Dietary Differences by Job Type and Industry Among Workers in Japan During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Study.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic forced people to change their lifestyles. We examined dietary differences by job type and industry among workers during the pandemic. This cross-sectional study was conducted using data an internet survey. Job type and industry were classified into 3 and 22 groups, respectively. Dietary behaviors were assessed using self-reported questionnaires. Logistic regression analysis nested in the workplace prefecture was conducted. Workers involved in jobs that required communication with people were more likely to skip breakfast (odds ratio [OR]: 1.17, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.10-1.24) and had a lower meal frequency (OR: 1.25, 95% CI: 1.17-1.34) than workers engaged in desk work. Manual workers were more likely to eat fast food or meals (OR: 1.10, 95% CI: 1.03-1.17) than were those engaged in desk work. Workers in the newspaper, magazine, television, radio, advertising, and other mass media industries were more likely to skip breakfast (OR: 2.43, 95% CI: 1.82-3.24) and have a lower meal frequency (OR: 3.90, 95% CI: 2.87-5.28) than workers in public offices and organizations. These results were partially consistent with trends reported before the pandemic. Further studies should be conducted to clarify the causes of differences in dietary behavior among workers.

What's in a Name? The Place of Language in the Naming of Programmes in the Zambian Radio and Television Industry

The old Shakespearian rhetorical question, 'What's in a name?'’' comes to the fore when we examine the names given to programmes by Zambian radio and television stations. While most people are not bothered by such names and would argue that it is the content of the programmes that is paramount, not the names thereof, it may be argued that the names are worth analysing from the perspective of onomastics, which is the scientific study of names and naming systems. No study has been conducted on the names of radio and television programmes in Zambia, and this is the lacuna that this study is concerned with. The study is qualitative in nature and analyses names of programmes in both public and private media houses. More specifically, the study concerns itself with the language used in the naming – that is, whether local names are used apart from English names and if so, which Zambian languages are the local names associated with. The findings reveal that none of the media houses selected for the study has a formal or written policy on language use. The naming of programmes tends to follow a linguistic pattern similar to what obtains with regard to the use of language: the public media has more programmes with names in local languages than the private media. Ultimately, however, the findings of this study underline the fact that there is no formal language policy guiding the affairs of the nation. It may be concluded, therefore, that the situation cannot be corrected or ameliorated without a clear language policy at national level.

ABSTRACT Grounded theory offers a way to examine the journeys of Black radio leaders. A group of 14 radio station leaders interviewed by The HistoryMakers and available in the HistoryMakers Digital Archive were selected for the following areas: educational background, career path, journey into the radio industry, management strategy, and insights on sustainability of the Black Radio medium. The 14 radio leaders did not reflect a consistent pattern of career preparation. Four initial building blocks—ownership, leadership, management and outlook led to a second tier of themes—that together form the “Tenets of Black Radio Resilience.”

“A Good Honest Journeyman Newspapering”: Billboard’s Lee Zhito Exposes Editorializing at George A. Richards’s “Station of the Stars”

A 1948 journalistic scoop informed the public and broadcast regulators about misconduct on the airwaves. The investigation by Lee Zhito established Billboard—known for music coverage and song charts—as a legitimate journalism voice in the radio industry. Zhito exposed news slanting and editorializing by station owner George A. Richards, who expressed to staff his abhorrence of Blacks, Jews, Communists, and Democrats—especially Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Mayflower doctrine banned editorializing and advocated public service, yet Richards’s views shaped news and commentary airing on KMPC in Los Angeles, WJR in Detroit, and WGAR in Cleveland. Zhito’s exposé produced national ramifications, led to the first major FCC case addressing news slanting and broadcast licensee obligations, generated 18,000 transcript pages and one of the FCC legal department’s most strongly worded documents affirming broadcaster public service. Journalists revealing secret practices can have a direct impact, pressuring industry and regulators to be more serious about upholding responsibilities.

Signaling Blackness: Understanding Industrialized Constructions of African American Radio Audiences in the Obama Era

ABSTRACT This study considers how the Black radio industry imagined and addressed its African American audiences in the Obama era. Through an examination of the use of sound on air, interviews with station executives, and industry publications, I argue executives used three constructed lifestyles—the culture of affluence, the culture of the mic, and the culture of grace—to segment their audiences. Industry efforts to construct audiences along class/status lines produced a bifurcated understanding of Blackness as either sophisticated or street. With this binary driving industry logic, Black radio unproductively promoted narrow constructions of Blackness in the public sphere.

Management Strategy and Challenges for Religious Radio Stations in Malaysia

The landscape of radio transmission has changed as a result of the advent of digital technologies. It has indirectly affected how people listen to the radio. This study seeks to understand how religious radio stations stay relevant in radio industry when commercial radio rules. Hence, this research aims to determine the factors contributing to religious radio sustainability and its challenges in the digital age. This research used a qualitative approach by interviewing religious radio station managers. The findings reveal that management strategy is the core factor influencing community response to religious radio. Even though commercial radio dominates the radio business in the country, there is no competition between religious and commercial radio. Nevertheless, the commercial radio seeks to emulate religious radio strategy, unexpectedly. By defining the target listeners and using a good scheduling structure, management has proven to be the cornerstone of religious radio stations' success.

