Postbreeding ecology of wood ducks in the Illinois River Valley

AbstractThe wood duck (Aix sponsa) consistently ranks within the top 5 harvested duck species for both Illinois and the Mississippi Flyway. While substantial research has been done on wood ducks, especially their breeding ecology, few studies have investigated the postbreeding ecology of the species. We captured and marked wood ducks with either a very high frequency (VHF) radio transmitter or a solar‐charged global system of mobile communication (GSM) transmitter during the postbreeding period from August through September 2018–2020. Capture locations were within the La Grange Pool of the Illinois River extending from near Pekin, Illinois to the La Grange Lock and Dam near Meredosia, Illinois, USA. We used conventional radio‐telemetry techniques to track wood ducks to determine cover type use, home range size, daily movement patterns, survival, and migration chronology. Home range size (95% minimum convex polygon) for wood ducks averaged 6,820 ± 572 ha (SE) and we did not find evidence for a difference by age, sex, or transmitter type. Daily movement distance in August (2,031 ± 51 m) was similar to daily movement distance in September (1,922 ± 44 m), but daily movement distances for August and September were less than daily movement distance for October (3,509 ± 53 m) and November (3,347 ± 106 m). Wood ducks primarily used wetlands with woody (45.0%) and emergent vegetation (40.4%), and the most commonly used wetland types by wood ducks were impounded wetlands (53.8%), lakes (17.6%), and ponds (10.7%). Model‐derived survival during the postbreeding period was 0.79 (95% CI = 0.74–0.84). Daily survival was positively related to increased river level and had a mean increase of 4.06 ± 0.67% for every 0.3‐m increase in the Illinois River level at low river levels (1.5–3.0 m) and a mean increase of 1.38 ± 0.32% for every 0.3‐m increase in the Illinois River level at high river levels (4.0–5.5 m). Average departure date of wood ducks leaving the Illinois River Valley was 27 October (range =13 August–15 December), and adult male wood ducks left the study area 11–16 days earlier than the other age and sex cohorts (H2 = 11.6, P = 0.01). Providing additional waterfowl sanctuaries that contain wooded wetlands, especially in years of low river levels, may increase survival for wood ducks during the postbreeding period.

Space and cybersecurity: Challenges and opportunities emerging from national strategy narratives

Modern societies are increasingly dependent on space technology. The number of activities that rely on space infrastructure includes global positioning and communications systems, financial transactions and global trade, public and private scientific research, environmental monitoring and fore-casting, and audio-visual entertainment. Within the security and defence domain, this reliance becomes even more pronounced as satellites enhance command, control, communications and intelligence, surveillance, and recon-naissance (C4ISR), missile defence, or advanced autonomous systems. Furthermore, ongoing advancements in science and technology are opening new frontiers in outer space, promising significant economic potential through ventures like space travel and space mining. Considering the geopolitical implications of the dependence on space technology, the objective of this study is to examine how Western countries and organizations understand space within their strategic thinking. By conducting a comparative analysis of the most recent national security strategies and security and defence space strategies released by a sample of Western countries and organizations, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, the European Union and NATO, this study aims to discern the narratives employed to depict the space domain and to identify the key trends within it, with a specific focus on the interplay between space and cybersecurity.This exercise will facilitate the identification of areas where enhanced collaboration among the selected actors is feasible or where competition may define their relationships. Consequently, it will help determine the potential for a coordinated response to collective challenges.

Legal Regulation of E-courts in Ukraine as an Element of Access to Justice for the Protection of Individual Rights

The purpose of the research is to consider electronic judicial procedure as an element of access to justice regarding protection of rights of individuals. The assessment of the effectiveness of the judicial system in Ukraine in 2023 was 2.73 points on a 5-point scale. The judicial index consists of three equivalent components: the assessment of the level of trust in the judicial system of the CEOs of the EVA member companies, which this year was 2.17 points; the assessment of the impartiality of the judicial system, which is 2.88; and the average assessment of seven factors of the organization and operation of the judicial system, which is 3 and 13 points. It has been established that that certain elements of digitalization of social processes change the social space and, in particular, the mechanisms of judicial proceedings. In the process of the development of society, certain factors came to life and these factors led to the growth of the role of information and, and therefore, to a clearer allocation of the information function in the field of jurisprudence. The following conclusion was made: the need to use information technologies in the judiciary is due to the global informatization of modern society and the development of new forms of interaction in the civil sphere with the use of electronic means of communication: the global Internet, mobile and satellite communication systems, etc. “E-court” involves the use of information and communication technologies in the process of implementing procedural legislation. The novelties of the judicial system are aimed at expanding accessibility of justice in conditions of territorial peculiarities of the Ukrainian state, improving the quality of the process and efficiency, and achieving transparency and openness in the judicial system.

