Understanding Olfactory Perception and its Significance in The Exploration of Sensescape Scenarios in Asian Cities

Researchers and designers have begun to devote more time and energy to studying urban escape scenarios because they know how important it is to comprehend the complex ways in which people perceive and interact with the built environment. Olfaction, the sense of scent, is an important part of this multimodal experience since it greatly influences how perceive and engage with the environment. The importance of smell is magnified in Asian urban settings since these places frequently offer a varied and varied sensory landscape, marked by a multitude of environmental, cultural, and gastronomic influences. Architects, urban planners, and legislators may develop more inclusive and responsive natural settings that cater to the multimodal demands of various people by understanding the function of olfactory perception in constructing the sensescape in these cities.

Risk Assessment of SF Food Cold Chain Logistics Based on Analytic Hierarchy Process

In recent years, people's demand for fresh fruits and vegetables for freshness, quality safety, and on-time performance is constantly increasing, and the risk factors existing in each link are also different. The risk of any link may affect the whole process of logistics can not be fully operated, or even directly cause the logistics service can not be completed.Therefore, it is very important to identify and analyze the risks of cold chain logistics from different perspectives.Based on the above considerations, through fully understanding the characteristics of cold chain logistics, this paper takes SF food cold chain logistics as an example, and analyzes the risk factors in cold chain logistics, including warehousing risk, technical risk, distribution risk and information risk.And using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to analyze and model the risk factors and calculate, the results show that the weight of warehousing risk factor and distribution risk factor is 0.3597 and 0.3120 respectively, which has the greatest impact on food cold chain logistics.Finally, the four risk factors of the model results are analyzed, and the risk control measures of SF food cold chain logistics are given.

Threats to Journalism Practice in South America Due to Lack of Trauma Literacy in Professional Training: Results of a Survey in Brazil and Colombia

This discussion is part of the work of the Research Group on Education in Journalism and Trauma (JETREG), focusing on the exposure of Brazilian and Colombian journalists to risks in the exercise of their profession. The article analyzes responses of 50 Brazilian and Colombian professors who participated in the web survey on traumatic coverage and the inclusion of this topic in journalism teaching. The method involves survey. The fact that in Colombia and Brazil most journalism schools are private results in avoiding talking about risks of traumatic situations that the profession involves, as this can affect the demand of young people who want to graduate for this job and have great impact on already offering and distributing dispersed classes in the curriculum. The study pointed: i) gender attacks; ii) coverage of human rights; and iii) attacks on press freedom.

A Right to Solidarity. World Ordering from the Margins through International Law?

Abstract In 2005, the United Nations (UN) created the Independent Expert on Human Rights and International Solidarity. The mandate holder works toward the establishment and promotion of the human right to solidarity. Usually, a right is regarded as something that people demand, and solidarity is something that people give regardless of legal obligations. Codifying solidarity in international law therefore seems paradoxical. Yet, as we show in this article, the initiative, driven by the G77, stands in a long tradition of attempts to transform the international order into a more just and equitable structure. We highlight its function as a possible means of world ordering from the margins. Through the voting power of a coalition of discontents—against the consistent resistance of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries—in the General Assembly/the Human Rights Council, the mandate holder can use their marginal position in the UN bureaucracy to update discourses about a just international order by altering legal discourses in pursuit of the right to solidarity.

Bio-Skin-Inspired Flexible Pressure Sensor Based on Carbonized Cotton Fabric for Human Activity Monitoring.

With the development of technology, people's demand for pressure sensors with high sensitivity and a wide working range is increasing. An effective way to achieve this goal is simulating human skin. Herein, we propose a facile, low-cost, and reproducible method for preparing a skin-like multi-layer flexible pressure sensor (MFPS) device with high sensitivity (5.51 kPa-1 from 0 to 30 kPa) and wide working pressure range (0-200 kPa) by assembling carbonized fabrics and micro-wrinkle-structured Ag@rGO electrodes layer by layer. In addition, the highly imitated skin structure also provides the device with an extremely short response time (60/90 ms) and stable durability (over 3000 cycles). Importantly, we integrated multiple sensor devices into gloves to monitor finger movements and behaviors. In summary, the skin-like MFPS device has significant potential for real-time monitoring of human activities in the field of flexible wearable electronics and human-machine interaction.

