Ethics of AI Technologies in “Sensitive” Content Creation and Evaluation. School Shooting Cases

This article looks into the ethical issues raised by AI-generated content, focusing on ‘sensitive’ topics like school shootings. As AI technologies progress, there is a greater risk that such information can accidentally reinforce negative narratives, glorify acts of violence, or cause psychological damage to victims and their communities. The study tackles these concerns by estimating the existing ethical frameworks and finding their limitations in dealing with these complicated situations. A main goal of the research is to create a refined set of ethical principles specifically geared to address the risks connected with AI-generated information about school shootings. The paper contains actual experiments using AI models such as ChatGPT, Claude, GigaChat, and YandexGPT to generate and analyze information about school shootings. These experiments highlight important issues in ensuring that AI-generated texts do not reinforce negative themes or cause suffering. For example, while some models, such as GigaChat, declined to generate content on sensitive themes, others, such as ChatGPT, created elaborate texts that risked retraumatizing readers or praising offenders. The findings show that, while current frameworks take into consideration basic concepts such as transparency, accountability, and fairness, they frequently lack precise direction for dealing with difficult issues. To close this gap, the suggested ethical framework incorporates particular content development criteria, stakeholder participation, responsible dissemination techniques, and ongoing research. This paradigm prioritizes the protection of vulnerable people and the prevention of psychological injury.

Disseminating our knowledge in an inclusive society: An inaugural editorial statement

Inclusive research is essential at all stages of research, including data collection and dissemination. This essay investigates how current literature and the practical application of inclusive practices in the academic setting illuminate this critical but often overlooked aspect of research. It offers the South African policy of Working Paper 6 (WP6) to clarify how the principle and policy of education for all learners can be implemented in inclusive societies and development, which confront various obstacles due to psychosocial issues. It discourses the purpose of the South African Policy of WP6 and its discourses in multiple contexts by adopting innovative and more inclusive techniques for dissemination, intellectual and developmental disability research, and analysis that can reach far beyond the academic walls. It finally discusses barriers to inclusive dissemination and methods to overcome them. Even though further research needs to be explored in this regard, this article would be beneficial to scholars to champion and implement inclusivity to make research more meaningful and accessible to all who are affected by any form of exclusion and discrimination in our society.

Interventions promoting resilience through climate smart agricultural practices for women farmers: A systematic review.

Climate change poses a significant threat to agricultural production worldwide, with developing countries being particularly vulnerable to its negative impacts. Agriculture, which is a crucial factor in ensuring food security and livelihoods, is particularly vulnerable to changes in climate patterns, such as increased temperatures, drought, and extreme weather events. One approach to addressing these challenges is by promoting the adoption of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices among farmers. CSA combines traditional agricultural practices with innovative techniques and technologies to adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change. infrastructure. By adopting CSA practices, farmers can enhance their resilience to climate variability and improve their productivity. This review examines the effectiveness of interventions promoting CSA to enhance farmers' knowledge of the benefits of CSA approaches, subsequent adoption of CSA, and disadoption of harmful agricultural practices in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We searched 39 academic and online databases, websites, and repositories and screened over 19,000 experimental and quasi-experimental publications to identify studies promoting CSA practices to women farmers. We conducted a citation tracking process on included studies and contacted experts to ensure a thorough search. The review focused on studies that included interventions promoting climate-smart agricultural approaches. Using EPPI Reviewer 4, two review authors independently screened the impact evaluation using a standardized screening tool. Information about participant characteristics, intervention characteristics, control conditions, research design, sample size, bias risk, outcomes, and results were gathered. Data collection and quantitative analysis were conducted using standard Campbell Collaboration methods. Eight impact evaluations were found (two randomized controlled trials) evaluating the effects of CSA practices on farmer's knowledge gains of the benefits of CSA practices and subsequent adoption. Knowledge dissemination approaches such as Farmer Field Schools and weather and climate information services were found to positively impact farmers' knowledge and adoption of specific CSA practices. However, the evidence supporting this claim is uncertain as a high risk of bias was assessed for five of the eight included studies. However, we found no effects on the disadoption of harmful practices such as pesticide overuse. The evidence base for studies promoting climate-smart agricultural approaches (CSA) to farmers in LMICs is small, and there is a lack of studies reporting sex-disaggregated data and studies explicitly targeting women farmers. The review suggests that knowledge dissemination techniques are significantly effective in improving CSA knowledge and adoption, including integrated pest management techniques and their benefits, adoption of climate-resilient rice seed varieties (STRVs), and use of botanical pesticides by farmers. More and better confidence studies are needed to inform policy and programming, including those that look at a wider range of interventions, including changing norms, values, and institutional arrangements.

Several Categories of Energy Harvested Routing Protocols, Challenges, and Characteristics in WSN: A Review

The routing protocol is a technique for determining the most efficient channel for data transmission. The route selection procedure, which relies on the kind of network, channel conditions, and measurement systems, presents several challenges. Routing is essential in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) for environmental monitoring, traffic monitoring, and other applications. WSNs are small nodes that can sense, interpret data, and communicate wirelessly. Many routing, power control, and data dissemination techniques have been developed specifically for WSNs, where energy efficiency is a crucial design factor.
 On the other hand, the focus has been on energy harvesting and standard routing methods, which can vary depending on the design and network architecture. In a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), the data collected by the sensor nodes is typically transferred to the base station, which connects the sensor network to other networks (such as the internet), where it is processed and necessary action is taken. WSN has recently been developed to allow various applications, including traffic enforcement building automation, smart warfare, environmental sensing, and many more.WSN integrates several sensors or nodes deployed around a specific node to perform computational processes.

