Political Campaigns’ Use of E-mail vs. Television Advertising

This research explores how political campaigns use e-mail and television advertising differently. The data consist of 267,675 television ad airings sponsored, and 2,164 e-mails sent, by the forty-seven U.S. Senate candidates who used both communication channels during the 2014 general election cycle. Major findings include that fundraising requests and get-out-the-vote messages were more commonly found in campaign e-mails than in television ads; that campaigns were more likely to use partisan appeals in their e-mails while they often used bipartisan appeals in their television ads; and that campaigns sometimes mentioned issues owned by the other party more frequently than their opponents did when using television ads whereas they tended to focus on issues owned by their party in their e-mails. Campaigns’ use of multiple communication channels within a single election cycle should be monitored more systematically and thoroughly.

Paramedic attitudes and experiences working as a community paramedic: a qualitative survey.

Community paramedicine (CP) is an extension of the traditional paramedic role, where paramedics provide non-acute care to patients in non-emergent conditions. Due to its success in reducing burden on hospital systems and improving patient outcomes, this type of paramedic role is being increasingly implemented within communities and health systems across Ontario. Previous literature has focused on the patient experience with CP programs, but there is lack of research on the paramedic perspective in this role. This paper aims to understand the perspectives and experiences, both positive and negative, of paramedics working in a CP program towards the community paramedic role. An online survey was distributed through multiple communication channels (e.g. professional organizations, paramedic services, social media) and convenience sampling was used. Five open-ended questions asked paramedics about their perceptions and experiences with the CP role; the survey also collected demographic data. While the full survey was open to all paramedics, only those who had experience in a CP role were included in the current study. The data was qualitatively analyzed using a comparative thematic analysis. Data was collected from 79 respondents who had worked in a CP program. Three overarching themes, with multiple sub-themes, were identified. The first theme was that CP programs fill important gaps in the healthcare system. The second was that they provide paramedics with an opportunity for lateral career movement in a role where they can have deeper patient connections. The third was that CP has created a paradigm shift within paramedicine, extending the traditional scope of the practice. While paramedics largely reported positive experiences, there were some negative perceptions regarding the slower pace of work and the "soft skills" required in the role that vary from the traditional paramedic identity. CP programs utilize paramedic skills to fill a gap in the healthcare system, can improve paramedic mental health, and also provide a new pathway for paramedic careers. As a new role, there are some challenges that CP program planners should take into consideration, such as additional training needs and the varying perceptions of CP.

Communication in disasters to support families with children with medical complexity and special healthcare needs: a rapid scoping review.

Disasters can disrupt normal healthcare processes, with serious effects on children who depend upon regular access to the health care system. Children with medical complexity (CMC) are especially at risk. These children have chronic medical conditions, and may depend on medical technology, like feeding tubes. Without clear, evidence-based processes to connect with healthcare teams, families may struggle to access the services and supports they need during disasters. There is limited research about this topic, which has been pushed forward in importance as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors therefore conducted a rapid scoping review on this topic, with the intention to inform policy processes. Both the peer-reviewed and gray literatures on disaster, CMC, and communication were searched in summer 2020 and spring 2021. Twenty six relevant articles were identified, from which four main themes were extracted: 1. Cooperative and collaborative planning. 2. Proactive outreach, engagement, and response. 3. Use of existing social networks to connect with families. 4. Return to usual routines. Based on this review, good practices appear to involve including families, professionals, other stakeholders, and children themselves in pre-disaster planning; service providers using proactive outreach at the outset of a crisis event; working with existing peer and neighborhood networks for support; employing multiple and two-way communication channels, including social media, to connect with families; re-establishing care processes as soon as possible, which may include virtual connections; addressing mental health issues as well as physical functioning; and prioritizing the resumption of daily routines. Above all, a well-established and ongoing relationship among children, their caregivers, and healthcare teams could reduce disruptions when disaster strikes.

