Measuring diversity in Hollywood through the large-scale computational analysis of film

Movies are a massively popular and influential form of media, but their computational study at scale has largely been off-limits to researchers in the United States due to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. In this work, we illustrate use of a new regulatory framework to enable computational research on film that permits circumvention of technological protection measures on digital video discs (DVDs). We use this exemption to legally digitize a collection of 2,307 films representing the top 50 movies by U.S. box office over the period 1980 to 2022, along with award nominees. We design a computational pipeline for measuring the representation of gender and race/ethnicity in film, drawing on computer vision models for recognizing actors and human perceptions of gender and race/ethnicity. Doing so allows us to learn substantive facts about representation and diversity in Hollywood over this period, confirming earlier studies that see an increase in diversity over the past decade, while allowing us to use computational methods to uncover a range of ad hoc analytical findings. Our work illustrates the affordances of the data-driven analysis of film at a large scale.

Comparative effectiveness of two interventions to increase colorectal cancer screening among females living in the rural Midwest.

To assess the comparative effectiveness of a tailored, interactive digital video disc (DVD) intervention versus DVD plus patient navigation (PN) intervention versus usual care (UC) on the uptake of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening among females living in Midwest rural areas. As part of a larger study, 663 females (ages 50-74) living in rural Indiana and Ohio and not up-to-date (UTD) with CRC screening at baseline were randomized to one of three study groups. Demographics , health status/history, and beliefs and attitudes about CRC screening were measured at baseline. CRC screening was assessed at baseline and 12 months from medical records and self-report. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine whether females in each group were UTD for screening and which test they completed. Adjusted for covariates, females in the DVD plus PN group were 3.5× more likely to complete CRC screening than those in the UC group (odds ratio [OR] 3.62; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.09, 6.47) and baseline intention to receive CRC screening (OR 3.45, CI: 2.21,5.42) at baseline. Adjusting for covariates, there was no difference by study arm whether females who became UTD for CRC screening chose to complete a colonoscopy or fecal occult blood test/fecal immunochemical test. Many females living in the rural Midwest are not UTD for CRC screening. A tailored intervention that included an educational DVD and PN improved knowledge, addressed screening barriers, provided information about screening test options, and provided support was more effective than UC and DVD-only to increase adherence to recommended CRC screening.

Curation of myeloma observational study MALIMAR using XNAT: solving the challenges posed by real-world data

ObjectivesMAchine Learning In MyelomA Response (MALIMAR) is an observational clinical study combining “real-world” and clinical trial data, both retrospective and prospective. Images were acquired on three MRI scanners over a 10-year window at two institutions, leading to a need for extensive curation.MethodsCuration involved image aggregation, pseudonymisation, allocation between project phases, data cleaning, upload to an XNAT repository visible from multiple sites, annotation, incorporation of machine learning research outputs and quality assurance using programmatic methods.ResultsA total of 796 whole-body MR imaging sessions from 462 subjects were curated. A major change in scan protocol part way through the retrospective window meant that approximately 30% of available imaging sessions had properties that differed significantly from the remainder of the data. Issues were found with a vendor-supplied clinical algorithm for “composing” whole-body images from multiple imaging stations. Historic weaknesses in a digital video disk (DVD) research archive (already addressed by the mid-2010s) were highlighted by incomplete datasets, some of which could not be completely recovered. The final dataset contained 736 imaging sessions for 432 subjects. Software was written to clean and harmonise data. Implications for the subsequent machine learning activity are considered.ConclusionsMALIMAR exemplifies the vital role that curation plays in machine learning studies that use real-world data. A research repository such as XNAT facilitates day-to-day management, ensures robustness and consistency and enhances the value of the final dataset. The types of process described here will be vital for future large-scale multi-institutional and multi-national imaging projects.Critical relevance statementThis article showcases innovative data curation methods using a state-of-the-art image repository platform; such tools will be vital for managing the large multi-institutional datasets required to train and validate generalisable ML algorithms and future foundation models in medical imaging.Key points• Heterogeneous data in the MALIMAR study required the development of novel curation strategies.• Correction of multiple problems affecting the real-world data was successful, but implications for machine learning are still being evaluated.• Modern image repositories have rich application programming interfaces enabling data enrichment and programmatic QA, making them much more than simple “image marts”.Graphical

High‐Efficiency Single‐Droplet Energy Harvester for Self‐Sustainable Environmental Intelligent Networks

