Pressure chamber fault diagnosis model design based on segmented control and adaptive fuzzy neural network

With the advent of the information age, the evolution of aerospace technology has rendered high-altitude flights increasingly common and vital. Nonetheless, the fault diagnosis of the pressure chamber, a crucial aspect of ensuring flight safety, remains an urgent challenge. The integration of segmented control technology in this domain further augments system stability and safety. This paper introduces a fault diagnosis model using EWTLM-FNN framework for monitoring and analyzing the state of the pressure chamber. The EWTLM-FNN framework commences with denoising and filtering of barometric pressure monitoring data to eliminate noise interference, followed by the extraction of frequency-domain modal information using the empirical wavelet transform (EWT). Subsequently, a three-layer Long Short-Term Memory Network conducts a profound analysis of the time and frequency domain features. The extracted features are then input into a fuzzy neural network (FNN) for fault identification and diagnosis, thus achieving high-precision monitoring of pressure chamber faults. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed EWTLM-FNN framework exhibits superior fault diagnosis performance across multiple barometric pressure monitoring datasets, achieving over 90% diagnostic accuracy on the self-constructed pressure chamber fault dataset, and surpassing all indices compared to traditional machine learning and single deep learning models, thereby providing a theoretical and methodological foundation for future aircraft pressure fault diagnosis.

“It's not really talked about as often as it should be”: Gracie Gold and media coverage of athlete mental health

In 2017, Olympic figure skater Gracie Gold shocked the nation by announcing that she was stepping away from the sport to seek treatment for mental health issues. This paper evaluates the ways by which journalists framed Gold’s mental health struggles. As one of the first athletes to speak out about her anxiety, depression and experiences with body image in the digital age, Gold is a worthwhile case study. Through a textual analysis of 51 articles, we found that media coverage was generally positive and framed Gold as a role model for speaking out about her mental health struggles. Specifically, coverage praised Gold for being an advocate for better mental health resources for athletes, increasing the visibility of mental health issues, helping to redefine Olympic success, and exemplifying the search for purpose outside of sports. However, coverage sometimes discussed mental health issues in ways that reinforced stereotypes. Particularly relevant is that many of these stereotypes were grounded in notions of Whiteness and femininity. This study indicates a correlation between the growing acceptance of discussion of athlete mental health, in line with larger societal attitudes, and resulting media coverage. It also points to ways by which Gold’s race and gender factor into this the frames journalists chose to employ.

A cross-sectional study of policies from American medical organizations about public communications from physicians in the digital age

As a professional duty, physicians are often required to publicly comment on health-related topics. However, ethical complexities can arise during discussions about high-profile individuals or events, especially in an era of rapid news cycles and digital media. The American Medical Association (AMA) has policies concerning physician commentary and media interactions, as does the American Psychiatric Association (i.e., the Goldwater Rule). Nevertheless, the extent to which other United States medical associations have adopted similar protocols remains underexplored. Focusing on non-psychiatric members of the AMA’s policymaking body, the Federation of Medicine (FMMs), this study sought to analyze cross-speciality perspectives. Between January-March 2024, online resources for N = 122 FMMs were reviewed (e.g., professional codes and position statements), followed by email outreach to verify positions and garner further insights. n = 47 FMMs provided sufficient information for inclusion, cumulatively representing approximately 950,000 members. n = 16 FMMs (34%) had guidelines or policies regarding public commentary, generally emphasizing accuracy, consent, and confidentiality. Yet, for the majority of FMMs (n = 31/66%), no specific regulations were identified; these organizations did not cite any proprietary statutes or deferred to AMA materials. Moreover, existing FMM policies largely overlooked the impact of Artificial Intelligence and digital misinformation, warranting cross-specialty exchanges to uphold credible discourse amid societal and technological shifts.

