Increasing Interest in Dental and Oral Health Through Pop Up Castle Media as an Effort to Prevent The Spread of Caries Among School Children

Early childhood is the most appropriate time to instill values to instill positive behavior in children. Prevention of caries in children needs to be instilled early on seeing the impact of caries which can interfere with chewing function which leads to a lack of nutritional intake received by children. Prevention of caries can be done by maintaining dental health, one of which is done by brushing teeth. By brushing your teeth, you can maintain the cleanliness and strength of your teeth, but the wrong way of brushing cannot maximize oral hygiene. Therefore, knowledge of how to brush teeth properly and correctly is needed, in order to improve the quality of oral hygiene to the maximum. Making innovative media is very useful for increasing knowledge and attracting school-age children to pay attention to oral health. The author makes media in the form of a popup castle as an effort to prevent rampant caries in school-age children so that this media can make it easier for school-age children to understand efforts to maintain oral health. Objective: To describe the increase in school-age children's interest in maintaining oral health and hygiene by using castle popup media. Methods: The method we use in this counseling is game-based learning. The game method that we use is also based on the media that we offer in the form of a pop-up castle where in this media there are several materials including foods that are good for dental health and how to brush teeth properly and correctly and the right time to brush teeth. The game that we apply aims to review the material that has been explained during counseling. Results: 1) There is an increase in the knowledge of fourth grade students of SD Islam Maryam about oral health. 2) There is an increase in the interest of school-age children in maintaining oral health and hygiene by using castle popup media. 3) There is an improvement in the oral health status and behavior (knowledge, attitudes and actions) of elementary school students so that it can support general health. 4) This counseling activity is effective because it uses castle pop up media with a predetermined design and dental phantom so that the message conveyed can be understood by the target. 5) The final report and article will be included as a scientific publication in an accredited journal after the service. 6) The weakness of this activity is that it does not use other conventional counseling as a comparison.

Structural rearrangement of the network system from an efficiency perspective: A silver lining of profit improvement

Previous studies on profit improvement mainly consider improving traditional profit efficiency including the technical, allocative, and price profit efficiencies. Few studies discuss profit improvement by optimizing the structural arrangement of the network system, which is about adjusting the combinations of upstream and downstream entities in the system. When achieving traditional efficiency, the system's profit can no longer be increased only by reducing inputs, increasing outputs, and adjusting prices. In this situation, structural rearrangement may provide a silver lining to profit improvement. In this study, we take the two-level supply chains as an example and address the research question of how to improve profit via structural rearrangement of the system containing several two-stage subsystems from the efficiency perspective. To answer this question, we view two-stage subsystems in each system as players and propose a data envelopment analysis permutation game method. Through this method, we find the optimal structural rearrangement plan, which is a new way to further improve the profit in addition to improving traditional profit efficiency. We propose a new efficiency measurement, the structural profit efficiency, and find overall profit efficiency is the product of structural profit efficiency and traditional profit efficiency. Finally, we conduct an experiment using the data of 27 supply chains to validate our proposed method and provide the optimal structural rearrangement plans for them.

Attack–Defense Confrontation Analysis and Optimal Defense Strategy Selection Using Hybrid Game Theoretic Methods

False data injection attacks are executed in the electricity markets of smart grid systems for financial benefits. The attackers can maximize their profits through modifying the estimated transmission power and changing the prices of market electricity. As a response, defenders need to minimize expected load losses and generator trips through load and power generation adjustments. The selection of strategies of the attacking and defending sides turns out to be a symmetric game process. This article proposes a hybrid game theory method for analyzing the attack–defense confrontation: firstly, a micro-grid-based power market model considering false data injection attacks is established using the Nash equilibrium method; secondly, the attack–defense game function is constructed and solved via the Stackelberg equilibrium algorithm. The Markov game algorithm and distributed learning algorithm are used to update equilibrium function; finally, a dynamic game behavior model of the two players is constructed through simulating the attack–defense probability. The evolutionary game method is used to select the optimal defense strategy for dynamic probability changes. Modified IEEE standard bus systems are illustrated to certify the effectiveness of the proposed model.

Measuring an artificial intelligence language model’s trust in humans using machine incentives

Will advanced artificial intelligence (AI) language models exhibit trust toward humans? Gauging an AI model’s trust in humans is challenging because—absent costs for dishonesty—models might respond falsely about trusting humans. Accordingly, we devise a method for incentivizing machine decisions without altering an AI model’s underlying algorithms or goal orientation and we employ the method in trust games between an AI model from OpenAI and a human experimenter (namely, author TJ). We find that the AI model exhibits behavior consistent with trust in humans at higher rates when facing actual incentives than when making hypothetical decisions—a finding that is robust to prompt phrasing and the method of game play. Furthermore, trust decisions appear unrelated to the magnitude of stakes and additional experiments indicate that they do not reflect a non-social preference for uncertainty.