AbstractOur community is still far away from achieving self‐sustainable ambient intelligence, since it calls for rational energy layouts to satisfy the ubiquitous power demands from diverse terminal products. Harnessing energy directly from the surroundings thus provides ideal solutions. The majority of existing environmental harvesters rely on sophisticated procedures and expensive or toxic materials; while others attempt to streamline the complexity at the cost of compromising performance. This entails transducers that exhibit superb outputs and also employ cost‐effective, even recycled materials and straightforward protocols to render ubiquitous deployments. Here, a high‐efficiency droplet energy nanogenerator (DENG) is devised to satisfy all the requirements. The DENG is fabricated by directly coating a composite layer on a recycled digital video disk surface. It achieves superb electricity generation from one droplet, with an output voltage of >190 V at an instantaneous power density of 65 W m−2, and an energy conversion efficiency of 3.60%. Diverse demonstrations confirm the applicability of the DENG in environmental networks, encompassing self‐sustainable “on plants” sensing systems, smart building windows, and remote environmental monitoring platforms. In light of these superiorities, it is believed that the DENG may open up new alternative routes for future energy strategies.

Receipt, uptake, and satisfaction with tailored DVD and patient navigation interventions to promote cancer screening among rural women.

Process evaluation is essential to understanding and interpreting the results of randomized trials testing the effects of behavioral interventions. A process evaluation was conducted as part of a comparative effectiveness trial testing a mailed, tailored interactive digital video disc (DVD) with and without telephone-based patient navigation (PN) to promote breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screening among rural women who were not up-to-date (UTD) for at least one screening test. Data on receipt, uptake, and satisfaction with the interventions were collected via telephone interviews from 542 participants who received the tailored interactive DVD (n = 266) or the DVD plus telephone-based PN (n = 276). All participants reported receiving the DVD and 93.0% viewed it. The most viewed sections of the DVD were about colorectal, followed by breast, then cervical cancer screening. Most participants agreed the DVD was easy to understand, helpful, provided trustworthy information, and gave information needed to make a decision about screening. Most women in the DVD+PN group, 98.2% (n = 268), reported talking with the navigator. The most frequently discussed cancer screenings were colorectal (86.8%) and breast (71.3%); 57.5% discussed cervical cancer screening. The average combined length of PN encounters was 22.2 minutes with 21.7 additional minutes spent on coordinating activities. Barriers were similar across screening tests with the common ones related to the provider/health care system, lack of knowledge, forgetfulness/too much bother, and personal issues. This evaluation provided information about the implementation and delivery of behavioral interventions as well as challenges encountered that may impact trial results.

Prolonged screen watching behavior is associated with high blood pressure among children and adolescents: a systematic review and dose–response meta-analysis

BackgroundNumerous cardio-metabolic risk factors influence screen-related behaviors in children and adolescents. Numerous studies with inconsistent results revealed a relationship between blood pressure and screen time in the children and adolescents. This systematic review and meta-analysis summarized the data regarding the relationship between screen time and hypertension (HTN) in children and adolescents.MethodsWe examined three electronic databases, including Scopus, PubMed, and Embase to find the recent research on the relationship between screen time and HTN up to 19 July 2022. Twenty papers were included in the final two-class and dose–response meta-analysis. We conducted subgrouping to identify the source of heterogeneity.ResultsThe highest category of screen time increased the odds of HTN by 8% [odds ratio (OR): 1.15; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.08, 1.23; P < 0.001; I2 = 83.20%] and 1.9 mmHg increase in systolic blood pressure [weighted mean difference (WMD): 1.89; 95% CI: 0.18–3.62; P = 0.030; I2 = 83.4]. However, there was no significant difference in diastolic blood pressure. Moreover, screen time in hypertensive children and adolescents was 0.79 h (47.4 min) higher than normotensive subjects (WMD: 0.79; 95% CI: 0.02, 1.56; P = 0.046; I2 = 92.8). A departure from linearity was observed between increased screen time [digital video discs, personal computers, and video games and HTN (Pnonlinearity = 0.049).ConclusionThis systematic meta-analysis review is the first to demonstrate a positive correlation between screen time and HTN in children and adolescents.

