Computer System for Converting Gestures to Text and Audio Messages

Today, there are quite a large number of deaf- mute and hard-of-hearing people which communicate using gestures. Therefore, it is simply necessary to provide them with modern means of communication with the surrounding world. This paper creates a holistic computer system architecture for converting gestures into text and audio messages. The principles of construction and basic design solutions of a computer system based on a modern element base with increased productivity and minimization of hardware costs and energy consumption have been developed. The most popular existing solutions for gesture recognition are considered and analyzed. The operation of the main components has been described, the principle of functioning of the entire system has been analyzed, and their advantages and disadvantages have been compared. The latest structural components for building a computer system (both physical and software) have been selected and investigated. Physical features include: the state-of-the-art Arduino Nano computing platform, the HC-05 Bluetooth module, the ADXL335 accelerometer, and the latest ZD10-100 Information sensor (flexibility sensor). Software features include: firmware for the Arduino Nano hardware platform, Python-based software for splitting the flow of letters into words, displaying them, and voicing them. The methods of Google Media Translation API and Google Text-to-speech (gTTS) have been analyzed. The expediency of conducting research has improved performance through the use of a new information sensor, which is a flexibility sensor ZD10-100 500 g. The general structural scheme of all systems has been designed.

Experience of using hydroactive wound dressings in outpatient practice

The modern tactics of conservative treatment of trophic ulcers and skin wounds imply the staged use of hydroactive wound dressings whose task is to activate and create optimal conditions for the natural regenerative process. This publication presents an actual clinical case of an effective sequential administration of hydroactive wound dressings HydroClean and HydroTac in a 76-year-old patient with a history of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Two weeks after discharge from the hospital for treatment of severe coronavirus infection (COVID-19) with 70% lung involvement, the patient developed a bubble filled with clear fluid on the anterior surface of the shin. A surgeon at the place of the residence opened the blister and administered occlusive dressings with povidone-iodine, as a result of which the wound surface was covered with a necrotic scab. The patient went to a specialized phlebology clinic due to deterioration of the wound condition and pronounced pain both at rest and during dressings. In order to remove necrotic tissues, a hydroactive dressing HydroClean was prescribed, which was fixed on the limb using cohesive bandage Peha-haft. The authors emphasize the high efficiency and safety of these hydroactive dressings, as well as the possibility of their use at home, which is especially relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic. This clinical case demonstrates the effectiveness of modern hydroactive wound dressings, the use of which in a short time allowed to close a large skin wound in a patient with an extremely negative comorbid background and demonstrates the possibility of remote management of treatment using modern means of communication.

TRANSFORMATION AND EXPANSION OF LIBRARY FUNCTIONS IN THE MODERN DIGITAL SPACE

The purpose of the article is to outline the processes of transformation of the main functions of a modern library in meeting the constantly growing information needs of users and strengthening the role of libraries in the context of the digitalization of society. The methodology is based on a set of general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, abstraction, generalization) and approaches (systemic, socio-communicative, and innovative), as well as the comparison and relationship of theory and practice. The scientific novelty of this work is to expand ideas about the role and functions of libraries and their impact on the development of modern society in the context of digitalization. Conclusions. Expanding its functions, the library is increasingly introducing new means of accessing, creating, and processing information, using digital technologies and modern means of communication. The analysis of library functions allowed us to determine the essential (basic) functions of a modern library in the conditions of transformational changes. Among them: information, communication. Scientific libraries are characterized by the expansion (transformation) of the traditional information function into information-analytical. Such derivative functions as educational, training, leisure, etc. acquire a certain strengthening in the activity of public libraries. Information and communication functions are also being strengthened, regardless of the type of library. Thus, today the activities of libraries are enriched by the content of information, communication, cultural, educational, leisure, and other functions, which promotes interaction with the environment, the establishment of democratic and humanistic principles of development, ensuring free access to information. Keywords: transformation, functions of libraries, information needs of users, digitalization, civil society.