Copper ferrite obtaining from microelectronics waste

Relevance. The need to develop new methods for metal waste disposal. This direction, with the participation of various intensifying influences, refers to resource-saving, technological, minimizing the volume of capital costs for raw materials, production and subsequent sale. Aim. To obtain copper ferrite from iron and copper waste of microelectronics. Copper ferrite is a useful and highly demanded product in this branch of domestic industry, especially now, when many sanctions have been imposed on our country, including in terms of microelectronics. To study its magnetic properties and draw a conclusion about the possibility of its application. Objects. Samples of iron and copper waste in the form of plates, wire and shavings. Methods. Volumetric analysis, electron microscopy, X-ray phase analysis, study of magnetic susceptibility. Results. The authors have produced finely dispersed iron (III) oxide from iron-containing microelectronics waste. This oxide is used in electrical engineering as part of high-voltage resistors for grounding the neutral of networks, lithium-ion batteries, as a carrier of analog and digital information. In the radio engineering industry it is used as part of low-voltage resistors, high-frequency chokes, small-sized pulse transformers. The authors produced finely dispersed copper (II) oxide from copper-containing waste. This oxide is used in production of phosphors and dry batteries – in batteries with liquid cells as a cathode, with lithium as an anode and dioxalane mixed with lithium perchlorate as an electrolyte. In addition, it finds application as a p-type semiconductor, since it has a narrow bandgap of 1.2 eV, and manufacturing photovoltaic cells in solar panels. Copper ferrite was synthesized from the obtained oxides by sintering. Rings made of such alloy serve as a core in transformers. The part increases the magnetic field strength by several thousand times, making the devices transmit more power than they could with a non-ferrite core. Ferrite ring cores are found not only in transformers, but also in other electronics (e.g. magnetic memory).

A QUICK GLANCE: THE UGLY TRUTH OF RADIO MIGRATION IN MALAYSIA

With the advent of television, radio lost its dominant position in many countries due to globalisation and convergence, leading to the rise of digitalisation. However, digitalisation has overshadowed traditional analogue technology. Instead of coexisting, analogue and digital technologies are now in direct competition, with digital alternatives such as podcasts and online radio posing significant challenges to analogue technology. As a result, the radio industry is currently facing severe problems to stay relevant. We conducted a study examining political economy influencing radio migration in Malaysia along with its relationship to government actions and plans. Our research reveals that the political economy perspective strongly impacts radio migration in the country. To ensure a successful radio migration, we propose the implementation of a neo-liberal perspective within Malaysia's broadcasting sector.

Machine learning-based fault diagnosis for three-phase induction motors in ventilation systems

ABSTRACTInduction motors are crucial in industrial drive systems and nuclear and radiological facilities due to their durability and ease of maintenance. Even though the systems are reliable, they have several faults. One of these faults is the instability of the facility’s electrical network. This may lead to catastrophic consequences such as instability in HVAC and ventilation systems, which affects operational safety. Air instability in the HVAC system is a critical concern in the radio pharmaceutical industry. Controlled environments are vital for safety and regulatory compliance. Maintaining air quality and stability is crucial to protect radioactive materials and ensure personnel safety. A healthy and faulty motor condition dataset proposed and used in the study was generated based on a simulated actual supply of electric data. A fault diagnosis is necessary to increase reliability and minimise risks. This paper proposes a simple, reliable, and economical machine-learning-based fault classifier for induction motors. The method analyzes stator currents, motor speed, torque, and three-phase voltage supply to classify some faults resulting from high amplitude and zeros of voltage. A case study of an air handling unit with a 2 hp, 4-pole, 50 Hz three-phase induction motor was modelled and tested with the proposed dataset using various classifiers, including decision trees, logistic regression, discriminant analysis, Naive Bayes, Ensemble, and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN).

Dismantling the Golden Age: Broadcast scheduling strategies on 1950s US network radio

From the late 1940s to early 1960s, the US radio industry underwent a dramatic transformation. Instead of scripted programming and live musical performances, which characterized the era known as the Golden Age of Radio, stations began to focus on local advertising markets and relied upon recorded music for content. This study explores the programming and scheduling strategies of the major commercial networks in the United States as they dealt with this transformation. Using the theoretical framework of remediation, the analysis provides some context for a contemporary change in electronic media, the transition from linear programming to streaming and on-demand forms of delivery.

Eksistensi Radio: Tantangan dan Peluang di Era Digital dan Post-Pandemic COVID-19 (Sebuah Pendekatan dengan Metode Tinjauan Literatur Sistematik)

Radio became an actor in the development of digitalization of technology, which began with the arrival of the internet. The existence of radio is questioned during the emergence of internet-based technology, one of which is due to the view that sees radio as something old-fashioned and difficult to adapt to changing times. However, the fact is that radio today still continues to survive even during the COVID-19 pandemic, radio listeners globally and in Indonesia have increased. This is a turning point in the rise of radio listeners. This paper looks at how radio can maintain its existence and what the radio industry should do in the midst of the digital era and after the COVID-19 pandemic by using a systematic literature review (SLR) with the Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. This approach is carried out by looking at, analyzing and comparing a number of studies from international journals that have been published and related to the topic discussed. The results show that radio still has a future, both public and community radio. Radio still has a great opportunity to continue to grow. The study used in this paper shows that radio still has a bright future if it emphasizes the quality of programs and the affordability of media technology.