Developing novice analysts’ videofluoroscopic swallowing study skills in speech-language pathology: A randomised control trial comparing blended and online training approaches

Purpose This research investigates the relative effectiveness of independent online and blended learning approaches for novice analysts’ development of videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) analytical skills. The secondary aims were to explore the impact of training on decision-making and to describe learners’ perspectives of training outcomes. Method Undergraduate speech-language pathology students (n = 74) who had completed the dysphagia academic curriculum in an undergraduate speech-language pathology program were recruited for a randomised control trial. The ability to identify swallowing impairments in adults was compared pre- and post-training across three conditions: independent online (n = 23), peer-supported (n = 23), and expert-facilitated training (n = 28). The training comprised online VFSS training and practice with a commercially available digital video disc (DVD). Result The three training approaches were equal in improving novice analysts’ identification of impairments on VFSS. Participants’ analysis improved pre- to post-training (p = <.001), with no statistical difference amongst training conditions (p = .280). However, the expert facilitation condition resulted in better decision-making skill for novice analysts, as well as higher levels of confidence and greater engagement in the learning. Conclusion Well-designed independent online methods are appropriate to prepare novice analysts for VFSS analytical training. Expert facilitation and peer-supported environments may have benefits for more advanced skill development and engagement, and should be investigated in future studies.

Feasibility of Adding Antireflective Coating Foil Made from Nanoscale‐Patterned Optical Disk Templates on Industrial Silicon Photovoltaics

Antireflective coating helps to reduce reflectance losses, thereby improving photovoltaic (PV) efficiency. Improving PV efficiency while maintaining low innovation cost has been a challenging task for the PV industry, especially in the case of monocrystalline silicon. Herein, the feasibility of integrating polydimethylsiloxane foil onto the protecting glass of an n‐type tunnel oxide–passivated contact silicon cell is studied. The foil is made using a polymer molding technique with digital video disk templates. On average, the foil provides 5.2% total reflectance and 93.5% total transmission. Under 1 sun illumination, the cell's power‐conversion efficiency increases by 12% (among the highest improvement), from 17.3% to 19.3%, in the presence of foil. A combined set of optical spectroscopy and simulation data shows that this improvement is due not only to the index‐matched medium, but also to forward scattering that increases broadband light transmission to the silicon cell through the foil which is different to the prevalent light‐trapping mechanism. The foil is also evaluated under different illumination conditions (indoors and outdoors), which show that the cell's power output nearly doubles at dimmer illumination levels and is stable under a fluctuating light source. While effective, the feasibility of antireflective foil should be reexamined further.

Comparative Effectiveness of 2 Interventions to Increase Breast, Cervical, and Colorectal Cancer Screening Among Women in the Rural US

Women living in rural areas have lower rates of breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening compared with women living in urban settings. To assess the comparative effectiveness of (1) a mailed, tailored digital video disc (DVD) intervention; (2) a DVD intervention plus telephonic patient navigation (DVD/PN); and (3) usual care with simultaneously increased adherence to any breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening that was not up to date at baseline and to assess cost-effectiveness. This randomized clinical trial recruited and followed up women from rural Indiana and Ohio (community based) who were not up to date on any or all recommended cancer screenings. Participants were randomly assigned between November 28, 2016, and July 1, 2019, to 1 of 3 study groups (DVD, DVD/PN, or usual care). Statistical analyses were completed between August and December 2021 and between March and September 2022. The DVD interactively assessed and provided messages for health beliefs, including risk of developing the targeted cancers and barriers, benefits, and self-efficacy for obtaining the needed screenings. Patient navigators counseled women on barriers to obtaining screenings. The intervention simultaneously supported obtaining screening for all or any tests outside of guidelines at baseline. Receipt of any or all needed cancer screenings from baseline through 12 months, including breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer, and cost-effectiveness of the intervention. Binary logistic regression was used to compare the randomized groups on being up to date for all and any screenings at 12 months. The sample included 963 women aged 50 to 74 years (mean [SD] age, 58.6 [6.3] years). The DVD group had nearly twice the odds of those in the usual care group of obtaining all needed screenings (odds ratio [OR], 1.84; 95% CI, 1.02-3.43; P = .048), and the odds were nearly 6 times greater for DVD/PN vs usual care (OR, 5.69; 95% CI, 3.24-10.5; P < .001). The DVD/PN intervention (but not DVD alone) was significantly more effective than usual care (OR, 4.01; 95% CI, 2.60-6.28; P < .001) for promoting at least 1 (ie, any) of the needed screenings at 12 months. Cost-effectiveness per woman who was up to date was $14 462 in the DVD group and $10 638 in the DVD/PN group. In this randomized clinical trial of rural women who were not up to date with at least 1 of the recommended cancer screenings (breast, cervical, or colorectal), an intervention designed to simultaneously increase adherence to any or all of the 3 cancer screening tests was more effective than usual care, available at relatively modest costs, and able to be remotely delivered, demonstrating great potential for implementing an evidence-based intervention in remote areas of the midwestern US.

