuminate and provide nuance for better understanding the systemic complexities of the narratives of children's and their caregivers’ experiences of disability.

THE PLAN OF INTEGRATED MARKETING COMMUNICATION WITH EMPHASIS ON DESIGNING A STRATEGY FOR THE BRAND X

Purpose: The article discusses the plan of integrated marketing communication with an emphasis on designing a strategy for the brand X. Marketing communication is one of the key elements of strategic marketing, as it has a significant impact on the recognition and success of a company or brand. It should be emphasized that in the era of information technology, information overload, and increasing consumer demands, the concept of marketing communication is much more complex than simply informing target customers about the existence of a product or service. Methodology: The quantitative research was carried out using a survey questionnaire technique. For this purpose, we used a web-based 1KA survey sent via email addresses. Results: The survey determined (1) the level of general interest in alarm systems for the protection of residential, holiday, and commercial properties, (2) the level of awareness of brand X. We further identified (3) the target audience of the brand X, (4) the key message for advertising needs and (5) communication channels through which to address the target audience. Practical implications: The obtained results were our key guidelines in designing a marketing communication strategy for the brand X, aimed at improving the effectiveness of current marketing campaigns and increasing the sales of products under the selected brand.

Cooperative Communication Based Protocols for Underwater Wireless Sensors Networks: A Review.

Underwater wireless sensor networks are gaining popularity since supporting a broad range of applications, both military and civilian. Wireless acoustics is the most widespread technology adopted in underwater networks, the realization of which must face several challenges induced by channel propagation like signal attenuation, multipath and latency. In order to address such issues, the attention of researchers has recently focused on the concept of cooperative communication and networking, borrowed from terrestrial systems and to be conveniently recast in the underwater scenario. In this paper, we present a comprehensive literature review about cooperative underwater wireless sensor networks, investigating how nodes cooperation can be exploited at the different levels of the network protocol stack. Specifically, we review the diversity techniques employable at the physical layer, error and medium access control link layer protocols, and routing strategies defined at the network layer. We also provide numerical results and performance comparisons among the most widespread approaches. Finally, we present the current and future trends in cooperative underwater networks, considering the use of machine learning algorithms to efficiently manage the different aspects of nodes cooperation.

Environmental and scientific communications: correlation of concepts

A person perceives the surrounding world through communicative and cognitive processes, where knowledge, emotions, and social norms influence the perception of information about environmental problems. In our opinion, a skillful combination of scientific and environmental communication allows not only to improve the quality of communication, but also to change attitudes towards the environment. We tested this hypothesis by correlating the concepts of environmental and scientific communication presented in Russian and foreign scientific literature, comparing their main characteristics, and identifying the features of interaction. Based on the results of the study, the author comes to the conclusion about the importance of partnership between scientific and environmental communication, which has a positive effect on the effectiveness of management and the preservation of environmental sustainability, and the behavioral intentions of citizens. The scientific component strengthens environmental communication due to the competence of knowledge and balanced decisions, which is reflected in the legitimization of the changes being carried out. Finally, we also propose different action strategies and communication models, the choice of which depends on the goals of the subjects and the current situation.

Teachers’ Facebook rebellion groups: sites for professional collegial deliberation?

ABSTRACT This study examines conversations in a Swedish teachers’ School Rebellion (SR) group on Facebook, a group that attracts members who wish to engage in activism for a different and better Swedish school system and improved conditions for teachers. The phenomenon of teachers’ Rebellion Facebook groups is relatively new. It has emerged in several countries over the past decade and clearly differs from traditional online teacher collaboration and professional development groups. Placing the Swedish SR initiative in the context of discussions on changing teacher professionalism over the last decade, the aim of this study is to examine what content is given presence in SR posts and how it is discussed by members, and to determine the extent to which the communication between the participating teachers has the potential to strengthen collective professionalism. To this end, curriculum theory and the concept of deliberative communication are combined to address questions of content and various relations between actors and levels, such as power and responsibility issues. The analysis shows that many topics related to teaching and education appear in the conversations, deliberative approaches vary from what is termed pre-deliberative to deliberative and even counter-deliberative. Although all participants have a voice, the administrators’ role is shown to be of special interest. Based on these findings, the administrators’ responsibility to maintain professional collegial deliberation is discussed as a complex mission of deliberation over political, pedagogical, and practical issues.

Embodied Communication, Sensed Atmospheres, Joint Situations: Human–Horse Encounters from a Neophenomenological Perspective

This article shows that the German philosopher Hermann Schmitz’s new phenomenology can make a valuable contribution to human–animal studies. The three concepts suitable for this purpose are, first, Schmitz’s concept of embodied communication, which can be applied to trans-species encounters; second, his understanding of atmospheres, which are always co-communicated in trans-species encounters; and, third, his conception of situation, which can help with analyzing the relationship of society to animals. My contribution applies these three basic elements of new phenomenology—embodied communication, atmosphere, and situation—to the analysis of the encounters between humans and horses. This paper demonstrates that embodied communication in particular is not only a worthwhile object of research but can also serve as a mode of producing scientific insight.

Understanding Free Speech as a Two-Way Right

This paper argues that free speech is a ‘two-way right’. The right to marriage is a typical two-way right: it is not a guarantee that every single person can get married. Instead, it only ensures that if two consenting adults wish to marry each other, they can do so freely. Similarly, the right to free speech does not protect a speaker’s unilateral right to speak, nor an audience’s unilateral right to hear. Free speech protects the parties’ right to communicate with each other. Many agree that communication is a collaborative activity. Yet, this collaborative essence is sometimes overlooked. Particularly, when analyzing speech rights, there is a tendency to zoom in on either the speaker interests or the audience interests, focusing on the distinctions between the two. The two-way approach reorients our understanding of free speech, to one that is more integrally shaped by a concept of communication as a joint collaborative endeavor. 

Sound of the Police—Virtual Reality Training for Police Communication for High-Stress Operations

Police communication is a field with unique challenges and specific requirements. Police officers depend on effective communication, particularly in high-stress operations, but current training methods are not focused on communication and provide only limited evaluation methods. This work explores the potential of virtual reality (VR) for enhancing police communication training. The rise of VR training, especially in specific application areas like policing, provides benefits. We conducted a field study during police training to assess VR approaches for training communication. The results show that VR is suitable for communication training if factors such as realism, reflection and repetition are given in the VR system. Trainer feedback shows that assistive systems for evaluation and visualization of communication are highly needed. We present ideas and approaches for evaluation in communication training and concepts for visualization and exploration of the data. This research contributes to improving VR police training and has implications for communication training in VR in challenging contexts.
