Залежність ефективності кадрової синхронізації нероздільних факторіальних кодів від параметрів синхронізації

This paper aims at implementing the principles of establishing frame synchronism for non-separable factorial codes, as well as applying the operation of interleaving fragments received from the communication channel to increase the efficiency of finding permutation boundaries. We apply the algorithm for establishing frame synchronism with parameters defined for the upper limit of the communication channel bit error probability P0_max = 0,495 for environments with a bit error probability P0 ≤ 0,495. The parameters of the algorithm for establishing frame synchronism with the upper limit of the communication channel bit error probability P0_max = 0,4 are determined. The efficiency of using the interleaving operation of fragments received from the communication channel is evaluated. The efficiency of implementing algorithms for establishing frame synchronism with parameters determined for the upper limit of the communication channel bit error probability P0_max ≤ 0,495 and P0_max = 0,4 is compared, for environments with a bit error probability P0 ≤ 0,4. We give recommendations for selecting the synchronization algorithm parameters for communication channels where the bit error probability upper limit P0 ≤ 0,4 is known, and for channels where this value is variable. These recommendations can be used to improve the efficiency of algorithms for establishing frame synchronism when designing telecommunication systems with non-separable data factorial coding in conditions of natural or artificially created high-level communication channel noise.

Profiles of language and communication abilities in adolescents with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.

Language and communication are largely understudied among youth with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). Findings have been mixed, and have generally focused on more severely affected (i.e., children with FAS alone) or younger children. This study aimed to elucidate the profiles of language (i.e., receptive, expressive, general language) and communication (i.e., functional, social) abilities in adolescents with FASD. Participants aged 12-17 years with (AE = 31) and without (CON = 29) prenatal alcohol exposure were included. Receptive and expressive language were measured by the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals - Fifth Edition (CELF-5). Parents or caregivers completed the Children's Communication Checklist - Second Edition as a subjective measure of general language skills. Functional communication was measured by the Student Functional Assessment of Verbal Reasoning and Executive Strategies and parents or caregivers completed the Social Skills Improvement System Rating Scales as a measure of social communication. Multivariate analysis of variance determined the overall profiles of language and communication and whether they differed between groups. The AE group performed significantly lower than the CON group on receptive language and parent report of general language while groups did not significantly differ on expressive language. Groups did not significantly differ on functional communication while social communication was significantly lower in the AE group. Results of this study provide important information regarding the overall profile of basic language abilities and higher-level communication skills of adolescents with FASD. Ultimately, improving communication skills of youth with FASD may translate to better overall functioning.

79 Impact of COVID-19 wave 3 paediatric inpatient unit closures on transfers to tertiary care paediatric hospital

Abstract Background During Wave 3 of the COVID-19 pandemic, 15 community hospital paediatric inpatient units (comprising 167 beds) in Toronto were directed to close by the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) Hospital Incident Management System (IMS) Command Centre to increase adult inpatient bed capacity. All paediatric patients from closed inpatient units were redirected to a single tertiary care paediatric hospital, which increased capacity to accommodate these additional patients through activation of surge plans, while community hospitals redeployed resources to fill much needed gaps in adult care. Objectives The objective was to describe patient characteristics of all transfers during the closure to explore the impact of community paediatric inpatient unit closures on transfers to the tertiary hospital. Design/Methods A chart review of all transferred patients was conducted during the mandated closure and subsequent reopening. Transfers excluded ICU-level transfers as these were not impacted by IMS mandated closures. All transfers were categorized as requiring tertiary care (i.e. would typically be transferred) or not requiring tertiary care (i.e. only transferred due to the closure). Variables collected included sending hospital, admitting diagnosis, patient age, hospital disposition, and length of stay. Data was collected until the last paediatric unit reopened. Quality improvement project approval was granted by the institution. Results A total of 858 patients were transferred to the tertiary hospital during the 67 day closure; of those, 530 were transferred solely to increase adult bed capacity (i.e. were categorized as patients requiring non-tertiary care). The majority of patients were admitted to general paediatrics (52%), and 39% went to a surgical inpatient unit. Most patients (68%) admitted had a length of stay between 24 and 72 hours. A third of patients admitted were under 2 years old, and a third were over 12 years old. The top three diagnoses for admission were infections, gastrointestinal issues, and general surgery. Two-thirds (60%) of transfers from closed sites came from three sites. Conclusion More than half of the transfers occurred solely due to the mandated closures, and transfers returned to a stable volume once all sites re-opened. The GTA hospital system was able to respond to the mandated closure effectively through clear high-level communication, escalation processes and structures as well as responsive, real-time problem solving. Closures increased potential adult inpatient capacity by 6740 bed days and demonstrated an unprecedented system-wide approach to the provision of integrated paediatric care across the region.