IoT Based Flood Monitoring and Alerting System

Abstract: In the era of rapid technical advancements, the convergence of Internet of Things (IOT) technology and environmental monitoring has paved the way for groundbreaking solutions that address critical challenges faced by communities worldwide. Among these challenges, the increasing frequency and severity of flooding events have spurred the development of advanced flood monitoring and alerting systems. One such cutting-edge solution is the IOT based Flood Monitoring and Alerting System, a trans-formative approach that harnesses the power of interconnected devices and real-time data analysis to mitigate the impact of flooding and enhance disaster preparedness. Floods pose a significant threat to lives, property, and the environment. Timely detection and rapid response are essential to mitigate the impact of floods. In this context, we present an IOT based Flood Monitoring and Alerting System designed to provide early warning, real-time monitoring, and data-driven insights for effective flood management. Our system leverages Internet of Things (IOT) technologies to collect data from various sensors distributed across flood-prone areas. These sensors continuously monitor environmental conditions and transmit data securely to a central server or Thing speak cloud platform. Through advanced data analytic and predictive modeling, our system forecasts potential flood events, assesses their severity, and triggers automated alerts when predefined thresholds are exceeded. The alerts generated by our system are delivered through multiple communication channels, such as SMS, mobile apps, ensuring that residents, emergency services, and local authorities receive timely and accurate information. This enables proactive decision-making and coordinated responses, including evacuation and asset protection measures

NOMA-based retrodirective frequency diverse array for multi-user communication

Frequency Diverse Array (FDA) and retrodirective array have found applications in wireless communication networks, offering cost-effective and efficient beamforming capabilities. In this paper, a novel concept of the retrodirective frequency diverse array (RFDA) is introduced, which empowers each array element to handle multiple communication channels, thereby enabling support for multiple users. This is made possible by utilizing the non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) scheme. The antenna elements are organized in a uniform circular array configuration. The system supports the multitude of users by assigning them into distinct clusters based on the serving antenna and then allocating transmit power to each user based on their respective channel conditions and distances from the base station. Consequently, efficient schemes for user clustering and power allocation tailored to the NOMA-RFDA system are developed. As a result, multi-user connectivity is achieved while maintaining low design costs. The simulation outcomes affirm that the proposed system attains superior performance in terms of both data rate and energy efficiency when compared to similar reference schemes.

Where do parties talk about what? Party issue salience across communication channels

Political parties address the public through multiple communication channels simultaneously, but this is not reflected in contemporary research. It is largely unclear how party competition plays out across different communication channels and whether issue salience strategies depend on the channel used. In order to answer this question, this article trains a state-of-the-art language model (BERT) on labelled manifestos and applies it for cross-domain topic classification of press releases, parliamentary speeches and tweets from parties and individual party members in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. The results show that certain channel characteristics influence parties’ issue salience. The extent to which a party addresses its issue preferences (ideal agenda) is moderated by the degree of centralised communication (party vs. individuals) and the presence or absence of a pre-given agenda, whereas a channel’s primary audience (direct vs. mediated channel) plays a much smaller role than expected. These findings illustrate the complexity of party competition in contemporary multi-channel and hybrid media environments.

Internal Communication Strategies and Employee Engagement

Purpose: The general purpose of the study was to investigate internal communi8cation strategies and employee engagement.
 Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
 Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to political public relations. Preliminary empirical review revealed that the importance of effective internal communication strategies in fostering employee engagement is evident from numerous studies, which consistently highlight the positive association between transparent communication, two-way communication, leadership communication, and the use of multiple communication channels with higher levels of engagement. Leadership communication, particularly, plays a crucial role in shaping organizational culture and values, impacting employees' commitment to organizational goals. However, challenges such as information overload, language barriers, and discrepancies in communication effectiveness across departments exist. Addressing these challenges requires a multifaceted approach, including training programs and technology investment. Overall, this study underscores the significance of internal communication in enhancing engagement and organizational success, emphasizing the need for future research to explore specific strategies and emerging trends in different organizational contexts.
 Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Social Exchange theory, Self-Determination theory and Social Identity theory may be used to anchor future studies on internal communication strategies. The study offered key recommendations to enhance organizational practices and improve employee engagement. It emphasizes the importance of transparency, two-way communication, and effective leadership communication in fostering trust and collaboration among employees. Additionally, leveraging multiple communication channels, ensuring consistent messaging, and recognizing employee contributions are vital for promoting engagement and motivation. By implementing these recommendations, organizations can cultivate a positive work environment where employees feel valued, informed, and empowered to contribute to organizational success.

