Audience Perception Of Medical Advertisements On FM Radio

Many consumers use the medicines they need without consulting any doctor or health professional in Pakistan, due to which there is not only an unnecessary use and wastage of medicines but also these unnecessary medicines have serious effects on the health of consumers. FM radio is a popular medium among the people with low SES specifically. Medical advertisements can be frequently heard on almost any radio channel in Pakistan. The objectives of this study were to examine the audience perception of the medical/health advertisements on FM Radio, their perception and procurement behaviors. A thorough quantitative survey concluded that audiences not only consider radio as an authentic medium, also they believe that the content of medical advertisements is useful for them. They were willing to purchase the advertised drugs without any doubt in their mind and considered it safe as they believe in authenticity of the medium advertised on.

Radio Begijnenstraat: a radiophonic delirium

Radio Begijnenstraat is an ongoing audio project on the psychiatric ward of the Antwerp prison in Belgium. For ten years now, NGO hell-er organises creation and recording sessions every week. Under the guidance of an artist, the residents work on a radio episode. The result is a podcast of about forty-five minutes: a cut-and-paste montage representing two months of prison time ranging from life stories to poetry, own texts and music, to performance, drama, and improvisation. Every year Radio Begijnenstraat produces six episodes and every month it broadcasts on local FM radio and digital radio online. In this article, I will describe how our project as a transferential medium introduces an empty non-existent space (the ether) that may be freely filled. We find that clients are naturally and actively confronted with different kinds of representations and derivations of the clinical transference. Also, there is the act of recording, preserving, juggling, and fixing. It is a reference to a fragment of a post-dramatic radiophonic narrative that is realised with editing and later listened to. Not only do we make radio for an invisible audience, we also listen to ourselves and that is the mirror, even during the creation of the episodes.

The development of a 10.7-MHz fully balanced current-tunable bandpass filter with Caprio technique

Bandpass filters are integral in modern communication systems for selecting specific frequency ranges to ensure interference-free signal transmission and reception. This paper explores various bandpass filter designs, including those using active inductors, transmission-line unit-cells, microstrip open-loop resonators, and dual-port dual-frequency integration antennas. The focus is on the 10.7-MHz bandpass filter, widely used in FM radio and television systems. The study evaluates current-controlled and balanced designs, analyzing their performance, advantages, and drawbacks. Unique trade-offs in terms of linearity, distortion, temperature sensitivity, and component variations are discussed. Additionally, advancements in filter technology and diverse design options are presented. The paper introduces a novel current-balanced, frequency-adjusted bandpass filter to address odd-order noise issues. This filter aims to achieve high linearity, harmonic distortion attenuation, and the elimination of even-order harmonics. Through synthesis, analysis, simulation, and comparison with traditional filters, the proposed design enhances signal quality and efficiency. The fully-balanced current-tunable bandpass filter with the Caprio technique at 10.7 MHz is developed, exhibiting symmetrical characteristics with lower total harmonic distortion. The circuit’s structure is simple and adaptable for integration, validated through consistent simulation results. The study concludes by emphasizing the constant sensitivity of transistor differential amplifier circuits to the center frequency and the linear relationship between center frequency and adjustable bias current. The suggested transistor and capacitor selection criteria contribute to optimizing the circuit’s performance, aligning with the Caprio technique’s recommendations. Overall, this research presents a promising solution for achieving high-quality signal transmission in contemporary communication systems

Effectiveness of Multilingual Broadcasting: A Case Study of Radio Nepal

Radio Nepal, as the pioneering radio broadcaster of the country, has played a crucial role in serving its listeners for over seven decades. In the earlier years, it was the sole medium of information, education, and entertainment, particularly for rural communities, before the advent of television and FM radios. As a national broadcaster, Radio Nepal has assumed significant national duties and responsibilities that set it apart from other media outlets. In response to the evolving socio-political landscape, Radio Nepal has bolstered its multilingual or inclusive broadcasting by incorporating more native languages into its programming. Currently, it broadcasts news and programs in 21 different languages, in addition to Nepali, aiming to address the linguistic diversity of the nation. This research aims to fill this knowledge gap and assess the impact of Radio Nepal's inclusive broadcasting from the listener's perspective. To measure the effectiveness, the research conducted a survey based on Radio Nepal's initiative to evaluate its inclusive broadcasting. The findings reveal that Radio Nepal's inclusive broadcasting has been highly effective. Listeners from diverse linguistic communities have shown a growing interest in news and programs broadcast in their native languages. Moreover, broadcasting has successfully transcended linguistic boundaries, reaching beyond specific communities, thereby contributing to the conservation and respect of different languages by the state and society.

Driving errors as a function of listening to music and FM radio: A simulator study

Objectives Driving is a dynamic activity that takes place in a constantly changing environment, carrying safety implications not only for the driver but also for other road users. Despite the potentially life-threatening consequences of incorrect driving behavior, drivers often engage in activities unrelated to driving. This study aims to investigate the frequency and types of errors committed by drivers when they are distracted compared to when they are not distracted. Methods A total of 64 young male participants volunteered for the study, completing four driving trials in a driving simulator. The trials consisted of different distraction conditions: listening to researcher-selected music, driver-selected music, FM radio conversation, and driving without any auditory distractions. The simulated driving scenario resembled a semi-urban environment, with a track length of 12 km. Results The findings of the study indicate that drivers are more prone to making errors when engaged in FM radio conversations compared to listening to music. Additionally, errors related to speeding were found to be more prevalent across all experimental conditions. Conclusions These results emphasize the significance of reducing distractions while driving to improve road safety. The findings add to our understanding of the particular distractions that carry higher risks and underscore the necessity for focused interventions to reduce driver errors, especially related to FM radio conversations. Future research can delve into additional factors that contribute to driving errors and develop effective strategies to promote safer driving practices.