Improved methodology for assessment of communication protocols for distributed road traffic simulation

A computer simulation of road traffic is a commonly used tool, which can help to manage constantly intensifying road traffic. It can help to analyze behavior of existing road traffic networks or to predict the behavior of new designed road traffic structures. There are several existing simulators designed or adapted to run in a distributed computing environment in order to achieve a faster execution. In this environment, the inter-process communication ensured by a high-level communication protocol is one of the main bottlenecks limiting the speed of the entire computation. Various high-level communication protocols can have various efficiency, applicability, and scalability. This paper describes an improved methodology for testing and assessment of high-level communication protocols for micro-scale (or microscopic) distributed road traffic simulations. The methodology investigates the dependencies of the communication protocols’ performance on various features of the simulation and enables to easily calculate score for each of the tested protocols. Using the scores, the tested protocols can be directly compared. This can be useful when designing or improving a distributed road traffic simulation as the best protocol can be used in this simulation to improve its performance (e.g., its speedup or communication time). The improved version of the methodology is an evolution of its original version. It newly incorporates the assessment of the error introduced into the simulation by lossy communication protocols and reduces overall number of performed tests. The improved methodology was tested using a case study assessing several communication protocols of our own design.

The Discourje project: run-time verification of communication protocols in Clojure

To simplify shared-memory concurrent programming, languages have started to offer core support for high-level communications primitives, in the form of message passing though channels, in addition to lower-level synchronisation primitives. Yet, a growing body of evidence suggests that channel-based programming abstractions also have their issues. The Discourje project aims to help programmers cope with channels and concurrency bugs in Clojure programs, based on dynamic analysis. The idea is that programmers write not only implementations of communication protocols in their Clojure programs, but also specifications. Discourje then offers a run-time verification library to ensure that channel actions in implementations are safe relative to specifications. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of Discourje, including case studies, theoretical foundations, and practical aspects.

Defect detection on optoelectronical devices to assist decision making: A real industry 4.0 case study

This paper presents an innovative approach, based on industry 4.0 concepts, for monitoring the life cycle of optoelectronical devices, by adopting image processing and deep learning techniques regarding defect detection. The proposed system comprises defect detection and categorization during the front-end part of the optoelectronic device production process, providing a two-stage approach; the first is the actual defect identification on individual components at the wafer level, while the second is the pre-classification of these components based on the recognized defects. The system provides two image-based defect detection pipelines. One using low resolution grating images of the wafer, and the other using high resolution surface scan images acquired with a microscope. To automate the entire process, a communication middleware called Higher Level Communication Middleware (HLCM) is used for orchestrating the information between the processing steps. At the last step of the process, a Decision Support System (DSS) collects all information, processes it and labels it with additional defect type categories, in order to provide recommendations to the optoelectronical engineer. The proposed solution has been implemented on a real industrial use-case in laser manufacturing. Analysis shows that chips validated through the proposed process have a probability to lase at a specific frequency six times higher than the fully rejected ones.

Can Technology Transform Communication Between Schools, Teachers, and Parents? Evidence from a Randomized Field Trial

Abstract We study the adoption and implementation of a new mobile communication application (app) among a sample of 132 New York City public schools. The app provides a platform for sharing general announcements and news, as well as engaging in personalized two-way communication with individual parents. We provide participating schools with free access to the app and randomize schools to receive intensive support (training, guidance, monitoring, and encouragement) for maximizing the efficacy of the app. Although user supports led to higher levels of communication within the app in the treatment year, overall usage remained low and declined in the following year when treatment schools no longer received intensive supports. We find few subsequent effects on perceptions of communication quality or student outcomes. We leverage rich internal user data to explore how take-up and usage patterns varied across staff and school characteristics. These analyses help to identify early adopters and reluctant users, revealing both opportunities and obstacles to engaging parents through new communication technology.