Consensus of Networked Multi-Agent Systems Operating Over Multiple Communication Channels

Consensus of Networked Multi-Agent Systems Operating Over Multiple Communication Channels

A generic node identification and routing algorithm in a distributed data acquisition platform: D-Matrix

Data acquisition (DAQ) systems are vital components in large-scale physics experiments. For communication, control and tracking purposes, all system components must be unambiguously identified. D-Matrix, as a generic distributed stream processing DAQ platform, accommodates various device connection methods, including networking, PCIe bus, point-to-point optical fiber links, etc. Although there are mature node identification solutions for each connection method individually, the uniform solution applicable to all connection methods remains crucial in a generic DAQ platform. D-Matrix abstracts a unified Multiple Point-to-Point transmission model (MPP model), supporting various physical connection methods and enabling multiple communication channels on a single physical link. Referring to the tree universal address system, a generic automatic node identification algorithm is proposed based on the MPP model. With simple configuration, this algorithm enables automatic node traversal, yielding a routing-based identification result that supports clustering and hierarchical node management requirements common in large-scale physics experiments. This paper explains the details of the algorithm and presents an example of the DAQ system based on the algorithm.

Assessment of Socioeconomic and Psychological Factors Predicting Health-Related Quality of Life among Primary Caregivers of Cancer Patients in Kakamega County

Context: Primary caregivers of cancer patients often suffer from impaired Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) due to stress arising from the responsibility of caregiving. Most studies conducted in Western populations have shown that increased caregiving burden was related to decreased mental and physical health and premature mortality among family caregivers. Therefore, the findings of those studies may not be directly applicable to the Kenyan population, especially Western Kenya, which has a different socio-cultural and ethnic background.
 Aim: This study sought to determine socioeconomic and psychological factors predicting the health-related quality of life among primary caregivers of cancer patients in Kakamega County.
 Methods: This was an institutional-based cross-sectional analytical study design. Kakamega County Referral Hospital was purposively sampled as it has a hospital with a western region cancer center. The sampling unit was caregivers of cancer patients seen in the hospital. The caregivers were systematically and randomly sampled from a list drawn from the Cancer Centre register of cancer patients, where the caregivers are captured as their treatment supporters, and each cancer patient is expected to have a caregiver. The sample size was 422 primary caregivers after calculation. The data collection tool was contracted from a QOL questionnaire, such as WHOQoL-BREF, developed to measure both objective and subjective dimensions of QOL, Personal Wellbeing scale, Herth Hope Index, and PHQ9/GAD-7 to assess psychological-related factors, which are more sensitive and have wider applicability.
 Results: Socioeconomic factors such as gender (p=0.007), type of area of residence (p=0.004), income in KSh (p=0.01), and number of rooms (p=0.0005) are significantly associated with perceived quality of life. Psychological-related factors like depression (p=0.001) and anxiety (p=0.002) are significantly associated with perceived quality of life. 
 Conclusion: The study concluded that socioeconomic and psychological factors of primary caregivers of cancer patients can predict the health-related quality of life of those caregivers. The study recommends that financial charges for cancer management be subsided as this could relieve caregivers' financial burden. Other family members should support primary caregivers financially and psychologically to ease the burden of the primary caregiver. Psychosocial support group networks should be established for caregivers through multiple communication channels, thereby reducing the mental and psychological burden experienced by caregivers.

Edge computing for Vehicle to Everything: a short review.

Vehicle to Everything (V2X) communications and services have sparked considerable interest as a potential component of future Intelligent Transportation Systems. V2X serves to organise communication and interaction between vehicle to vehicle (V2V), vehicle to infrastructure (V2I), vehicle to pedestrians (V2P), and vehicle to networks (V2N). However, having multiple communication channels can generate a vast amount of data for processing and distribution. In addition, V2X services may be subject to performance requirements relating to dynamic handover and low latency communication channels. Good throughput, lower delay, and reliable packet delivery are the core requirements for V2X services. Edge Computing (EC) may be a feasible option to address the challenge of dynamic handover and low latency to allow V2X information to be transmitted across vehicles. Currently, existing comparative studies do not cover the applicability of EC for V2X. This review explores EC approaches to determine the relevance for V2X communication and services. EC allows devices to carry out part or all of the data processing at the point where data is collected. The emphasis of this review is on several methods identified in the literature for implementing effective EC. We describe each method individually and compare them according to their applicability. The findings of this work indicate that most methods can simulate the EC positioning under predefined scenarios. These include the use of Mobile Edge Computing, Cloudlet, and Fog Computing. However, since most studies are carried out using simulation tools, there is a potential limitation in that crucial data in the search for EC positioning may be overlooked and ignored for bandwidth reduction. The EC approaches considered in this work are limited to the literature on the successful implementation of V2X communication and services. The outcome of this work could considerably help other researchers better characterise EC applicability for V2X communications and services.