IoT based monitoring of distribution transformer

As transformer does not have any rotating parts hence it is called as static device, therefore it does not have mechanical losses, but internal stresses arose from abnormal system conditions like Over currents due to overloading on Transformer and short circuits, The faults can cause mechanical and thermal stresses inside the transformer winding and its connecting terminals. Thus transformer must be protected from above stresses. The aim of this project is to obtain real time data of transformer from remote places with the help of Internet of Things[ IOT] and then designing and implementing a Global system of Mobile communication [GSM] based technology to measure overvoltage, load current, and winding temperature. By measuring the condition of Transformer will help us to point out an any abnormalities before any serious damage that in turn leads to a greater credibility and significant cost savings

GSM modem is used to send this information via SMS sent to the owner of the vehicle. Location is displayed on LCD. And then Google map displays location and name of the place on cell phone. Thus, user able to continuously monitor a moving vehicle on demand using smartphone and determine the estimated distance and time for the vehicle to arrive at a given destination

IoT Based Electrical Devices Surveillance Control

Analogue electronics devices are losing ground to digital electronics components in today’s technologically evolved society. Another aspect of our increasingly digital society is the home device control system. A lot of people are chatting it up over the cellular phone network. These phone networks rely on WIFI modules as their foundation. A shorthand way to say “global system of mobile communication” is WIFI. In addition to being widely employed in industry, it is also used in several electronics projects undertaken by engineering students. It is possible to operate equipment from afar using WIFI-based projects. For instance, what if you wanted to be able to operate any equipment from afar using only your cell phone? Would it be possible? Sure, I can help you with that. Wi-Fi modules and cell phones make it easy to power on and off various gadgets. The home devices control system was developed to enable the control of home equipment from a mobile phone by using the aforementioned ideas. This document makes use of a regulated 5V, 1A power source. When controlling voltage, a 7805 three-terminal regulator is ideal. When a 230/12V step-down transformer’s secondary AC output needs rectifying, a bridge-type full wave rectifier is the way to go.

Towards Norms for State Responsibilities regarding Online Disinformation and Influence Operations

The Internet has provided a global mass communication system, and in particular social media technologies began a social revolution for the public sphere. However, these platforms have been exploited for the purposes of influence operations and disinformation campaigns to hinder or subvert national decision-making processes by affecting the policy makers, voters, or swaying general public opinion. Often this is achieved through manipulative means falling within a grey area of international and constitutional systems. Existing proposed normative frameworks for responsible state behaviour in Cyberspace have tended to focus on cyber operations. While online influence operations are recognised as a concern, they were not explicitly discussed in the frameworks, resulting in knowledge gaps related to countering influence operations and disinformation. There is a growing narrative that influence operations and disinformation campaigns are a cyber security issue and nations sometimes include legislation related to disinformation in cyber security. This indicates that existing cyber norms can be used to guide the development of norms for addressing disinformation and influence operations. This paper aims to propose a normative framework for state responsibility relating to influence operations emerging from thematic analysis of existing cyber norms and research on mitigating influence operations.

Empowering and conquering infirmity of visually impaired using AI‐technology equipped with object detection and real‐time voice feedback system in healthcare application

AbstractThe Internet of Things is emerging as a crucial technology in aiding humans and making their lives easier. Among the human population, a large percentage of people suffer from disabilities resulting in challenges in everyday life particularly people with visual disabilities. While several inventions exist to aid people with blindness in their everyday lives, the tools are not adequate in terms of accessibility and efficiency. Smart cane is a useful technology that is being researched and developed to enhance navigation of the visually impaired through smart obstacle detection. Moreover, artificial intelligence is being incorporated in these devices to provide users with a sense of vision and allow them greater independence. However, these devices are expensive and often do not contain the desired functionality in a compact single device. The research by I‐CANe aims to create a low‐cost, single device system that is equipped with obstacle detection and identification features to enhance navigation for users without using multiple detection devices. The cane will also incorporate wireless communications for safety features such as Global Positioning System tracking and Global System for Mobile communication to allow maximum independence of the user.

Exhibitions Beyond Boundaries: Transnational Exchanges through Art, Architecture, and Design 1945-1985

As recent studies have shown,1 the history of exhibitions expands far beyond a disciplinary perspective of architectural, design, or cultural history. While scholarship on the history of international exhibitions between the 1850s and 1980s in the West is flourishing, the network of agents and institutions that has generated the consolidation of the global communication system still needs to be examined.2 This edited volume, entitled Exhibitions Beyond Boundaries: Transnational Exchanges through Art, Architecture, and Design 1945-1985, edited by Harriet Atkinson, Verity Clarkson, and Sarah A. Lichtman, is a major contribution to a research field that has remained on the margins of mainstream scholarship. In his important foreword, Jonathan M. Woodham highlights this essential book as a disciplinary turn within the historiography of exhibitions. Scholars have long recognized the possibilities and problems which lie in globalizing design history. Almost two decades ago, Christopher Bailey argued that ‘the need to develop a genuinely global field of enquiry has moved beyond being a challenge to becoming a duty’.3 Daniel Huppatz continues this trend, proposing design historians both ‘globalize history and historicize globalization,’ arguing that ‘there needs to be an understanding of the multi-directional nature of global flows - may require developing both new terms and new structures for analysis’.4 Applying the interdisciplinary approaches of design, art, and architectural history, but also social, economic, and political history, as well as cultural studies and curatorial studies, the book focuses on the ‘soft power’ of particular types of persuasion mediatized by exhibitions.