BioGamal Based Authentication Scheme for Cloud Assisted IoT Based WBAN

Today, wireless body area networks or WBANs consist of wearable sensors that allow people to monitor their health records remotely from anywhere in the world. Healthcare professionals and patients rely on such high-level communications for their personal data to be protected from intrusions and attacks. In order to enhance the security of WBAN architecture, many researchers are showing a keen interest in it. Using the latest standards and publications, this study examines and assesses separate security and privacy techniques, analyzing WBAN/IoT challenges as well as their limitations. Additionally, this research examines the latest security practices in WBAN. For WBAN/IOT applications, we present a novel BioGamal cryptosystem and authentication method based on biometric data. It was observed that most of the authentication protocols for cloud-based applications relying on hash functions and other cryptosystems are vulnerable to security attacks and do not provide adequate security protection against revealing end-user identities. Therefore, the proposed scheme introduces both secure biometric BioGamal-based authentication and data sharing schemes. According to our analysis, this novel approach will be more effective than existing solutions in terms of execution time, cost, and security.

Patient Safety Culture and Nursing Shortage among Nurses in Al-Medina Hospitals

This article explores the current relationship of patient safety culture to the nursing shortage in general hospitals in the city of Al-Medina, Saudi Arabia. A mixed methods article was conducted on 335 respondents drawn from 10 government hospitals in the region. We utilized an AHRQ Questionnaire for data collection, and we analyzed the data with statistical approaches such as the mean, percentages, and standard deviation. This analysis established significant relationship between patient safety cultures and nursing shortages. Furthermore, we found a weak and positive relationship between some of patient SC’s components and nursing shortages in the hospitals studied; these components included communications (r=0.144, p<0.05), the frequency of event reports (r=0.151, p<0.05), and hospital work area (r=0.329, p<0.05). Most of the nurses who participated in the current article had low incident report rates, with only three to five event reports in one year. However, among the dimensions of patient safety culture, it was found in this article that the nurses had a high level of communication (3.91±0.54/High). The overall grading of patient safety culture was moderate (3.27±0.93) in Al-Medina City. The findings of this investigation will help the Ministry of Health (MOH) decide how to improve patient safety. Moreover, to increase the condition of nursing care provided to the patients and to boost patient safety culture, the healthcare sector must consider the factors and other causes. It is also crucial that nurse leaders learn to maintain and secure patient safety and that nurses learn to frequently report incidents, including any actual errors.

ON OVERCOMING PHONETIC INTERFERENCE IN TEACHING RUSSIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

The article deals with the issue of interference influence of a mother tongue of students on the results in foreign pronunciation standards acquisition. Violations of language systems as a result of interference actions appear in the speech of students at all levels including phonic. Phonetic mistakes caused by interference create a peculiar foreign accent. They also may slow down skills and abilities building in all spheres of speech activity that could be an obstacle for successful communication. The importance of error prevention and correction is stressed. Such errors are caused by transference of articulatory properties and phonological principles of a mother tongue to learned language. The question of the necessity to continue the development of nationally-oriented methodology and its application at Russian as a foreign language lessons is raised. Communion oriented teaching seems to be the most appropriate while learning phonetic aspect. It lets work out the correct pronunciation of Russian sounds by foreign students enough for maintaining high level communication satisfying communication demands.

Mobile AC/DC test device for electric vehicle charging infrastructure communication

The large-scale deployment of charging infrastructure poses challenges to the distribution grid stability. In Hamburg, the project Electrify Buildings for Electric Vehicles (ELBE) implements and tests a demand side management communication protocol that allows the distribution grid operator to reduce the charging power of electric vehicle charging stations if necessary. For this purpose, a test device capable of testing the signal chain as well as a real load reduction is presented for DC charging infrastructure. The standardized high-level communication protocols are described. With the charger’s power electronics located in the DC charging station, the need for a battery emulation arises, which is also discussed. Finally, a novel concept for a mobile and modular test setup for combined testing signal and real load reduction of AC and DC charging infrastructure is presented.