Assessment of oat (Avena sativa) varieties unveiled the variation in nutritional quality

The present study was carried out during 2022 at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab designed for the exploration and characterization of different oat varieties to understand their potential for physical, gravitational, functional, nutritional, and extraction of β-glucan parameters. All studied varieties showed variability in the grain and flour quality of oats. The preference of a variety based on nutritional and functional parameters contingent on this evaluation could help a satisfactory basis for future oat crop improvement plans for feed and food security. The current scientific intervention suggests that oat variety OL 1876-2 might be a suitable choice for β-glucan extraction due to its high content with promising nutritional and functional benefits. These findings may open a new avenue for further research on utilization of oats for food purpose that could cater the imminent demands of health conscious people.

Using telehealth for people at the end of life with chronic illness in Australia.

Traditional models of palliative care have been tested by the challenges of caring for increasing numbers of people at the end stages of a chronic non-malignant illness. The COVID-19 pandemic and consequent reliance on telehealth services, has enabled the development of creative models of care. To improve home-based palliative care for people with chronic illness using telehealth, and this was demonstrated using quality-of-life measures. A total of 35 non-cancer referrals to a community palliative care service were recommended for the pilot project, with one specialist palliative care nurse as their contact. All were offered a telehealth service with a specially designed app to self-monitor their symptoms, a session on advance care directives, and self-rated quality-of-life measures using the RAND 36-Item Health Survey (Version 1.0), consisting of 36 items that cover nine domains. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. Over the 21 months of the pilot study, 13 people chose to participate in the pilot. For participants, telehealth meant more control over their symptoms, fewer emergency presentations and appointment travel time was alleviated. Quality-of-life surveys highlighted physical impairments, which did not change over time. This pilot programme demonstrated an innovative approach to addressing the demands of people dying of chronic illness, with further work required to explore the place of telehealth consultations in the overall healthcare system.

Genome-wide association study for cashmere traits in Inner Mongolia cashmere goat population reveals new candidate genes and haplotypes

BackgroundThe cashmere goat industry is one of the main pillars of animal husbandry in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and plays an irreplaceable role in local economic development. With the change in feeding methods and environment, the cashmere produced by Inner Mongolia cashmere goats shows a tendency of coarser, and the cashmere yield can not meet the consumption demand of people. However, the genetic basis behind these changes is not fully understood. We measured cashmere traits, including cashmere yield (CY), cashmere diameter (CD), cashmere thickness (CT), and fleece length (FL) traits for four consecutive years, and utilized Genome-wide association study of four cashmere traits in Inner Mongolia cashmere goats was carried out using new genomics tools to infer genomic regions and functional loci associated with cashmere traits and to construct haplotypes that significantly affect cashmere traits.ResultsWe estimated the genetic parameters of cashmere traits in Inner Mongolia cashmere goats. The heritability of cashmere yield, cashmere diameter, and fleece length traits of Inner Mongolia cashmere goats were 0.229, 0.359, and 0.250, which belonged to the medium heritability traits (0.2 ~ 0.4). The cashmere thickness trait has a low heritability of 0.053. We detected 151 genome-wide significantly associated SNPs with four cashmere traits on different chromosomes, which were very close to the chromosomes of 392 genes (located within the gene or within ± 500 kb). Notch3, BMPR1B, and CCNA2 have direct functional associations with fibroblasts and follicle stem cells, which play important roles in hair follicle growth and development. Based on GO functional annotation and KEGG enrichment analysis, potential candidate genes were associated with pathways of hair follicle genesis and development (Notch, P13K-Akt, TGF-beta, Cell cycle, Wnt, MAPK). We calculated the effective allele number of the Inner Mongolia cashmere goat population to be 1.109–1.998, the dominant genotypes of most SNPs were wild-type, the polymorphic information content of 57 SNPs were low polymorphism (0 < PIC < 0.25), and the polymorphic information content of 79 SNPs were moderate polymorphism (0.25 < PIC < 0.50). We analyzed the association of SNPs with phenotypes and found that the homozygous mutant type of SNP1 and SNP3 was associated with the highest cashmere yield, the heterozygous mutant type of SNP30 was associated with the lowest cashmere thickness, the wild type of SNP76, SNP77, SNP78, SNP80, and SNP81 was associated with the highest cashmere thickness, and the wild type type of SNP137 was associated with the highest fleece length. 21 haplotype blocks and 68 haplotype combinations were constructed. Haplotypes A2A2, B2B2, C2C2, and D4D4 were associated with increased cashmere yield, haplotypes E2E2, F1F1, G5G5, and G1G5 were associated with decreased cashmere fineness, haplotypes H2H2 was associated with increased cashmere thickness, haplotypes I1I1, I1I2, J1J4, L5L3, N3N2, N3N3, O2O1, P2P2, and Q3Q3 were associated with increased cashmere length. We verified the polymorphism of 8 SNPs by KASP, and found that chr7_g.102631194A > G, chr10_g.82715068 T > C, chr1_g.124483769C > T, chr24_g.12811352C > T, chr6_g.114111249A > G, and chr6_g.115606026 T > C were significantly genotyped in verified populations (P < 0.05).ConclusionsIn conclusion, the genetic effect of single SNP on phenotypes is small, and SNPs are more inclined to be inherited as a whole. By constructing haplotypes from SNPs that are significantly associated with cashmere traits, it will help to reveal the complex and potential causal variations in cashmere traits of Inner Mongolia cashmere goats. This will be a valuable resource for genomics and breeding of the cashmere goat.