LEGAL REFLECTIONS ON THE DOWNSIDES OF GLOBAL SYSTEM FOR MOBILE COMMUNICATION AS A BOOST TO CRIME OF KIDNAPPING FOR RANSOM IN NIGERIA

The advent of global system for mobile communication otherwise called GSM is no doubt a mixed blessing to humanity. Just as the relevant security agencies are appropriating the benefits offered by the global system for mobile communication in the policing, detecting and preventing acts of criminality in the society, so also the criminal elements are beneficially misusing the communication device for criminal purposes. It is a known fact that crime is continually evolving and adapting. Kidnapping as a form of crime in Nigeria is not novel as there were reported cases of kidnapping even before the advent of colonialism for either rape, ritual or hostage taking during tribal conflicts among other reasons which then certainly excluded ransom payment. The current spate of crime of kidnapping for ransom is however one of the misfortunes unleashed on the citizenry through the advent of mobile communication device. Kidnapping for ransom in Nigeria would have been a fruitless criminal indulgence but for the advent of global system for mobile communication through which kidnappers are able to establish contact with relatives or family members of their victims to demand, for ransom payment. The diametrically opposing usage of this communication device as a handy tool in the hands of law enforcement agents towards checkmating crimes in the society and as a tool of criminal engagement for committing crime of kidnapping for ransom in Nigeria constitutes the thrust of this paper. This study concluded that despite the efforts of government in curbing this menace, it has remained a thorn in the flesh of victims and their relatives.

THE ROLE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN THE PROCESS OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNING

World globalization puts increasingly strict demands on graduates of higher education institutions. In addition to professional competencies, which include a certain set of abilities and skills, a modern specialist must not only navigate his business, but also, in accordance with state educational standards, be able to read foreign professional literature, find the necessary information and properly apply the results of foreign language training in his professional activities. The level of students' mastery of a foreign language directly depends on effective teaching methods and the use of information technologies. The article draws attention to the fact that digital technologies have become an important factor in the process of language learning. Electronic communication devices such as computers, laptops, mobile phones, global communication system, video and audio conferencing, video telephony, webcasting and chats have become an integral part of language learning and their widespread use in education. The article also notes that the emergence of technological learning has significantly expanded the possibilities of learning a foreign language and created an alternative virtual learning environment that is not limited to the walls of an educational institution. Every foreign language class usually uses some form of technology. This study focuses on the role of using new technologies in the process of foreign language training, in particular the use of the Flipped studying format. The article attempts to explain the use of technology in the process of learning a foreign language, to analyze previous scientific studies related to the use of technology to improve language skills, and to make certain recommendations for improving the use of digital technologies that help students of higher education institutions learn material using information achievements of the modern world.

Requirement-Oriented TT&C Method for Satellite Based on BDS-3 Short-Message Communication System

With the increasing number of satellites being launched in China, the demand for Telemetry, Tracking, and Command (TT&C) resources is also increasing. Because of the global coverage and resource requirements of TT&C management, this paper proposes a TT&C scheme based on the Global Short-Message Communication System (GSMCS) of the BeiDou-3 Navigation Satellite System (BDS-3). The system composition, workflow, and functions of satellite TT&C are analyzed using the GSMCS of BDS-3. Through the coverage analysis of the Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) constellation of BDS-3, scheme’s applicability is pointed out, and the correctness of the analysis results is verified via simulation. The value range of the link distance is derived by calculating the range of the distance variation between any 2 satellites in the BDS-3 MEO constellation and combining the intersatellite routing scheme. The calculation results show that the response time range of the autonomous request management application of in-orbit satellites based on the GSMCS of BDS-3 is 1.407 to 2.448 s. This can meet the requirements of TT&C service.

Social and network interaction on the Internet: to the definition of the media phenomenon

The large-scale introduction of computers into professional and everyday human activities, the formation of a global mass communication system based on the Internet and the formation of a single network space formed the basis of a modern social communication system. But at the same time, despite the long period of their development, there was no unambiguous concept denoting the phenomenon of Internet-based media, which includes means of communication, as well as the social-network interaction environment formed by them. The authors analyze four concepts used to display the media phenomenon: (1) information and communication environment, (2) social network space, (3) media space and (4) public communication space. Analysis shows that each of these concepts focuses on a specific aspect of the communications of modern society. The information and communication environment is a semi-structured set of computers and information and telecommunication technologies that allow organizing actor interactions to coordinate their activities in the storage, transmission, processing of information. A social network space is rhizome from social media, which allows users to organize online communication and produce user-generated content. Media space is a complex configuration of social media related to the production and consumption of media, the unity of which, within the framework of the information picture of the world, holds a certain social space together. The public communications space is a set of social media aimed at mainstreaming socially significant problems and discussing in the social-network space.
