Optimizing Frame Techniques in 2-Dimensional Video Models in a Learning Perspective

As competition for talent increases, electronic media are often used to convey information and influence students' points of view. Animated films are an electronic media that can be used to bridge learning to make it more interesting and provide a new environmental feel for students. According to research results conducted by Computer Technology Research (CRT), people only remember 20% of what they see and 30% of what they hear. Yet people remember 50% of what they see and hear and 80% of what they see, hear and do at the same time. This research aims to evaluate students' level of interest and enthusiasm for learning history through animation media. The research method was created using two-dimensional (2D) animation techniques using frame by frame animation techniques. The data obtained is the result of research from interviews, observations, literature studies and questionnaires conducted at SDN 3 Kutasari which is located in Banyumas Regency. The results of the questionnaire testing used a Likert scale and the average formula for the results of the calculation was 87.9%, so it was included in the agree category or worthy of being shown as a 2D animated short film.

Verging war between two atomic nations: Delineating coverage of India–Pakistan water dispute in global press

Arguably, journalistic practices should outline conflict reporting with a balanced approach to elicit non-violent responses. To date, no study has unfolded the coverage of the Indo-Pak potential war fueling “water dispute” by underpinning the theoretical notion of war and peace journalistic practices. Thus, drawing an analogy to war and peace journalism model, this article examines the media framing of the India–Pakistan water dispute in the USA, Chinese, Indian, and Pakistani newspapers. The study used a content analysis method to examine the use of framing techniques in newspapers. Findings supported that the global press' framing of the water dispute between India and Pakistan was dominated by war frames compared to peace frames. The Indian press used more war frames among the four countries while covering water disputes between rival nuclear neighbors. Moreover, it was found that the USA and Chinese press gave negligible coverage. The implications of the findings are discussed.

An Ecological Approach to Dynamic and Static Camera Framing Techniques

Media practitioners and scholars have long pointed out that a camera’s angle, movement, and distance are a fundamental part of video communication, as they alter the message in meaningful ways that in turn affect the viewer’s experience. Drawing on J. J. Gibson’s ecological approach to perception, this paper argues that camera effects are not arbitrary, but are rooted in how video interplays with our perceptual and motor systems, rendering it a universally accessible mode of communication. Through a comprehensive review of empirical and experimental studies on camerawork, the ecological paradigm is proposed as a coherent framework capable of explaining seemingly unrelated camera effects, with great potential to drive future research in audiovisual communication.

Effects of cornering conditions on the aerodynamic characteristics of a high-performance vehicle and its rear wing

This study investigates the aerodynamic behavior of a high-performance vehicle and the interaction with its rear wing in straight-line and steady-state cornering conditions. Analyses are performed with Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes based computational fluid dynamics simulations using a moving reference frame and overset mesh technique, validated against moving ground wind tunnel experiments. The results indicate a significant 20% decrease in downforce and 35% increase in drag compared to straight-line conditions at the smallest considered corner radius of 2.9 car-lengths. Downforce losses primarily stem from performance deficits on the underbody and rear wing, alongside elevated upper body lift. Drag penalties mainly result from additional pressure drag induced by a recirculation wake vortex generated behind the vehicle's inboard side. The vehicle's lateral pressure distribution is also affected, introducing a centripetal force that increases with smaller corner radii. Additionally, analyses of the rear wing reveal alternations of its aerodynamic characteristics in cornering, particularly impacting vortical flow and suction on the lower surface. Throughout the operating conditions, the rear wing's individual downforce contribution falls off beyond its stall angle. At higher angles of attack, the rear wing primarily generates downforce by pressurizing the vehicle's upper surfaces, but its interaction with the near-wake leads to a substantially increased pressure drag. Overall, these findings provide crucial insights into the intricate aerodynamic interactions of high-performance vehicles in diverse operating conditions as well as form an essential foundation for future research on static and active aerodynamic designs in the pursuit to optimize vehicle performance in dynamic driving conditions.