The production of novel sustainable lightweight mortar from the electronic plastic waste

Electronic plastic waste (EPW) like Compact Discs, also known as CDs or Digital Video Disc DVDs, is considered a massive challenge because of the low biodegradability of the material and exists in large quantities. Thus, using friendly alternative disposal methods for waste is becoming a significant research issue. This paper aims to explore producing lightweight mortar with fine EPW as fine aggregate to produce sustainable lightweight mortar (SLWM). To address the aim, the effect of a high percentage (50 %, 75 %) of electronic plastic waste EPW as a replacement material with sand (by weight of the sand) is compared with standard mortar (NM). Physical and mechanical characteristics such aswater absorption, ultrasonic pulse velocity, bulk density, and compressive strength were measured on all specimens at 7, 28, and 90 days. The results show that there is a possibility of producing SLWM from EPW, and the 50 % replacement of sand by weight gives better results than 75 % and has a mechanical strength adequate for lightweight materials.

Graphene-based integrated plasmonic sensor with application in biomolecule detection

Much effort is being made to improve the performance of the techniques currently used to detect biomolecules. One of the new fields that has attracted the attention of researchers is the use of graphene-based surface plasmon resonance (SPR), a real-time, label-free technique. In this field, there is still a need to introduce low-cost sensors that offer higher sensitivity. In this paper, to reduce the cost to fabricate the grating for phase matching, we use a low-cost 1D grating extracted from a digital video disc (DVD) without any lithography process. In addition, to improve the performance of the graphene-based SPR sensors after describing the plasmonic response, we use the surface plasmon enhanced by ellipsometry as a strong and sensitive characterization method. Using Ψ can help enhance the quality factor of the 2D materials-based SPR biosensor and the study of the delta parameter leads to a significant improvement in the sensitivity and minimum detectable concentration. The response of the delta parameter indicates that a slight change in miRNA-21 concentration, about 30 fM, leads to a sensitivity of 44.4 deg/100 fM, which is a significant change in the delta parameter. The results show that if appropriate complementary bioreceptors for the target’s biomolecules are used, the proposed sensor is attractive for use in biodetection and to measure a very small concentration of biomolecules.

Undergraduates’ Perception Towards Incorporating Video Repository with Institutional Repository at the Library, Trincomalee Campus, Eastern University, Sri Lanka: A need Analysis

Undergraduates of the Department of Languages and Communication Studies of the Faculty of Communication and Business Studies, Trincomalee Campus have to produce a digital story for the course ‘basic video production’. As the students’ productions are preserved only in the form of digital video discs, a lack of efficiency in preservation and retrieval was identified. Hence, the aim is to explore the preferences and perceptions of the undergraduates regarding initiating a video repository on the Institutional Repository. Therefore, the preferences and perceptions of the undergraduates on video repositories, the present status of retrieval and referencing of the videos produced by the undergraduates, and their willingness toward archiving the digital story produced by them on the Institutional Repository were analysed. A descriptive survey was carried out for data collection by self-administrated semi-structured questionnaires using Google forms. Data were analyzed using MS office Excel. According to the preferences and perceptions on video repositories, more than 72% prefer to refer to videos produced by previous batches of the undergraduates. According to the present status of the video referencing and retrieval only about 22% of them are aware of video repositories and only 1.6% have access to repositories related to their field. Further, their dissatisfaction regarding the current retrieval system, lack of access to other repositories and lack of availability of their preservation systems were also identified. Further, their positive attitude towards preserving their creation in the repositories was identified. However, utilizing cloud storage and requesting approval from creators to download the creation were recommended along with expanding this study with all other students and staff of the Trincomalee Campus.

Creation of a Multi-vendor Image-Sharing Solution.

Transferring medical imaging studies from one institution to another is a common occurrence in today's medical practice. For the past two decades, radiology departments have relied on physical media (compact discs and digital video disks) and human couriers to accomplish image transfer. This mode of transfer is slow, prone to failure, and reliant on outdated technology. To address these shortcomings, multiple image-sharing vendors have created electronic, cloud-based solutions. While these solutions solve multiple problems, a new problem has been introduced: it is difficult to send or receive images across image-sharing platforms. In this work, we describe how we have developed a solution to share images across multiple vendor platforms.