The Impact of Social Media on Children’s Mental Health: A Systematic Scoping Review

Background: In the digital age, safeguarding children’s mental health (CMH) has emerged as one of the most pressing challenges. The rapid evolution of social media (SM) from a basic networking platform to a multifaceted tool has introduced numerous conveniences. However, it has also posed significant challenges to children’s mental well-being. Methods: Given the intricate relationship between the widespread use of SM and mental health issues in children, this study conducted a systematic scoping review to examine the literature on the impact of SM on CMH from 2014 to 2024. Literature searches were performed across five databases (Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Scopus, PubMed, and APA PsycInfo), and the retrieved studies were screened, extracted, and analyzed by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Extension for Scoping Review (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. Results: The review identified a complex relationship between SM use and CMH. Different SM platforms exhibited varying effects on children. Frequent SM use was strongly associated with lower self-esteem, depressive symptoms, anxiety, and other mental health challenges in children. Conversely, moderate use of SM facilitated social interactions and emotional expression, which may have a positive influence on mental health. Additionally, factors such as social support from family and school were found to play a critical role in mitigating the negative effects of SM on CMH. Conclusions: To enhance CMH, it is essential to guide children in the appropriate use of SM, promote awareness of privacy protection, and ensure adequate family and social support. Future research should further investigate the specific mechanisms underlying SM use and its differential effects on children across varying age groups and regions.

Is Vertebral Artery Injury After Blunt Cervical Spine Trauma an Incidental Finding?

Retrospective cohort study. To understand the associations between vertebral artery injury (VAI) and adverse events in patients sustaining blunt cervical spine trauma. To date, the impact of VAI on adverse events, and by extension, clinical outcomes has been extracted from small patient cohorts and have not allowed definitive conclusions. Adult patients with cervical vertebral, ligamentous, or neurological trauma in the National Trauma Data Bank from 2016 to 2017 were included in the study. Demographic information (age, sex, and race), injury-specific information (mechanism, severity), patient health information, and presence of a VAI were collected as explanatory variables. Response variables included development of adverse events [DVT/PE, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, hemorrhage, or neurological deficit] length of stay (LOS) and unplanned ICU admission or surgical procedure. Multivariable regression was used to calculate the risk-adjusted effect of vertebral artery injury on the presence of adverse and unplanned events as well as its relationship with LOS. Totally, 128,908 patients with cervical trauma were reviewed, of which 5300 had VAI. Of the patients with VAI, 187 (3.5%) patients had a MI, 156 (2.9%) had a PE/DVT, 196 (3.7%) had a stroke, 1392 (26.3%) had neurological injury, and 443 (8.4%) had an unplanned operative procedure or ICU admission. After risk-adjustment, VAI was associated with a >2-fold increased risk of increased LOS and ICU LOS (P<0.001), as well as greater than a 2-fold increased risk of MI, PE/DVT, stroke, and neurological injury (P<0.001). Our study documented a higher rate of concomitant VAI in blunt cervical trauma than previously reported. VAI is a hallmark of a more severe or higher energy mechanism of injury and is associated with increased adverse events and LOS in the hospital/ICU. In addition, these data suggest that, in older patients, concomitant VAI is associated with adverse outcomes independent of mechanism of injury. Step II-diagnostic study.

Evaluation of Digital Games with Historical Narrative within the Scope of Virtual Museum

With the invention of computer and internet technologies, a new cultural paradigm of living has been established. This culture started to manifest itself across various platforms within the digital world. Major museums around the globe have created virtual museums in digital environments to exhibit their collections to a worldwide audience. These three-dimensional virtual museums, primarily designed for informational purposes, lack interactive features. As stated by ICOM (International Council of Museums) virtual museums are classified into three types: brochure, content, and educational. In these virtual spaces, there is no direct interaction. However, the most advanced environment to exhibit history and art at a higher level to audiences is digital games. Far from being purely entertainment-driven, these digital platforms exhibit significant cultural reflections, attracting millions of users globally. Among the many subgenres of digital games, those rooted in history, mythology, and culture can be considered digital museums or even prospective archives. This study aims to compare such historically inspired games, which authentically reflect the cultural and artistic elements of their respective periods and allow detailed exploration, with virtual museums. It will examine whether these games can be evaluated within the scope of virtual museums. Ultimately, this study argues for a re-evaluation of the scientific perspective on digital games in the context of the current digital age.