Integrated Knowledge Translation in the Food and Nutrition Security for Manitoba Youth study

Abstract Background There are concerns that many children do not have healthy diets, which may be related to dietary choices as well as lack of access to healthy foods. The Food and Nutrition Security for Manitoba Youth (FANS) study examined diet, nutrition-related behaviours and food security of 1587 grade nine students in Manitoba, Canada. Results show that while one in five students were food insecure, almost all need significant dietary improvements. Engaging stakeholders through multiple communication channels is key to disseminating research outcomes to drive action for policy change. Methods Principles of integrated knowledge translation were followed, including a breadth of dissemination activities, to maximize impact of study results. These included diverse partnerships, academic and non-academic research outputs, and use of media. Results Study partners including academic co-investigators, school authorities, government agencies and non-profit organizations advocating for child nutrition contributed to study design, interpretation and dissemination. Results were published in academic journals, as well as translated into a suite of non-academic outputs including a community report, infographics (circulated on social media), and a searchable data dashboard, available through a web-based portal. This approach allows for tracking of research output downloads, which number over 500 to date. Due to active outreach to traditional media, study results received widespread attention adding to the breadth of knowledge translation methods employed. This also led to uptake by provincial health education curriculum developers. Results will also be circulated during an upcoming provincial election as part of engaging candidates around child nutrition and food security issues and policies. Conclusions This broad approach to integrated knowledge translation has resulted in extensive distribution of FANS study results and has potential to influence public health nutrition policy. Key messages • Integrated knowledge translation and a breadth of dissemination strategies in the FANS study has led to extensive distribution of research outputs and media coverage. • The FANS knowledge portal, with diverse academic and non-academic research outputs including a data dashboard, is strategic for public health nutrition promotion and advocacy.

Assessment of Communication as a Crucial Tool in Organizational Management

Communication is a vital tool in organizational management, as it helps employees understand the organization's mission, philosophy, and objectives. However, challenges such as the use of a chain or vertical channel, disregard for informal means, poor communication skills, illiteracy among junior workers, and inability to operate modern communication systems pose significant obstacles to effective communication. This paper recommends adopting multiple channels of communication, ensuring information flows vertically, horizontally, and laterally across the organization. Informal communication should be considered important and not relegated to the background. Regular training for management and staff is necessary to enhance performance and avoid incorrect interpretation of information. Lastly, management should avoid using high-sounding words when passing information to illiterate junior staff. Keywords: Communication, Organizations management, Employees

Designing a platform-based model of civic participation within the smart-city concept for post-war Ukrainian cities

The object of research is the concept of a smart city. The study considered the problem of interaction between local authorities and citizens in a smart city based on a platform approach. It was determined that the human-centric concept of a smart city involves representing the functions of the city government in the form of specific public services, the purpose of which is to satisfy the needs of citizens. Public participation and active citizenship are recognized as a key component of smart city development. The mechanisms of public participation in the smart city include information, consultations, discussions, public control of finances and joint funds. Multiple digital communication channels, including social networks, instant messengers, websites, e-mail, and various platforms for citizen appeals, could be used simultaneously to communicate through these mechanisms. This leads to a decrease in the effectiveness of interaction. As a result, information related to active public participation on official city websites is fragmented and often out of date. The scalable digital platform serves as a single environment for the exchange of information and resources between citizens and authorities and helps reduce the time and resources spent on organizing such communications. An example of the development of a digital service on the blockchain is given, implemented in the Bitbon decentralized information platform of Ukrainian origin. The practical application consists in ensuring broad citizen participation in filling funds and monitoring their financial transparency. The results of the implementation of platforms for the development of smart cities are organizing open data, encouraging stakeholders to participate in city management, developing innovative creativity and open dialog

Management of Mass-Casualty Incidents in Nepal: A Qualitative Case Study of Three District Hospitals in Nepal.