Information Communication Technology Use Related Challenges and their Coping Strategies in Monastic Religious Life

The study attempted to investigate the challenges that the monastic religious encounter in the use of information communication technologies with reference to internet, mobile phones, computers/laptops and digital televisions; and their coping strategies, a case of the Missionary Benedictine Sisters of Tutzing (MBST) in Nairobi Priory, Kenya. The world today is witnessing tremendous changes and development in the information and communication technologies. However, there is scanty literature that addresses the challenges and the strategies that can be used by religious consecrated men and women, to cope up with the modern communication technologies effectively. The study employed sequential explanatory mixed methods. The target population included the perpetually professed sisters, junior sisters in the leadership team (superiors, formators and administrators) of the monastic religious congregation of the MBST Nairobi Priory, Kenya. Questionnaires, interviews and focus group discussion (FGD) were the instruments used to collect data. The findings of the study in which both the challenges and the strategies were presented in a 4-point Likert scale and respondents were asked to indicate their choices from; 4=Strongly agree, 3=Agree, 2=Disagree, 1=Strongly disagree revealed that: With the challenges the use of ICTs pose to the monastic lifestyle (community life and the evangelical counsels); majority of them in all the 14 challenges presented, agreed and strongly agreed to them. Likewise the interviews and FGD had similar experiences with the same challenges. The strategies for coping up with the challenges too showed similar responses to a greater extent in agreement. From the study it is clear that, as monastic religious, the MBST cannot not afford to be alien to the modern means of communication as they are the chief means of information and education, of guidance and inspiration. Since they are unavoidably embedded in daily life, the religious consecrated should use them conscientiously and responsibly to become a factor of humanization, which calls for a proper formation of conscience.

The shift of media processes to internet communication and computer-assisted language learning as a high-risk factor of inter-group interaction in applied linguistic space

The issue of inter-group social conflicts development is one of the most acute problems of modern society. Within the framework of this article (on the example of inter-ethnic interaction) there is considered the question of modern communication technologies in the field of inter-group interaction. The study proves that with the intensive development of modern means of communication, there takes place a significant intensification of social risks associated with inter-group conflicts (intensity of aggravation factors and increase in the scale of inter-group confrontations). At the level of inter-ethnic interaction, all that is primarily due to the negative stereotypes of different ethnic groups, as well as to the replication of negative interaction experiences in different ethnic groups (with an emphasis on ethnicity).

Employing artificial intelligence techniques as a mechanism for investigation, scrutiny, and detection of fake news and rumors

Modern communication means have imposed many changes on the media work in the different stages of content production, starting from gathering news, visual and editorial processing, verification and verification of the truthfulness of what was stated in it until its publication, so the changes that were stimulated by modern means and technologies and artificial intelligence tools have affected all stages of news and media production, since the beginning of the emergence of rooms. Smart news that depends on human intelligence and then machine intelligence, which has become forced to keep pace with the development in communication means, which has withdrawn in the various stages of production, and perhaps the most important of which is the process of investigation and scrutiny and the detection of false news and rumors in our current era, which has become the spread of information very quickly through the Internet and websites Social media and various media platforms

Metrological support of maintenance by the technical state of communication means

Modern and prospective communication means are among the most knowledge-driven, high-tech types of industrial products, which are subject to enhanced requirements for quality and efficiency of application. The effective functioning of modern communication means is provided by built-in software, including metrological support. In this paper, we consider the specifics of metrological maintenance of large-scale communication facilities (tens and hundreds of thousands of elements) consisting of separate subunits, the serviceability, maintenance, and recovery of which can be performed autonomously. It is proposed to enhance the efficiency of the by-state-maintenance (also called maintenance by the technical state) by accounting for the specifics of metrological support, establishing an optimal sequence of operations, selecting the measuring instruments in accordance with relevant requirements. To do this, one has to use a combined indicator composed of individual parameters of the tests and the probability of their preferred choice. This allows to assess the technical condition of the communication means with a given probability during a minimal time. In addition, one can estimate the time of maintenance, taking into account the metrological reliability and the probability of correct evaluation of the result of checking the parameters by the measuring instruments. The order of implementation of the obtained results is formalized in the form of an algorithm and an example of their realization is presented.

Perancangan Kartu Pos Fotografis "Malang at Night" Sebagai Alternatif Cindera Mata Kota Malang

There are various souvenirs to be chosen that consist of keychains, traditional crafts, postcards, t-shirts, stickers, etc. Postcard is one of many kinds of souvenirs. Through postcard that being sent to friends or relatives, people can show ‘proof’ that they have visited certain places. Today that activity isn’t longer popular because of more modern means of communication. However, postcards are still desirable as inexpensive souvenirs to be collected by tourists themselves or to be given to friends and relatives without sending it through postal service. There aren’t many variations of Malang City postcards. This is caused by postcards that labeled ‘Malang’ often show visual elements that exist in greater Malang area but not the Malang City itself. This effort to design postcard tries to make an alternatives for souvenirs of Malang City in general and also specifically an alternative postcards of Malang City.