Wi-Flex

In this paper, we are interested in startle reflex detection with WiFi signals. We propose that two parameters related to the received signal bandwidth, maximum normalized bandwidth and bandwidth-intense duration, can successfully detect reflexes and robustly differentiate them from non-reflex events, even from those that involve intense body motions (e.g., certain exercises). In order to confirm this, we need a massive RF reflex dataset which would be prohibitively laborious to collect. On the other hand, there are many available reflex/non-reflex videos online. We then propose an efficient way of translating the content of a video to the bandwidth of the corresponding received RF signal that would have been measured if there was a link near the event in the video, by drawing analogies between our problem and the classic bandwidth modeling work of J. Carson in the context of analog FM radios (Carson's Rule). This then allows us to translate online reflex/non-reflex videos to an instant large RF bandwidth dataset, and characterize optimum 2D reflex/non-reflex decision regions accordingly, to be used during real operation with WiFi. We extensively test our approach with 203 reflex events, 322 non-reflex events (including 142 intense body motion events), over four areas (including several through-wall ones), and with 15 participants, achieving a correct reflex detection rate of 90.15% and a false alarm rate of 2.49% (all events are natural). While the paper is extensively tested with startle reflexes, it is also applicable to sport-type reflexes, and is thus tested with sport-related reflexes as well. We further show reflex detection with multiple people simultaneously engaged in a series of activities. Optimality of the proposed design is also demonstrated experimentally. Finally, we conduct experiments to show the potential of our approach for providing cost-effective and quantifiable metrics in sports, by quantifying a goalkeeper's reaction. Overall, our results confirm a fast, robust, and cost-effective reflex detection system, without collecting any RF training data, or training a neural network.

Digital Technology and Copyright Protection the Challenges of Indian Performers Rights Society

Indian music is ever-green. Every restaurant, pub. Airports, stadium, television etc plays them making them world famous. India has 465 FM Radio stations which constantly play Indian Bollywood music. Though the song becomes well known the singer who sang the song is not recognized nor does he or she receive sufficient compensation for the song. The artist in India is the one who works so hard but ends up getting nothing. The ‘Indian Copyright law was amended in 2012’ to acknowledge the rights of performers. The singers were recognized as performers. The law provided for royalty to be paid to the singers. In reality this royalty never reached the singers. The problem for the singer was identifying the user playing his song and the problem for a genuine user was identifying the location of the singer to pay the royalty directly to him. Therefore, there was a need for an independent body to administer the copyright and collect royalty. ISRA is the bridge between the singer and the user which helps in collecting royalty. This article discusses the issues faced by the singers and the need to develop a smother collective administration of copyright.

BAHASA LOKAL SULAWESI TENGGARA DALAM DUNIA PENYIARAN

This article explores the use of local languages in the broadcasting world on community radio in Southeast Sulawesi in conveying messages to listeners so that they are more easily accepted. This paper takes the case of community radio in Konawe, Buton and Wakatobi districts. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method (Moeloeng, 2005). Data collection techniques are used by collecting secondary data and primary data. Secondary data was obtained through document collection from community radios in Southeast Sulawesi. Furthermore, primary data was obtained through the researcher's field notes and the results of interviews with informants. Again, the collected data is sorted and then selected using triangulation techniques. The use of local languages in the broadcasting world, from the results of research that has been carried out by community radios in Southeast Sulawesi, namely Suara Marannu Radio on Saponda Island, Pasihuang FM Radio in Mekar Village, Soropia District which uses the Bajo language, Talombo FM Radio on Tomia Wakatobi Island which uses the Indonesian language Tomia, and Sinar Lapandewa Radio in Buton which uses Cia-Cia language. Use of Local Languages in broadcasting activities. Efforts made by community radio managers to oblige broadcasters to use regional languages are nothing but a filter against the presence of slang, Alay and Jakarta accents which are widely used by broadcasters in greeting young people in Indonesia which will certainly cause the next generation to be foreign. in his own language.

ANALYSIS OF THE LEVEL OF SATISFACTION OF LISTENERS OF RADIO DEHASEN 88.5 FM (Descriptive Study of Dehasen University Students Bengkulu)

Radio listeners are increasingly selective in choosing radio broadcast programs, so that the number of radio listeners is decreasing, plus the presence of other media causes a lack of listener interest in listening to radio. This is a problem for radio station managers such as Radio Dehasen 88.5 FM which is under the auspices of Dehasen University Bengkulu. The purpose of this study was to find out how much the level of listener satisfaction on Radio Dehasen 88.5 FM, especially among students at Dehasen University Bengkulu. This study uses the Uses and Gratification Theory which focuses on the use of media (uses) to get satisfaction (gratification). This research is a quantitative research with the method used is survey. The sample in this study amounted to 98 people. From the results of this study it can be seen that the intensity of listening to the radio by listeners of Dehasen 88.5 FM Radio is as much as 30.4% listening to the radio for 10-45 minutes, 53.6% listening for 46-90 minutes, 8.9% listening for 91-135 minutes, and 7.1% listened for 135-180. The Uses and Gratification theory shows that the main problem is not how the media changes audience attitudes and behavior, but how the media fulfills the personal and social needs of audiences. This study wants to know whether listening to the radio can fulfill listener satisfaction, namely information satisfaction, personal identity satisfaction, social interaction satisfaction, and entertainment satisfaction. These indicators are used to measure listener satisfaction in listening to the radio. Based on the average results of the research, the listener satisfaction level of Dehasen 88.5 FM Radio is in the Fairly Satisfied category with a percentage score of 49.324%.