Loss framing increases entity theorists’ vaccine uptake

Although vaccination is an effective way to protect individuals against contagious diseases (e.g., COVID-19 and influenza), vaccine hesitancy remains widespread. This research seeks to understand why some individuals are hesitant to be vaccinated and proposes communication strategies to increase their vaccine uptake. Specifically, we examine how individuals’ implicit theory orientation (entity vs. incremental) drives their vaccine hesitancy and how different message framing techniques (gain vs. loss) can mitigate this tendency and increase vaccine uptake. Across six studies (N = 2,773, among which three studies were pre-registered), we demonstrate that entity (vs. incremental) theorists exhibit lower intentions for vaccination against various contagious diseases. Moreover, entity theorists’ vaccination intentions were higher when framing the consequences of not getting vaccinated as a loss than framing the benefits of getting vaccinated as a gain. In contrast, message framing does not affect incremental theorists’ intentions for vaccination. In conclusion, this research enhances our understanding of factors influencing vaccine uptake, sheds light on the interaction between implicit theory orientation and message framing in the context of infectious diseases and offers practical communication strategies for health officials and policymakers to address vaccine hesitancy.

Gothic Experiences in Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

This paper thoroughly analyses the theme of the gothic imagination in the works of Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bronte, specifically in Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. The novels portray romantic and sublime scenes with elements of terror, horror, and the uncanny, which contribute to the gothic feelings experienced by the characters. The study also explores women's suffering in the context of gothic thought. Various factors inherent to the gothic genre actually contribute to the 19th century readers’ fascination with the supernatural and thrilling emotions. This work explores gothic experiences depicted in novels using gothic tropes and critical approaches such as Marxism, feminism, or psychoanalysis. The use of the framing narrative technique remains a distinctive aspect of this study which worthily includes The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, a book that many critics have wrongly overlooked when interpreting the Bronte sisters’ novels in the light of the gothic trend. The analysis considers the common gothic features that characterise the novels, rather than treating them separately. This reinforces and enhances the scope of the analysis of the Gothic vision of these Victorian novelists.

Does the addition of convex uniplanar screws in hybrid constructs improve 3D surgical correction in thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis posterior fusion?

Hybrid techniques using thoracic sublaminar bands have proved their efficacy in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis posterior fusion, but clinical axial correction sometimes remained disappointing. One solution found was "the frame technique" and the second alternative was the replacement of the convex sublaminar bands by periapical uniplanar screws. The goal of this study was to compare clinical and radiological outcomes of both techniques in a consecutive cohort of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients. All patients undergoing primary posterior fusion for thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis between January 2017 and March 2020 were included. Two groups were compared: Group 1 with thoracic sublaminar bands only and Group 2 with periapical uniplanar screws. All patients underwent standing stereoradiographs. The main frontal, sagittal, and axial (apical vertebra rotation) radiological parameters of interest were analyzed. Functional outcomes were assessed using the Scoliosis Research Society 30 score. A total of 147 adolescents were included (Group 1, n = 73 and Group 2, n = 74 patients). In the frontal plane, a greater reduction index was observed in Group 2 (68% versus 62%, p < 0.001) as well as a better apical axial correction (67.8% versus 46.6%, p = 0.03). The number of thoracoplasty performed was reduced (6.7% versus 20.5%, p = 0.02) in Group 2, with a significant decrease in the rate of mechanical complication. No significant loss of correction was observed during follow-up in any of the group. The adjunction of convex uniplanar screws at the periapical levels improved the three-dimensional surgical correction of thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis treated with hybrid constructs. level III, retrospective comparative study.

Public and commercial more of the same? The characteristics of the opening monologues of public and commercial channels during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, first identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, rapidly spread across the globe and resulted in significant public concern. In response, numerous countries have implemented guidelines aimed at promoting social distancing, limiting movement and gatherings, instituting lockdowns and curfews, and closing institutions. As a result, the media, including news releases, has become a primary source of information for many individuals (Laor & Lissitsa, 2022). The present study seeks to investigate differences between major television programs featured on public and commercial channels in Israel, utilizing the lens of framing theory. Specifically, twelve monologues broadcast simultaneously on both channels were analyzed to compare differences in content, topics, format, and accompanying visuals. The study's results indicate that both commercial and public channels exhibited similar behavior in shaping public opinion during the crisis period. Specifically, both channels displayed criticism of the government's conduct and utilized negative framing techniques while neglecting to provide space for popular voices. Nevertheless, certain distinctions between the commercial and public broadcasting spheres still persist, particularly in the realm of visual presentation, as some long-standing elements that typify each channel have endured over time.