Influential Financial Planners and Islamic Financial Planning: A Social Media-Based Content Analysis

Financial planning has been increasingly significant where income levels are rising, the financial industry is becoming more complicated and financial products are becoming more complex. With higher income levels and fund excesses, people demand financial assistance services to manage their financial matters. The activities of financial planners continue to grow in line with the varying demand of customers. Conventional financial planning had developed during the 1970s, while the Islamic financial industry had just emerged. From an Islamic perspective, a financial planning framework would require Shariah-compliant products and services and a deep understanding of Islamic values and principles governing economic activities. This study aims to understand to what extent Islamic financial planning has been communicated and shared by financial planners/advisors and to understand their preferences and financial priorities in providing financial advice. This qualitative paper explores the social media of chosen financial planners and Islamic financial planners. Financial planners share their thoughts and ideas on their social media. Several influential financial planners were selected through some stages. Understanding their social media content will provide a picture of their financial planning. Discussion of Islamic financial planning is scant. The paper explores and offers a novel approach of whether financial planners and so-called Islamic financial planners have different financial planning. Using the particular framework of Islamic financial planning, Islamic financial planners are expected to have different financial planning emphasizing Islamic values and principles.

ڕۆڵی كولتوری سیاسی له‌ به‌رهه‌ڵستیكردنی گۆڕانی سیاسیدا توێژینه‌وه‌یه‌كی ڕه‌خنه‌یی شیكارییه‌

This study has tried to analyze the role of political culture in resistance to political change. It is the basic goal of the study to identify, how political culture could leave a negative impact on the political change process? is political culture has an unchangeable form to do this role at any time? To this end, the research uses appropriate methods. The method that has been used is the inductive method. The result that the study obtained, is, political culture can resist political change, and is not a static concept, does not change according to time and place, but a variable one, and in interaction with the political system and society. Political culture has many forms, and each of which has its ability that distinguished it from others, in other words, each of them has its influence on a specific society. In general, this factor could be opposite to political change in any political system, particularly in dictatorial and quasi-democratic systems, in which some values and norms are imposed itself that violate people's demands and freedom. Also In this circumstance, the new media and social networks could have their effect on political culture and share in this resistance.

Mapping the Demand for Ecosystem Services in Human-Dominated Topical Forest of Sabah, Malaysia

Mapping the demand for ecosystem services (ES) is a profoundly debated research topic that needs to be investigated further to overcome spatial discrepancies between supply and demand in the literature. This study proposes a holistic approach to valuing ES, which is demanded by local people living adjacent to Sabah’s protected area in the southwestern part of Sabah, Malaysia. To assess the local people's demand for ecosystem services, we applied the 'ES Matrix Assessment' method. Timber, global climate regulation, recreation, and ecotourism are selected to illustrate the changes in ES demand patterns reported in the Klias Peninsula region. To identify the ES required by local people based on land-cover type, we used a weighted arithmetic mean approach. Then, using multiple regressions, we identified socio-demographic characteristics that influence demand for ES obtained from the Klias Peninsula's tropical forest. The 6-point Likert scale results showed that timber received medium (3) to highly relevant demand (4) among local people in the forest ecosystem, while climate regulation demand was the most highly relevant demand (5) in the forest ecosystem, and recreation and ecotourism are highly demanded in the forest ecosystem and water-based area. Overall, ethnicity, source(s) of income, distance from the protected area, length of residence, and education level have influenced the population's perception of ecosystem service demand in peat swamp forest, mangrove, and forest land, and these factors are statistically significant at the 1% to 5% levels. Our approach possesses the advantage of being intuitively straightforward, making it easy to convey to stakeholders and decision-makers across various ecosystem service (ES) applications. Therefore, our approach, while relatively simple, remains realistic and easy to apply, effectively raising awareness about the utility of the ecosystem services concept for stakeholders and policymakers.