The moderating effect of communication on congruence and incongruence of openness to change: is communication always beneficial for learning organization culture and knowledge sharing?

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to explore the moderating role of communication in the relationship between person-organization fit (P-O fit) of openness to change, learning organization and knowledge sharing.Design/methodology/approachA total of 1,015 faculty and staff participants from three private universities in South Korea was included in the analysis. Individual and organizational aspects of openness to change were examined based on the P-O fit theory. Moderated polynomial regression and response surface methodology were used for data analysis.FindingsAt a higher level of communication, the congruence of openness to change between the individual and organization showed a positive fit effect on learning organization. The incongruence of openness to change between individual and organization, in which the organizations’ openness to change was higher than that of individuals, decreased the level of knowledge sharing when the level of communication was higher.Originality/valueThe results of this study support the theory and practice that consideration of P-O fit on openness to change and a strategic approach of communication are needed to succeed in organizational change.

How do we engage people in testing for COVID-19? A rapid qualitative evaluation of a testing programme in schools, GP surgeries and a university

BackgroundThe UK Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) emphasises the need for high levels of engagement with communities and individuals to ensure the effectiveness of any COVID-19 testing programme. A novel pilot health surveillance programme to assess the feasibility of weekly community RT-LAMP (Reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification) testing for the SARS-CoV-2 virus using saliva samples collected at home was developed and piloted by the University of Southampton and Southampton City Council.MethodsRapid qualitative evaluation was conducted to explore experiences of those who took part in the programme, of those who declined and of those in the educational and healthcare organisations involved in the pilot testing who were responsible for roll-out. This included 77 interviews and 20 focus groups with 223 staff, students, pupils and household members from four schools, one university, and one community healthcare NHS trust. The insights generated and informed the design and modification of the Southampton COVID-19 Saliva Testing Programme and the next phase of community-testing.ResultsDiscussions revealed that high levels of communication, trust and convenience were necessary to ensure people’s engagement with the programme. Participants felt reassured by and pride in taking part in this novel programme. They suggested modifications to reduce the programme’s environmental impact and overcome cultural barriers to participation.ConclusionsParticipants’ and stakeholders’ motivations, challenges and concerns need to be understood and these insights used to modify the programme in a continuous, real-time process to ensure and sustain engagement with testing over the extended period necessary. Community leaders and stakeholder organisations should be involved throughout programme development and implementation to optimise engagement.

FOREIGN STUDENTS SPEECH ADAPTATION TO PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

The article considers the issue of adaptation of foreign students to the language, sociocultural and everyday environment for further professional training in higher education institutions of other countries. Further integration of national economies into the global world economy creates the preconditions for the emergence of a global labor market, which in turn requires a significant number of professionals who can design and implement ambitious largescale projects. This requires a coordinated work, a high level of communication (especially speaking and communicative) to work in international multi teams. This has created a demand for professionals who have the appropriate training, regardless of the place of education, knowledge, skills and competencies, which require some unification, universalization and standardization at the national level. Further formation of the world global educational space. This requires a high level of communicative, linguistic and speech competences (knowledge of the language at the scientific level) of future students for their professional training outside their country, which needs the appropriate speech adaptation in a foreign language environment. To achieve this goal, it is proposed to carry out adaptation with the help of online (virtual) preparatory faculties (hereinafter – OVPF), which takes on all issues related to the adaptation of future foreign students in the new linguistic, scientific, sociocultural, everyday dimensions, as well as in further educational spheres (medical, humanitarian, physical-mathematical, linguistic, etc.). The introduction of the online (virtual) preparatory faculties makes it possible to adapt future foreign entrants / students at their homes. An important element of the preparatory faculties are local lore studies. At the same time, OVPF is proposed as a separate universal global educational product that can be placed on world educational platforms, portals and websites.