A Repeated Game-Based Distributed Denial of Service Attacks Mitigation Method for Mining Pools

A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is a prevalent issue in the blockchain network layer, causing significant revenue loss for honest mining pools. This paper introduces a novel method, the Repeated Game-based DDoS attack mitigation (RGD), to address this problem. Unlike traditional methods such as game theory and machine learning-based detection, the RGD method can effectively reflect the changes in mining revenue and strategies under different network-strength environments. In particular, we abstract the problem of DDoS mining pool revenue loss into a game revenue model and propose the subgame perfect equilibrium (SPE) approach to solve the optimal payoffs and pool strategies in various network environments. Furthermore, we address the returns of mining pools in an infinitely repeated game environment using the Two-Stage Repeated Game (TSRG) method, where the strategy varies with different network environments. The Matlab experimental simulation results indicate that as the network environment improves, the optimal mining strategies of mining pools are gradually shifting from honest strategies to launching DDoS attacks against each other. The RGD method can effectively represent the impact of changes in the network environment on the mining pool’s strategy selection and optimal revenue. Consequently, with the changing network environment, the optimal revenue of the mining pool only increases by 10% of the revenue loss during a DDoS attack.

The effect of escape room clinical evaluation method on satisfaction, learning, and preparedness to practice as interns of nursing students: A quasi-experimental quantitative study.

Clinical evaluation utilizing the escape room game is recognized as a novel method for assessing the team-oriented performance of learners. It is a tool for evaluating teamwork skills in clinical settings, which can boost student motivation and learning. This study aimed to investigate the effect of clinical evaluation through escape rooms and feedback provision through the PEARLS (promoting excellence and reflective learning in simulation) approach on pre-internship nursing students' satisfaction, learning, and preparedness to practice as interns. The current research is a quasi-experimental quantitative study conducted with a census sample of 42 sixth-semester undergraduate nursing students in 2022. The escape room method was utilized to evaluate entry preparedness into the clinical field. Reliable and valid researcher-made questionnaires were administered to assess the impact of the intervention on learning, satisfaction, and preparedness. The data were analyzed in SPSS version 26 using descriptive and inferential tests. The significance level was considered to be less than 0.05. Twenty-six males and 16 females constituted the 42 participants (mean age: 23.46 years). The clinical evaluation method of the escape room game was deemed satisfactory or highly satisfactory by 80% of students. From the perspective of 72% of students, escape rooms were definitely or highly effective in shaping their preparedness to enter the clinical field. Comparing the students' mean learning scores (self-assessment of clinical skills) before and after the test revealed that their post-test scores (55/16 ± 13/33) were significantly higher than their pre-test scores (45/58 ± 16/58) (P < 0.001). It appears that using the escape room evaluation method in conjunction with other student evaluation methods has helped improve students' interpersonal communication, problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and teamwork. The experience of working in a group not only improves these skills and is enjoyable to students but can also enhance their learning. Clinical education is dependent on teamwork. The escape room test can be viewed as a valuable tool for encouraging students to collaborate as a team. Therefore, it is suggested that students in all medical education groups be evaluated clinically using this test.

Optimal Evolution Strategy for Continuous Strategy Games on Complex Networks via Reinforcement Learning.

This article presents an optimal evolution strategy for continuous strategy games on complex networks via reinforcement learning (RL). In the past, evolutionary game theory usually assumed that agents use the same selection intensity when interacting, ignoring the differences in their learning abilities and learning willingness. Individuals are reluctant to change their strategies too much. Therefore, we design an adaptive strategy updating framework with various selection intensities for continuous strategy games on complex networks based on imitation dynamics, allowing agents to achieve the optimal state and a higher cooperation level with the minimal strategy changes. The optimal updating strategy is acquired using a coupled Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation by minimizing the performance function. This function aims to maximize individual payoffs while minimizing strategy changes. Furthermore, a value iteration (VI) RL algorithm is proposed to approximate the HJB solutions and learn the optimal strategy updating rules. The RL algorithm employs actor and critic neural networks to approximate strategy changes and performance functions, along with the gradient descent weight update approach. Meanwhile, the stability and convergence of the proposed methods have been proved by the designed Lyapunov function. Simulations validate the convergence and effectiveness of the proposed methods in different games and complex networks.
