Brain-computer Interaction in the Smart Era.

The brain-computer interface (BCI) system serves as a critical link between external output devices and the human brain. A monitored object's mental state, sensory cognition, and even higher cognition are reflected in its electroencephalography (EEG) signal. Nevertheless, unprocessed EEG signals are frequently contaminated with a variety of artifacts, rendering the analysis and elimination of impurities from the collected EEG data exceedingly challenging, not to mention the manual adjustment thereof. Over the last few decades, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has contributed to the development of BCI technology. Algorithms derived from AI and machine learning have significantly enhanced the ability to analyze and process EEG electrical signals, thereby expanding the range of potential interactions between the human brain and computers. As a result, the present BCI technology with the help of AI can assist physicians in gaining a more comprehensive understanding of their patients' physical and psychological status, thereby contributing to improvements in their health and quality of life.

0D bio-based carbon dots and 2D MXene hybridization toward fabricating flame-retardant, conductive and sensing cellulose fabrics

With the rapid development of the smart era, there is an urgent need to replace traditional cellulosic textiles with flame retardant multifunctional cellulosic textiles. Herein, two novel multifunctional textiles (MXene@CDG-C/L and MXene@CDM-C/L) were obtained by constructing coatings consisting of MXene and bio-based carbon dot mixtures (CDG and CDM) on cellulose fabrics using a one-pot impregnation method. MXene@CDG-C/L and MXene@CDM-C/L exhibited desirable flame retardancy, electrical conductivity and sensing properties due to the synergistic effect of MXene and carbon dot mixtures. In the vertical burning test, MXene@CDG-C/L and MXene@CDM-C/L showed self-extinguishing when the external ignition source was removed, with limiting oxygen index values increasing from 18.1 % of untreated fabric to 34.4 % and 36.0 %, respectively. Meanwhile, the conductivities of MXene@CDG-C/L and MXene@CDM-C/L were as high as 31.8 S m−1 and 21.4 S m−1, respectively. Notably, benefiting from the inherent flexibility of cellulose fabrics, MXene@CDG-C/L and MXene@CDM-C/L were able to monitor human movement in a stable and continuous manner. In addition, MXene@CDG-C/L and MXene@CDM-C/L retained good integration properties including flame retardancy, electrical conductivity and sensing property after 20 washing cycles. In conclusion, the strategy reported in this work provided a new idea for the development of environment-friendly and economical multifunctional smart textiles.

Role of Blockchain Technology in Smart Era: A Review on Possible Smart Applications

By the end of 2021, the worldwide cryptocurrency market valuation had hit a whole high of $3 trillion. Blockchain technology underpins cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. The adoption of blockchain, as well as the technology and products it enables, will continue to have a significant influence on company operations. However, blockchain technology is much more than a secure cryptocurrency transfer method. It may be utilised in areas other than finance, including as healthcare, insurance, voting, welfare benefits, gaming and artist royalties. The global economy is prepared for the blockchain revolution, with the technology already having an influence on business and society on many levels. If the term “revolution” seems extreme, consider that eight of the world’s ten largest corporations are developing a variety of blockchain-based solutions. Any enterprise or organisation that is engaged in the recording and oversight of any type of transaction stands to profit from shifting its operations to a blockchain-based platform. This paper discusses about the various roles blockchain has taken up over the years in several different industries along with the future opportunities and scope of expansion to numerous other professional sectors.

Strong Magnetic–Dielectric Synergistic Gradient Metamaterials for Boosting Superior Multispectral Ultra‐Broadband Absorption with Low‐Frequency Compatibility

AbstractThe construction of 3D porous structures and metamaterials (MMs) is the most promising approaches to achieve broadband electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption. However, it is still a huge challenge to achieve multispectral ultra‐broadband EMW absorption properties compatible with low‐frequency band (L‐ and S‐band) due to its ultralong wavelength and strong bypass capability. Herein, magnetic–dielectric synergistic gradient MMs (MDSGM) consisting of oriented flaky carbonyl iron (FCI) film and periodical RGO/CNT/CNF aerogel (GTFA) array are demonstrated. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of strong magnetic–dielectric loss, structural loss, and excellent impedance matching, MDSGM harvests an exciting multispectral ultra‐broadband EMW absorption performance with a remarkable effective absorption bandwidth covering the whole measured frequency of 1–40, 50–110 GHz, and 0.1–2.0 THz for the first time. The minimum RL (RLmin) reaches −40.24 dB and average RL is up to −19.3 dB (98.8% EMW being absorbed) in microwave band. Moreover, this multispectral ultra‐broadband EMW absorption property is less affected by the incident angle. This work pioneered realization of multispectral ultra‐broadband EMW absorption compatible with low‐frequency, which provides a great thrust for the development of stealth technology in the upcoming smart era.