Flexible humidity sensor based on light-scribed graphene oxide

The light scribe (LS) technique has been applied to reduce graphene oxide (LSGO) over a flexible substrate to be used as a humidity sensor. Graphene oxide (GO) suspension was drop casted over Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate and then reduced inside a conventional light scribe digital video disc (DVD). Interdigitated electrode was precisely fabricated with dimensions of the finger length of 450 μm and width of 20 μm. The prepared material was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Raman spectroscopy. The results confirm the reduction process of GO using the LS technique. Moreover, the humidity sensing properties of the LSGO was evaluated. Results showed that the present light-scribed humidity sensor has many advantages including rapid response, highly precise due to light scribe technique, and more importantly sensors can be fabricated directly on flexible substrates which are highly favorable for future wearable smart electronics.

Development of a Computer-Tailored Intervention/Decision Aid To Increase Colorectal Cancer Screening in Health Systems.

BackgroundNon-compliance with scheduled colonoscopy is common among patients, especially in underserved populations. High no-show and late cancelation rates result in wasted resources, increased costs, and missed opportunities for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. Among the barriers to colonoscopy is a lack of knowledge about the benefits, fears, and limited time for patient counseling.MethodologyWe produced a digital video disc and a website program to enhance awareness about CRC screening and address patient barriers in a population with low screening adherence.ResultsPatients can be educated via an interactive computer-tailored intervention with both DVD and web versions. It details the benefits and need for CRC screening, different methods of screening, and addresses patient-related barriers.ConclusionsPatient education is crucial to increase CRC screening among eligible individuals. Because online engagement is affected by attention, interest, and affect, content should be concise but comprehensive.

Analisis Survei Pengelolaan Arsip Unit di Universitas Sanata Dharma Yogyakarta

Archives are created in every institution large and small. College is one of the institutions that produces many archives of academic and administrative works. The archives created in universities need to be managed and stored so that they can be traced and utilized by the institution concerned and by other parties who need it. In line with this, Sanata Dharma University (USD) as the bearer of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education seeks to manage archives in all units at the university level. The management of the USD institutional archives is carried out by carrying out the mandate of the 2018-2022 USD RENSTRA, where the initial target for achievement is the 1993-2020 USD archives. Archival managers are expected to be able to collect and archive all USD institutional documents from 1955 s.d. 2020. Records management at the USD level is left to the USD Library.USD Library plans to carry out acquisitions/archive collection of units. This step was preceded by an online survey of records management in units, so that USD Libraries had an initial picture of archive management across all units in USD. This online survey was conducted using qualitative methods. The population in the survey is education staff, both permanent and non-permanent in USD, with a total of 376 people. The sample used in the survey is 76 people, the sample selection using convenience sampling technique.The survey results showed that there were 52 people who filled out the survey. The most types/subjects of archives owned by units in USD are curriculum archives (25 units), lectures (24 units) and student affairs (20 units). The largest media/archive form is print/paper (50 units), but most of the units have been digitized (43 units). Other archival media that are also owned by the unit are photos, souvenirs, compact disks, videos, digital video disks, blueprints, maps and technical drawings. The processing of unit archives in USD varies, both those that have been digitized (33 units), have been inventoried/recorded (25 units), have been numbered/coded (6 units), have been destroyed (2 units) to archives that have not been managed properly ( not yet digitized, not yet inventoried, not yet coded). There are archives that have been arranged in a filing cabinet/rack/file/order box (40 units), archives are organized by year/subject/alphabatic number (26 units). The majority of HR Archive Managers in all units do not have HR that specifically manages archives (48 units). The majority of archive borrowing is no archive loan.

Emotional responses to different flavoured popcorns on watching different types of movies

The emotional responses to five flavoured popcorns (butter, cheese, caramel, barbecue and Thai spicy) compared to ‘not eat anything’ on watching each genre of five digital video disk (DVD) movies (action, comedy, fantasy, romance and horror movies) were measured by 100 voluntary audiences. They were recruited to participate in the sensory laboratory set as a theatre. After five minutes of watching each movie, they had to taste each of the flavoured popcorns for 25 g serving with 250 mL of drinking water than their 39 emotional and 2 sensory responses were recorded. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and emotional ratio profiling of all flavoured popcorns on watching each movie were analysed. The results revealed that the mean overall liking score for each flavoured popcorn was not different, but the mean emotional scores that responded to each flavoured popcorn on watching each movie were different significantly (p &lt; 0.01). During watching the action movie, butter and cheese flavoured popcorns seemed to significantly evoke most emotions on ‘daring’ and ‘pleasant’ (p &lt; 0.01). While watching the horror movie, caramel flavoured popcorn undoubtedly evoked the most emotional responses among other flavoured popcorns. These emotional responses to each of flavoured popcorns on each of variety DVD movies might be used for movie theatre strategic promotion and advertisement to add value and distinction for the flavoured popcorn products in all cases.