The frequency of disasters world-wide has significantly increased in recent years, leading to an increase in the number of mass-casualty incidents (MCIs). These MCIs can overwhelm health care systems, requiring hospitals to respond quickly and effectively, often with limited resources. While numerous studies have identified the challenges in managing MCIs and have emphasized the importance of hospital disaster preparedness, there is a research gap in the preparedness level and response capacities of district hospitals in Nepal. This study attempts to fill this gap by understanding the perception of hospital staff in managing MCIs in district hospitals of Nepal. A qualitative case study was conducted in three district hospitals in Nepal. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the hospital personnel, using an interview guide. An inductive thematic analysis was carried out to understand their perception on the most recent MCI management. Three themes emerged from the data analysis: enablers in MCI management, barriers in MCI management, and recommendations for the future. Use of multiple communication channels, mobilization of entire hospital teams, mobilization of police in crowd control, presence of disaster store, and pre-identified triage areas were the major enablers that facilitated successful MCI management. Nonetheless, the study also revealed challenges such as a lack of knowledge on MCI response among new staff, disruptions caused by media and visitors, and challenges in implementing triage. This study emphasized the importance of hospital disaster preparedness in managing MCIs and highlighted the significance of overcoming barriers and utilizing enablers for an efficient response. The findings of this study can provide the basis for the Ministry of Health and Population Nepal and district hospitals to plan initiatives for the effective management of MCIs in the future.

Academic library marketing in the post-COVID world

The COVID pandemic forced academic libraries to quickly and dramatically adjust their operations. This article explores how marketing in academic libraries was represented in the research and practitioner literature during the pandemic through an examination of articles published between March 2020 and March 2023 as compared to LIS marketing articles published in the three previous years (between March 2017 and February 2020). Marketing was selected as the lens through which to examine library and information science (LIS) articles because marketing strategies and techniques offer powerful insights into how libraries perceive themselves and the communities they serve. The 2017–2020A set included 165 articles, while the 2020B–2023 set contained 93 articles. These articles were inductively coded to identify marketing-related concepts and themes. The most common marketing themes from the per-pandemic article set were marketing strategies and planning, marketing methods, social media, outreach, and engagement. The most common marketing themes from the pandemic article set were social media, marketing strategies and planning, library instruction and orientations, marketing methods, and perceptions of libraries. The categories that experienced the largest levels of change between the two periods were engagement (a reduction of 12.67 % during the pandemic), marketing methods (a reduction of 11.75 % during the pandemic), marketing strategies and planning (a reduction of 10.75 % during the pandemic), outreach (a reduction of 9.11 % during the pandemic), and library instruction and orientations (an increase of 8.44 % during the pandemic). Recommendations for library marketing practice are provided based on this literature analysis including the use of multiple physical and digital communication channels when developing marketing strategies; the importance of continuing to market core operational services, especially during challenging times; the need for libraries to regularly review their engagement methods as the needs and behaviours of users shift; and that there are many ways in which the voice of the user and the effectiveness of library marketing activities may be captured.

Identifying the education, information and support needs of Canadians diagnosed with breast cancer: A Canadian Breast Cancer Network (CBCN) assessment project.

e13088 Background: Assessing the education, information and support needs of Canadians diagnosed with breast cancer involves categorizing and tailoring topics and methods of delivery but, most importantly, it must be rooted in an understating of the patient. In 2022, CBCN initiated a project to identify the needs of the Canadian breast cancer population and develop tailored, focused programs and materials. Methods: CBCN conducted a series of 45-minute key informant interviews (7) with patients and oncologists to determine needs, gaps, programs and materials. Five 90-minute patient focus groups (32 participants) were conducted to enhance the interviews. One group was specifically for metastatic patients. Findings from the interviews and focus groups were used to inform the questions for a survey which was fielded online May1/June 10, 2022. The data analysis began in September 2022 and is on-going. Results: A review of Canadian triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients’ responses (n=185 or 18.9% of respondents) showed that only 29.4% had heard the term TNBC before. When asked about educational resources on clinical, practical and support topics TNBC patients preferred them tailored to their breast cancer type (94.3%). TNBC patients reported difficulty locating resources (74.0%) and rated those available satisfactory to poor (44.6%). Sources included websites, social media and printed materials. Specific topics of interest were new treatments and latest research (66.2%), fear of recurrence (63.1%), prevention of illness after breast cancer (60.1%) and long term effects of treatment (57.4%). Conclusions: Public awareness of the types of breast cancer could promote a better understanding of the nature of the disease. Availability of multiple communication channels provides opportunities to disseminate and update resources and deliver them to the patients and providers. While information exists, identifying and increasing the availability of credible, reliable resources tailored to specific types of breast cancer that are easily accessible to both patients and clinicians could enhance the physician-patient dialogue, potentially improve adherence, promote trust and possibly contribute to improved outcomes.