THE ROLE OF INTERACTIVE MEDIA IN DEVELOPING INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS BETWEEN IRAQ AND CHINA

The technological revolution in the field of communication has contributed to the overcoming of geographic space and political boundaries, and new media has brought about a structural change in the quality of quantity and quality in the media. What is meant by new media simply are digital media in order to distinguish them from traditional (interactive), interactive (Internet) and networked (digital) media. We live in a new digital world in which communicative knowledge has increased, especially by boys and young men, and an interactive atmosphere has been created, as there are many media outlets, and the owners of messages have multiplied with them, and their media materials have varied, which include the chaff, the fat, the good, the bad, the truthful and the liar. Countries, researchers and specialists should search for the essence of these media in terms of form and content, especially in our Arab world which, unfortunately, is consumed and not innovated, and this is what makes us deepen the search for these means and know the content of the material they broadcast and verify their effects, the truth of those behind them, and determine the goals that They want to reach it, Shedding light on digital diplomacy and modern means of communication and its importance in political work and international relations is a very important issue, and how does it play this role? How can it be invested, and discover its ability to reach all segments of society

In Quest of Genocide Understanding: Multiple Faces of Genocide

The paper focuses on genocide and its multidimensional emanations. First, the authors present the definition of genocide and its types as elaborated by Lemkin (Axis rule in occupied Europe: laws of occupation, analysis of government, proposals for redress. Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Division of International Law, Columbia University Press, Washington, DC, New York, 1944): physical, political, social, cultural, economic, biological, religious, and finally moral genocide. Next, ten stages of genocide by Stanton (Genocide Watch, 2016) are scrutinized with some emphasis placed on the verbal issues enabling polarization and dehumanization. The authors point out that modern means of communication, ubiquitous nowadays, make it possible to dehumanize and discriminate against groups of people on an unprecedented scale. Therefore, hate speech and infodemic spread on the Internet, especially social media may be a skillfully used tool of lynch and genocide incitement.

The ABC of Primary Care for University Students: a 3-Step Structured Approach at Geneva University Hospitals

University and college students present specific health issues with vulnerabilities related to mental health and sexual health, risk-taking behaviors, and delayed access to primary care. A new student outpatient clinic was created in September 2016 at Geneva University Hospitals to respond to the health needs of this population. We present here the clinical management framework developed for a primary care consultation with students. A 3-step approach (ABC) was designed by expert consensus using different sources. A post-consultation satisfaction survey was conducted among students attending the clinic. The approach proposed 3 steps comprising general information, social evaluation, and preventive care. The importance of offering modern means of communication (online appointments, email exchanges with clinicians) was emphasized by experts. The question of cultural identity and connectedness was also addressed, especially for international students or those coming from a different Swiss region. In November 2018, a survey conducted among 128 patients out of 449 consultations showed that 94.5% agreed or totally agreed to recommend the consultation to fellow students, and 89% considered that care providers adequately addressed their specific student-related issues. A specific approach is needed in primary care for university/college students requiring particular competences across several domains. Our findings suggest that our approach is effective to cover the main health challenges faced by students. A comparison of the outcomes of this novel 3-step primary care consultation approach with non-structured approaches should be evaluated in future studies, including clinician’s satisfaction, elements of patient’s participation to governance, and medico-economic aspects.

COVID-19 and sonic governmentality: Can we hear the virus speak?

A virus is not only invisible; it is also inaudible. Alongside attempts to visualize COVID-19, this article inserts a sonic perspective to listen to encounters between authorities and populations during the pandemic in China. The article examines how sound (mal)functions to mediate, interpellate, and distribute authority and power in the name of national health and safety. We will concentrate on the use of sirens and loudspeakers. First, at 10 a.m. on 4 April 2020, sirens were sounded throughout the nation to mark an official National Day of Mourning (全民哀悼日). Second, to reach places not readily accessible by more modern means of communication, rural leaders resorted to loudspeakers to announce virus-related messages to offline populations. Our curiosity about the sonic element was piqued. At the same time, we were reminded of ocularcentrism – the tendency or the bias to place the visual at the centre of inquiry. We argue for the need to engage with sonic practices and politics, and to foreground sound as a tool of governmentality. We want to document how certain instances of sonic governmentality played out in China during the pandemic. Finally, this inquiry should help us explore possible avenues for future research on sound and politics.