The main aim of this study was to investigate the strategic employment of narrative methods and presentational techniques in Ukrainian television news from 2004 to 2020. This study sought to evaluate their impact on the construction of narratives and public discourse. A mixed-methods approach was employed to analyze 531 news releases from three Ukrainian television channels: “1+1”, “Ukraina”, and “Inter”. The application of statistical methods for data processing was employed for the quantitative analysis, while the qualitative analysis comprised a rhetorical investigation of narratives and framing techniques. This approach enabled a comprehensive examination of how news narratives are structured, presented, and perceived, offering insights into the underlying mechanisms of news layouts and editorial strategies. The study’s findings demonstrated a significant reliance on conflict framing, economic consequence framing, and character-driven narratives to increase viewer engagement and comprehension. Hierarchical structuring and modular design were identified as key presentation methods that reflect adaptability to real-time broadcasting requirements and audience preferences. This investigation concludes that narrative strategies and presentation techniques play a crucial role in shaping public perception, thereby affecting the construction of media narratives and societal views. The study’s findings are significant for media practitioners and policymakers, as they emphasize the importance of narrative realism and ethical considerations in news production. The research results also offer a foundation for future studies on the effects of digital transformation on news narrative structures.

ANALYSIS OF ZHONGDANG PAN AND GERALD M KOSICKI’S FRAMING ON NEWS REJECTION OF ROHINGNYA REFUGEES IN ACEH BESAR (STUDY ON ANTARANEWS.COM AND DETIK.COM)

This research aims to analyze the framing techniques of Antaranews.com and Detik.com media in reporting on Rohingya refugees on December 11 2023. This is interesting because the two media come from different ownership; Antaranews.com is managed by the Antara National News Agency (LKBN Antara), which is a State-Owned Enterprise (BUMN) in the news agency sector, while Detik.com is under the private company PT Trans Digital Media. The author uses the framing analysis model of Zhong Dang Pan and Gerald M. Kosicki to divide this news frame into 4 structural dimensions, namely syntax, script, thematic and rhetorical. The results of the research show that the framing of news about the rejection of Rohingya refugees in Aceh on December 11 2023 written by Antaranews.com was more balanced than Detik.com in presenting the news. The selection of quotes and photos included makes the reporting construction carried out by Antaranews.com try to direct public opinion to see from both sides, the Rohingya refugees and the residents of Ladong Aceh Besar. Meanwhile, Detik.com has not fulfilled the 5W+1H principle and does not write news from both sides of the point of view.

Ahram Online emphasizes cooperation, regional stability, and responsible water use, framing the GERD issue positively. 'The Reporter' highlights Ethiopia's historical challenges and the urgency of the GERD project while critically framing external actors.Al-Ahram's tone remains optimistic and cooperative, emphasizing diplomatic solutions. 'The Reporter' exhibits varying tones, including optimism, urgency, skepticism, and negativity, reflecting Ethiopia's perspective and concerns about external actors and evolving tensions.

News Frames as Islamophobic Narratives: Radicalized Concepts

Media meets individuals' information/news needs, entertains them, and influences their political preferences through the content it produces. In addition to these fundamental functions, media, which also has many functions that can shape everyday life, plays an important role in constructing/determining meaning in an individual's mental world. The increase in Islamophobia, which has become a global problem, has also been influenced by the problematic nature/editorial policies of international and national media outlets. The media, which produces content with a form that dictates how individuals should think about Islam and Muslims, and what meanings should form in their minds, shapes the mental world of individuals with the meaning frames it creates. This study aims to understand in what frames news about elements known as Islamic clothing/appearance, such as headscarves, hijab, veiling, turban, thobe, taqiyah, and beard are presented in the Turkish media. Therefore, news articles on the websites of media organizations named Sözcü, Cumhuriyet, and Halk TV, which were selected through purposive sampling, were analyzed using the framing technique. The research findings indicate that concepts related to Islam and Muslims are presented in a radicalized manner, framed with negative narratives and that Islamophobic thinking patterns are conveyed to individuals.

Designing Data Visualisations for Self-Compassion in Personal Informatics

Wearable personal trackers offer exciting opportunities to contribute to one's well-being, but they also can foster negative experiences. It remains a challenge to understand how we can design personal informatics experiences that help users frame their data in a positive manner and foster self-compassion. To explore this, we conducted a study where we compared different visualisations for user-generated screen time data. We examined positive, neutral and negative framings of the data and whether or not a point of reference was provided in a visualisation. The results show that framing techniques have a significant effect on reflection, rumination and self-compassion. We contribute insights into what design features of data representations can support positive experiences in personal informatics.