Physician's Knowledge and Attitudes on Antibiotic Prescribing and Resistance: A Cross-Sectional Study from Hail Region of Saudi Arabia.

Antibiotic (AB) resistance is caused partly by overuse, varies by region, and is influenced by prescriber perspectives. This study sought to determine physicians' knowledge and attitudes toward AB prescribing, particularly in the Hail region of Saudi Arabia. An interdisciplinary team created and validated an electronic questionnaire via the test-retest method that measured reliability and consistency. The 19 questions covered the following subjects: demographic information (7), experience with AB resistance in daily work (3), AB prescribing behavior (2), communication with patients regarding AB resistance (3), and prescribing practices (4). The revised questionnaire was prepared and distributed to physicians in the Hail region via multiple electronic communication channels. Inferences were drawn based on descriptive statistics and multivariate regression analysis. The questionnaire responses of 202 participants were eligible for analysis. A total of 70 (34.80%) participants were general practitioners, 78 (38.12%) were engaged in daily work that was only mildly related to AB resistance, and 25 (12.37%) performed work that was substantially related to AB resistance. A total of 88 (43.56%) physicians believed that prescribing behavior contributed to the emergence of AB resistance, whereas 68 (33.66%) did not. Regarding exposure, 51 (25.24%) physicians reported encountering instances of AB resistance monthly, whereas 104 (51.48%) reported seeing cases of AB resistance very rarely. In terms of prescribing practices, 99 (49.0%) physicians prescribed ABs to patients daily and 73 (36.13%) weekly. Regarding AB-resistance-related communication with patients, 73 (36.13%) physicians frequently discussed AB resistance with patients suffering from infections, whereas 13 (6.4%) never discussed it with patients. General practitioners in the Hail region exhibited comprehensive awareness of the elements that contribute to AB resistance but only rarely communicated about the issue with their patients, presuming the latter to be oblivious to the science behind AB resistance. Our findings suggest that the features underlying practitioners' AB prescribing behavior could be a powerful strategy for lowering AB resistance.

Wearable patch with direction-aware sensitivity of in-plane force for self-powered and single communication channel based human-machine interaction

The merging of flexible technologies with human machine interaction (HMI) is now optimizing the way people communicates with electrical terminals. Compared with “press” and “strain”, “sliding” is a directional operation which requires the interface to identify the directions of the applied force for accurate interaction. Previous efforts that explore the “directional force” in HMI system are mainly based on sensor array, which brings concern of complex electrode design and multiple communication channels to prevent cross-talk. In view of this, we developed a self-powered and wearable HMI interface that can distinguish the axial directions of in-plane force based on Faraday’s law of induction. The interface consists of well-orientated magnetized micropillars, and a conductive coil that collects and transmits the electrical signals during the interaction process. When in-plane sliding force was applied, distinguishable signals were generated to reflect the different axial directions (+X/−X/+Y/−Y) according to the polarity and number of voltage peaks. With this unique behavior, the HMI process can be completed with two electrodes and one communication channel in an interference-free manner. Through the systematic optimization, the intrinsic oscillation from the micropillars results in obviously enhanced signals for a high accuracy and reliability towards real application. The MMPs-based interface was successfully established for HMI platforms such as intelligent robot control, and Morse code communication, etc. Owing to the robustness, humid resistance, accuracy and reliability, we expect that the interface design can inspire the development of flexible and wearable devices in HMI especially for scenarios that require a high command capacity.