Primary health care challenges: insights from older people with multimorbidity in Malawi – a qualitative study

BackgroundThe global population is undergoing a significant surge in aging leading to increased susceptibility to various forms of progressive illnesses. This phenomenon significantly impacts both individual health and healthcare systems. Low and Middle Income Countries face particular challenges, as their Primary Health Care (PHC) settings often lack the necessary human and material resources to effectively address the escalating healthcare demands of the older people. This study set out to explore the experiences of older people living with progressive multimorbidity in accessing PHC services in Malawi.MethodsBetween July 2022 and January 2023, a total of sixty in-depth interviews were conducted with dyads of individuals aged ≥ 50 years and their caregivers, and twelve healthcare workers in three public hospitals across Malawi’s three administrative regions. The study employed a stratified selection of sites, ensuring representation from rural, peri-urban, and urban settings, allowing for a comprehensive comparison of diverse perspectives. Guided by the Andersen-Newman theoretical framework, the study assessed the barriers, facilitators, and need factors influencing PHC service access and utilization by the older people.ResultsThree themes, consistent across all sites emerged, encompassing barriers, facilitators, and need factors respectively. The themes include: (1) clinic environment: inconvenient clinic setup, reliable PHC services and research on diabetic foods; (2) geographical factors: available means of transportation, bad road conditions, lack of comprehensive PHC services at local health facility and need for community approaches; and (3) social and personal factors: encompassing use of alternative medicine, perceived health care benefit and support with startup capital for small-scale businesses.ConclusionThis research highlights the impact of various factors on older people’s access to and use of PHC services. A comprehensive understanding of the barriers, facilitators, and specific needs of older people is essential for developing tailored services that effectively address their unique challenges and preferences. The study underscores the necessity of community-based approaches to improve PHC access for this demographic. Engaging multiple stakeholders is important to tackle the diverse challenges, enhance PHC services at all levels, and facilitate access for older people living with progressive multimorbidity.

Design of 1450-1500nm Bismuth-doped Fiber Laser

With the rapid development of information technology, people's demand for the transmission capacity of fiber optic communication networks is increasing. How to broaden the bandwidth of communication systems has become one of the key issues in the field of communication. Researchers have found that the operating bandwidth of amplifiers mainly limits the bandwidth of communication systems. Although multiple solutions have been proposed and implemented to address this issue, there are still many gaps in the design of full-band multi wavelength-related light sources. By studying the three-level system of bismuth ions, the rate equation and power transfer equation of a bismuth ion doped fiber laser are simulated, and the pump power threshold and output power are calculated. Using MATLAB for simulation experiments, the relationship between laser power and pump power, as well as their variation with propagation distance, were ultimately obtained. The simulation results show that under 830 pump lights, the pump light threshold power is 10W. After reaching the threshold power, the pump light power and laser power have a linear relationship, and as the propagation distance increases, the pump light power gradually decreases and the laser power gradually increases. The analysis shows that the power generated by the signal light in this band meets the theoretical standards, which verifies the correctness of the scheme.

Tendon Actuation Device Based On Underactuation Apple Lossless End Effector

With the continuous development of agriculture, people's demand for improving orchard production efficiency and fruit quality is increasing. The traditional manual method of picking apples has problems such as low efficiency and high losses. Advanced technologies are urgently needed to address this challenge. To this end, this article introduces a non-destructive apple-picking technology based on robot end effectors. Through simulation analysis, it was determined that four steps of adsorption, pulling back, clamping, and twisting were used to simulate one-handed picking. The end effector produces a spherical dynamic grasp with normal force distribution and pick-up sequence replicating selected human body patterns. By analyzing and solving the structure of the hand claw, the motion statistics of the three fingers under different drives are simulated to determine the force required for picking. This technology adds an underactuated tendon drive with a flexible flexure joint. This is to make the system work better in the event of positioning errors and to make it more resistant to changes in fruit size, shape, and orientation. Experimental results show that non-destructive apple-picking technology using robotic end effectors has higher efficiency and lower losses than traditional methods. Robots can quickly complete more picking tasks and reduce fruit waste and loss.