Dose reduction in dynamic synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A PET imaging using artificial neural networks

Objective. Reducing dose in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging increases noise in reconstructed dynamic frames, which inevitably results in higher noise and possible bias in subsequently estimated images of kinetic parameters than those estimated in the standard dose case. We report the development of a spatiotemporal denoising technique for reduced-count dynamic frames through integrating a cascade artificial neural network (ANN) with the highly constrained back-projection (HYPR) scheme to improve low-dose parametric imaging. Approach. We implemented and assessed the proposed method using imaging data acquired with 11C-UCB-J, a PET radioligand bound to synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A) in the human brain. The patch-based ANN was trained with a reduced-count frame and its full-count correspondence of a subject and was used in cascade to process dynamic frames of other subjects to further take advantage of its denoising capability. The HYPR strategy was then applied to the spatial ANN processed image frames to make use of the temporal information from the entire dynamic scan. Main results. In all the testing subjects including healthy volunteers and Parkinson’s disease patients, the proposed method reduced more noise while introducing minimal bias in dynamic frames and the resulting parametric images, as compared with conventional denoising methods. Significance. Achieving 80% noise reduction with a bias of −2% in dynamic frames, which translates into 75% and 70% of noise reduction in the tracer uptake (bias, −2%) and distribution volume (bias, −5%) images, the proposed ANN+HYPR technique demonstrates the denoising capability equivalent to a 11-fold dose increase for dynamic SV2A PET imaging with 11C-UCB-J.

Ex uno plures: how to construct high-speed movies of collapsing cavitation bubbles from a single image

The time-resolved visualization of the dynamics of a cavitation bubble usually requires the use of expensive high-speed cameras, which often provide a limited spatial resolution. In the present study, we propose an alternative to these high-speed imaging techniques. The method is based on the recently introduced virtual frame technique, which relates the motion of a monotonic propagating front to the resulting image blur captured on a long-exposure shadowgraph. We use a consumer-level camera to photograph the entire collapse phase of cavitation bubbles. We then demonstrate that both the dynamics of a spherically collapsing bubble and those of a bubble collapsing near a rigid boundary can be accurately reconstructed from this single photograph at a virtual frame rate of up to 2 Mfps on a 24.2 Mpx sensor.

Bone Transport with the Taylor Spatial Frame Technique: A Case Series.

Bone transport is a beneficial reconstructive method for bone defects caused by infected non-unions or bone tumours. The Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF) is a three-dimensional corrective external fixator that can be used to achieve bone transport and correct any residual deformities easily at any time. This study reports the results of bone transport using TSF. This is a retrospective study of ten patients who underwent bone transport using the TSF. The mean age was 32.3 years; the femur was affected in one case and the lower leg in nine. Bone defects were due to infected non-unions in seven cases and bone tumours in three. The duration of external fixation, bone transport distance, distraction index (DI), alignment at the end of correction, leg length discrepancy, and complications were investigated. The average bone transport distance was 76.0 mm. The external fixation period averaged 367 days with the DI at 20.8 days/cm. Deformity at the docking site was assessed to have an average 2.6° deformity and 2.0 mm translation in the frontal view, as well as 3.3° deformity and 3.7 mm translation in the lateral view. The mean leg length discrepancy was 10.9 mm and the percentage of the mechanical axis (%MA) was 40.6%. Four patients underwent plate conversion after correction and two required additional surgery for non-union at the docking site. Bone union was achieved in all patients and there was no reaggravation of infection or tumour recurrence. The TSF allowed for the correction of deformities and translations that occurred during bone transport giving excellent results. However, as with bone transport using this or other devices, additional procedures are often needed to obtain consolidation or docking site union. Shimokawa K, Matsubara H, Hikichi T, et al.

A dual-process perspective on the relationship between implicit attitudes and discriminatory behaviour

Abstract The dual-process perspective (DPP), which contrasts intuitive and deliberative cognitive processes, has advanced our understanding of the conditions under which cultural orientations, such as implicit attitudes, influence overt behaviour considerably. We test a central tenet of the DPP using a choice experiment on the placement of trust in hypothetical economic transactions. According to the principle of catalyzation, the impact of implicit cultural orientations on overt behaviour should be greater if the behaviour comes about in an intuitive rather than a deliberative manner. In this study, we focus on the implicit attitudes towards class and ethnicity and measure their impact on social behaviour via estimates of the effects of corresponding attributes within the choice experiment. Using a framing technique to experimentally induce intuitive or reflective responses, we find that implicit attitudes affect the placement of trust in the intuitive framing condition but not in the reflective framing condition. Besides providing a strict test of a central tenet of the DPP in a choice-experimental set-up, our study also sheds light on different cognitive mechanisms underlying discriminatory behaviour.