Ultrathin self-assembly MXene/Co-based bimetallic oxide heterostructures as superior and modulated microwave absorber

• The customized flower-like Co-based heterostructures (CoO/MCo 2 O 4 , M=Fe, Cu, Zn) were successfully synthesis through identical hydrothermal route. • The introduction of different metal ions enables to modulate the components, heterogeneous interfaces and defects for tailoring the electromagnetic parameters. • The permittivity decreases gradually in the order of Fe 2+ , Cu 2+ , Zn 2+ , making it possible to tune absorption peak position and frequency band. • When filler content is 10 wt%, the CoO/CuCo 2 O 4 possesses RL min of –52.67 dB and corresponding EAB of 4.48 GHz at 1.90 mm. Lightweight and high-efficiency absorbing materials equipped with tunable electromagnetic properties are the foremost important factors for driving applications of 5G smart era and military stealth. Stimulated by the remarkable merits of heterogeneous interface engineering, a series of unique flower-like Co-based multiphases nanostructures were successfully synthesized through identical hydrothermal method, and subsequently anchored on the Ti 3 C 2 T x nanosheets. The suitable metal ion modulation is feasible to regulate the components, heterogeneous interfaces and defects for tailoring the electromagnetic parameters and microwave absorption (MA) property. Notably, the permittivity decreases of CMOT (CoO/MCo 2 O 4 /Ti 3 C 2 T x , M=Fe, Cu, Zn) composites proceed gradually in the order of Fe 2+ , Cu 2+ , Zn 2+ , while the MA performance with tunable absorption peak could be modulated subtly. The as-obtained CFOT-12 (10 wt%), CCOT-15(10 wt%) and CZOT-15 (15 wt%) exhibit excellent MA capacity with a minimum reflection loss (RL min ) of –41.06, –52.67, –52.52 dB and corresponding effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 3.68, 4.48, 3.92 GHz at 2.10, 1.90, 1.80 mm, respectively. This work expands a novel approach to construct multicomponent heterostructure for tuning the EM parameters and absorbing property, as well as realize the high efficient and light weight.

중국 시민 정치참여의 단계적 변화 연구

Political participation has an important significance in political democracy and national governance in modern society which is also the basic operating system of modern democracy. Chinese citizens' political participation has always emphasized the concept of democracy in terms of not laying the foundation of the socialist political system.
 However, previous studies analyze the political participation of Chinese citizens in terms of institutional and case studies, not in macro-level. Therefore, this study examines the time-series changes and current status of Chinese citizen political participation at a macro level.
 The early form of Chinese civic political participation was mobilization-type political participation, which was an important driving force to break away from the feudal era and maintain a stable state system in the early days of the modern China. The next form that emerged is participation in various 'movement' dimensions reflecting the times when economic development was prioritized with independent civic political participation at a limited level. In the third stage, the form of government-led political participation appeared intensively after the 2000s, and at the same time, it was a process of more democratic political reform and institutionalization of citizens' political participation. The last stage is political participation in China's policy criticism, which is expanding based on ICT. A new form of political participation is emerging around online networked opinion leaders, which will establish itself as a basic participation method for generations living in the smart era in the future.
 Based on this analysis, the paper is concluded by presenting suggestions and limitations for the sound development of Chinese civic politics.

아이돌 스타를 촬영한 선정적인 영상물 시청과 청소년 성개방성과의 관계에서 사회적 지지의 매개효과

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the mediating effect of social support on the relationship between the viewing of sensational videos of idol stars through the mass media and the sexual openness of adolescents. Methods: This study used the 'Study on countermeasures against sexual commodification of adolescents through mass media in the smart era' conducted by the 'Korea Youth Policy Institute' in 2014 for the entire country as the main data. Variables consisted of socio-demographic characteristics of study subjects, video viewing, social support, and sexual openness. For data analysis, SPSS ver 23.0 program was used. Results: As a result of comparing the averages, male students (20.40) had higher sexual openness than female students (18.67), and high school students (20.27) had higher sexual openness than middle school students (18.05) at school level. By grade level, sexual openness increased from the first year of middle school (17.47) to the third year of high school (20.82) (p<0.001). In order to verify the mediating effect of video viewing on the effect of adolescent social support on sexual openness, 3-step mediated regression analysis and Sobel test were conducted. As a result, video viewing had a significant effect on sexual openness through social support (p<0.001). Conclusion: Rather than obscuring the environment of mass media unconditionally, creating an atmosphere according to the tendency of realistic social support and reinforcing emotional education will help prevent the adverse effects of reckless sexualization of adolescents.

Specifically, the sensitivity of the sensor can reach up to 64.56 kPa−1 under small stress, and the sensing range is 4.9 Pa–98 kPa. Moreover, the response and recovery time under small stress is 59 and 15 ms, respectively. The sensing mechanism of the pressure sensor is explored. The prepared flexible wearable sensor shows great application potential in human motion and health monitoring.

A citizen participation model for co-creation of public value in a smart city

ABSTRACT Information technologies, social media and the Internet of Things are tools that may encourage civic participation for the co-creation of public value and can strengthen the role of citizens in urban governance. This work seeks to explore of how social media and IoT based participation enhances the interaction between government and citizen, and for government, what capabilities are required for continuous citizen participation. The paper examines the power dynamics between government and citizens employing Giddens’s theory of structuration as an analytical framework. In addition, dynamic capability theory has been applied to determine the capabilities of government needed for continuous civic participation, while proposing a citizen participation model for public value co-creation. The proposed model can serve as a framework for recognizing the vital role of citizens in public policymaking and public service provision in the smart era.