Preventing overloaded dissemination in healthcare applications using NonDelay tolerant dissemination technique

Wearable Sensors (WSs) are widely used in healthcare applications to monitor patient health. During the data transmission, dissemination requires additional time to transmit the details with minimum computation difficulties. The existing techniques consume high overloaded while transmitting data in healthcare applications. The research problem is overcome by applying the non-delay-tolerant dissemination technique (NDTDT) to prevent overloaded dissemination and augment immediate, swift message delivery. The dissemination techniques utilize the intelligent decision-making process to provide the accumulated details to the healthcare center. The proposed approach is reliable in mitigating the errors due to inconsistent and discrete sensing intervals between the WSs. The constraints due to delay and interrupted transmission losses are reduced by selecting appropriate slots for WS information handling. This technique aims at maximizing the delivery of accumulated WS information through non-submissive or underlay dissemination. The method is designed to reduce dissemination delay and maximize successful message delivery. Two variations, sensors and data flows, validate the proposed NDTDT system's performance. The model increases the delivery rate by 0.91% and 0.932%, the dissemination probability by 0.964% and 0.98%, and the final metrics involved are an average delay of 12.78 ms and 11.67 ms.

Efficient Dissemination of Safety Messages in Vehicle Ad Hoc Network Environments

The number of people owning vehicles has been steadily growing, resulting in increased numbers of vehicles on the roads, making roads more congested, and increasing the risk of accidents. In addition, heavy rain, snow, and fog have increased due to abnormal weather caused by global warming. These bad weather conditions can also affect the safety of vehicles and drivers. The need to disseminate safety messages on the social Internet of Vehicles due to these problems has been steadily increasing. In this paper, we propose an efficient safety message dissemination scheme that focuses on urban environments with high vehicle density and mobility to address these problems. The proposed scheme reduces packet loss by considering frequent cluster departures and subscriptions through an efficient cluster management technique. In a vehicle-to-vehicle environment, the dissemination of safety messages is divided into intracluster and intercluster emergencies, as well as a general safety message dissemination technique. In a vehicle-to-infrastructure environment, the proposed scheme reduces the number of processing requests and duplicate messages made to roadside units (RSUs) through a request operation process for each vehicle and an RSU scheduling technique. We conducted several performance evaluations of message packet loss and the number of RSU processing requests to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed scheme.

How to increase cookstove adoption? Exploring cost-effective dissemination techniques in Central Mozambique

The adoption and usage of improved cookstoves have been promoted in the Global South to mitigate the adverse effects of relying on solid biomass for cooking. However, the uptake and continued use of improved cookstoves remain low. Several behavioral changing techniques have been used to increase the adoption of improved cooking stoves. Still, the monetary costs involved in the dissemination process are generally neglected, and few studies follow an experimental design to evaluate the impact of different stove dissemination approaches. Thus, we conducted an experiment to explore the cost-effectiveness of dissemination approaches and measure their effect on improved cookstoves adoption in Central Mozambique. Forty communities were randomly assigned to receive one of the following treatments: (1) individual video training, (2) on-site group training or (3) a combination of both. In total, 620 households we randomly selected from the 40 communities to participate in the study and 510 were included in the final analysis. The rates of adoption within each treatment were 53 % for individual video training, 21 % for on-site group training and 47 % for the combination of both. The monetary training costs were lower for individual video training, which stimulated the early and sustained adoption of improved cook stoves. Our findings provide strong evidence that the tool used for capacity building affects the adoption of improved cookstoves. Extension agencies should be aware of cost-effectiveness and adjust dissemination approaches to achieve the highest impact per unit of resource expenditure.

Energy-efficient routing protocol on public roads using real-time traffic information

Wireless technology has been significantly expanding to perform automotive services related to enhancing road networks and increasing traffic safety. Internet of Vehicles (IoV), as a part of wireless sensor technology, has succeeded in making considerable progress in promoting and protecting human lives from the damage caused by traffic accidents. The road statistical reports demonstrated that utilizing data dissemination techniques in IoV to share timely information about the vehicle’s position with drivers plays a key in avoiding accidents occurrence. This type of technique enables data propagation in a collaboratively and efficient manner to boost real-time performance. However, several limitations have arisen in network bandwidth usage and power consumption, as well as communication reliability with increasing packet loss probability. The main objective of this study is to present a new vehicular architecture that supports the integration of Software-Defined networks and fog computing for enhancing VANET performance. An energy-efficient and QoS-aware routing technique allowing for control of excessive dissemination of data traffic across the networks is also proposed. The simulation results show that the proposed routing protocol introduced an accurately controlling methodology in the transmission rate of data packets and communication reliability of VANET. There is a 50–60% enhancement of the whole power consumption and network throughput, depending on the implementation of the proposed geographical routing methodology.

WORKING WITH COMMUNITIES TO INCREASE DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION IN GERONTOLOGICAL RESEARCH

Abstract Gerontological researchers are encouraged to include older adults from underrepresented populations in their research and to think broadly about how they conceptualize diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in their work. This includes not only research on older adults from minority racial and ethnic communities, but also lesbian/gay/bisexual/trans*/queer+ (LGBTQ+) communities, as well as other cultural, religious, and socioeconomic groups. One of the most successful ways for reaching older adults in these populations is through community-based participatory research (CBPR). CBPR is a partnership approach to research that equitably involves community members, organizational representatives, researchers, and others in all aspects of the research process, with all partners in the process contributing expertise and sharing in the decision-making and ownership. Two papers in this symposium use CBPR to identify and include older adults from minority populations in their studies. A third paper reports on working with a Community Advisory Board to recruit bereaved dementia caregivers for research. The final paper walks us through steps to increase DEI efforts by meticulous research question development and thoughtful determinations regarding literature review terminology, recruitment efforts, data collection, and reporting and dissemination techniques.