Unnominated Nominees and Digital Legacies: Evaluating India’s Legal Framework for Postmortem Privacy and Proposing Comprehensive Reforms

In an era where our lives are increasingly intertwined with digital technology, what happens to our digital identities and personal data after we pass away? This paper delves into the pressing issue of postmortem privacy in India, exploring the legal and ethical complexities that arise in managing personal data after death. With the rise of digital assets, such as government documents stored on platforms like Digilocker and personal information on social media, the need for a comprehensive regulatory framework is more critical than ever. Focusing on the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP), the research highlights its inadequacies in addressing the intricacies of digital asset management, particularly in cases where individuals have not designated a nominee. This lack of clear guidelines leaves sensitive information vulnerable, potentially resulting in disputes among surviving family members over access and control of digital legacies. Additionally, the paper examines international frameworks, such as the RUFADA Act from the USA, drawing parallels and insights that could inform reforms in the Indian context. By critically analyzing existing legislation and proposing necessary legal reforms, this study advocates for a robust framework that safeguards individuals’ digital legacies and upholds their privacy rights posthumously. Ultimately, this research seeks to contribute to the evolving discourse on digital rights and privacy, emphasizing the urgency of developing effective regulatory measures to navigate the complexities of our digital lives in the age of information.

The Future of Hadith Studies in the Digital Age: Opportunities and Challenges

In this study that we have conducted, which is concerned with the digital progress in the study of Hadith science, which is related to Islamic studies, with a focus on the social and religious opportunities and challenges that this shift from ancient studies to a new type of studies in Hadith science brings, we begin our study by providing an overview of the religious and historical importance as well as the scientific importance of one of the most important Islamic sciences, which is Hadith science in Islamic studies. This study indicates the potential of digital technology in reshaping the traditional methodology of Hadith science. In this research paper, we will discuss the benefits that digital technology offers, especially in preserving ancient manuscripts that contain Prophetic hadiths and facilitating access to comprehensive databases, i.e. facilitating the researcher’s access to a huge number of hadiths and using artificial intelligence to analyze the complex networks of narrators and classifying hadiths according to their sources. This research also addresses the challenges facing the development of Hadith science between the past and the present, i.e. between the digitization of Hadith science and the old methods used in transferring and studying Hadith science, such as preserving the accuracy of texts when converting them from the paper system to the digital system, as well as the potential challenges in designing algorithms and ethical issues related to digital interpretations of modern texts or Hadith texts. This research paper also emphasizes the need to develop standards that include guarantees for trust, authenticity and honesty, and it addresses the social impacts resulting from the spread of hadiths via social media over the Internet, which may lead to misuse of these tools or misinterpretations of hadiths or by publishing unverified hadiths. In the future vision of this research paper, we envision this study as an integration between the traditional style in the science of hadith and modern technology and digital tools used in the science of Islamic hadith. It also contributes to establishing research networks and enhancing cooperation between hadith scholars and scholars in the digital technology system. At the end of the research paper, we analyzed a comparison between traditional and digital styles, focusing on the weaknesses and strengths of each of these two approaches. In the end, the study shows the potential of digital innovation in developing the science of hadith, provided that this modern system is used with respect for scientific accuracy and ethical standards to avoid using it in unethical and unscientific ways.

Erasing The Past: The 'Right To Be Forgotten' In India - Progess, Pitfalls And Prospects

In the digital age, particularly with respect to the developing legal regime in India, the "Right to be Forgotten" has been fast emerging as an important concept in the broad related discourse on privacy. The paper explains how RTBF intersects with the principles of privacy and public interest in India. Founded in the GDPR , this concept has generated considerable debate in India, with privacy now being considered a fundamental right under the Constitution following Justice K.S. Puttaswamy vs. Union of India . Thus, the fine line that this paper throngs is between the right of erasure of one's digital footprint and societal needs of transparency, freedom of expression, and access to information by the public. Critical analysis with respect to the Indian Data Protection Bill, now the Data Protection Act , attempting to incorporate provisions of the RTBF, and juxtaposing the same with judicial pronouncements as well as comparative legal perspectives available in other jurisdictions is what this paper is about. From case law and statutory provisions to academic discourse, this paper tries to unpack the challenges and opportunities that the RTBF poses in the Indian legal system. More than anything else, it calls for a nuanced approach, aware of individual privacy but equally sensitive to public interest, to finally leave its imprint on the lingering debate about data protection in India.
