Development of a Smart Game Application for Auditory Training of Children with Spatial Processing Disorder in Iran: A Pilot Study

Background and Aim: Identifying sound localization defects in children and using appropriate rehabilitation methods lead to improve their problem to use binaural processing skills to successfully suppress background noise and selectively attend to a particular auditory source. This pilot study aims to design a game for auditory training of children with Spatial Processing Disorder (SPD) in Iran and compare their performance in engagement time and speech recognition in noise with those of normal peers. Methods: The game application was designed based on the spatial separation of target and competing stimuli by applying head-related transfer functions. The child’s task was to identify the picture of the target word from among the displayed options. Participants were 24 children with SPD and 27 normal peers aged 7–9 years, who performed the speech recognition tasks using the designed game. Results: The game was fascinating and easy to use for most participants. There was no significant difference in mean engagement time between the two groups. The mean engagement time of participants was significantly different between the two groups in terms of age. The children with SPD obtained lower scores in speech recognition in noise tasks. There was no significant difference in speech recognition scores between girls and boys. Conclusion: The designed game application has the potential for speech recognition in- noise training of children with SPD in Iran. It is a fascinating and user-friendly tool for simulating the real-life auditory situations for these children.

Humidity-Resistant, Conductive Fabric-Based Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Efficient Energy Harvesting and Human-Machine Interaction Sensing.

With the rapid development of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), the exploration of self-powered, flexible, and wearable electronic devices has attracted widespread attention. However, the choice of tribomaterials and high humidity environment have a significant impact on the triboelectricity of TENG. Therefore, we prepared a composite fabric (HPC) with superhydrophobic and conductive properties, which was used simultaneously as a tribopositive material and electrode for the construction of promising wearable TENGs. Specifically, the loading of polydopamine, carbon nanotubes, and polypyrrole on the surface of the cotton fabric makes it have not only conductivity but also enhanced tribopositive polarity. Then, cetyltrimethoxysilane was selected to modify it to obtain superhydrophobicity. Compared with the common TENGs with a separate tribolayer and electrode, the integrated HPC-TENG shows the advantages of simpler structure and lighter wear. Moreover, compared with the unmodified fabric-based TENG, the performance of the proposed HPC-TENG is improved by nearly 7.2 times, and the maximum power density can reach 2.6 W m-2. This remarkable output can be attributed to the combination of strong electron-giving groups, high electrical conductivity, and abundant micro- and nanorough structure of the HPC fabric. More importantly, due to the water repellency of the fabric surface, the high output performance can be maintained under high humidity conditions. In addition, HPC-TENG has potential applications as pressure sensors for human motion status monitoring and multichannel sensing for smart game blanket entertainment. The newly designed HPC-TENG offers a new strategy for the development of superhydrophobic fabrics with an electrical conductivity, energy harvesting, and self-powered sensor.

Determinants of fatigue in emergency department clinicians who wear personal protective equipment.

To determine the independent predictors for clinician fatigue and decline in cognitive function following a shift in the ED during early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. This was a prospective, quasi-experimental study conducted in a metropolitan adult tertiary-referral hospital ED over 20 weeks in 2021. The participants were ED doctors and nurses working clinical shifts in an ED isolation area or high-risk zone (HRZ) with stringent personal protective equipment (PPE). The participants' objective and subjective fatigue was measured by the Samn-Perelli fatigue score and a psychomotor vigilance 'smart game' score, respectively. Postural signs/symptoms and urine specific gravity (SG) were measured as markers of dehydration. Sixty-three participants provided data for 263 shifts. Median (interquartile range) age was 33 (28-38) years, 73% were female. Worsening fatigue score was associated with working afternoon shifts (afternoon vs day, adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 5.16 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.32-20.02]) and in non-HRZ locations (HRZ vs non-HRZ, aOR 0.23 [95% CI 0.06-0.87]). Worsening cognitive function (game score) was associated with new onset postural symptoms (new vs no symptoms, aOR 4.14 [95% CI 1.34-12.51]) and afternoon shifts (afternoon vs day, aOR 3.13 [95% CI 1.16-8.44]). Working in the HRZ was not associated with declining cognitive function. Thirty-four (37%) of the 92 participants had an end of shift urine SG >1.030. Working afternoon shifts was associated with fatigue. There was no association between HRZ allocation and fatigue, but our study was limited by a low COVID workload and fluctuating PPE requirements in the non-HRZs. Workplace interventions that target the prevention of fatigue in ED clinicians working afternoon shifts should be prioritised.

A Smart Game for Data Transmission and Energy Consumption in the Internet of Things

The current trend in developing smart technology for the Internet of Things (IoT) has motivated a lot of research interest in optimizing data transmission or minimizing energy consumption, but with little evidence of proposals for achieving both objectives in a single model. Using the concept of game theory, we develop a new MAC protocol for IEEE 802.15.4 and IoT networks in which we formulate a novel expression for the players’ utility function and establish a stable Nash equilibrium (NE) for the game. The proposed IEEE 802.15.4 MAC protocol is modeled as a smart game in which analytical expressions are derived for channel access probability, data transmission probability, and energy used. These analytical expressions are used in formulating an optimization problem (OP) that maximizes data transmission and minimizes energy consumption by nodes. The analysis and simulation results suggest that the proposed scheme is scalable and achieves better performance in terms of data transmission, energy-efficiency, and longevity, when compared with the default IEEE 802.15.4 access mechanism.

Social Responses to Water Management Decisions

We suggest that those involved with environmental and water resources planning and management need to consider the social responses as well as the economic and environmental impacts of our decisions. But predicting such responses now, and especially in the future, will not be possible. All we know about the future is that it will differ from the present. This includes the goals or objectives society wishes to achieve. But, in spite of this, decisions have to be made today that shape or influence the future we think we will want. What can policymakers do to better insure that a policy is able to achieve society’s objectives over time? One way is to include members of society (or at least their behavior) in the policymaking process. Another way is to make the policy adaptive and include monitoring and learning so that new actions can be taken when conditions change. That is, policies should include provisions for being prepared for changes. In this paper we offer a conceptual model of a coupled social-water system, each component influencing decisions that affect the other over time. We give some examples of just how hard it is to attempt predictions, why, and what can go wrong if those predictions are wrong. And we offer some analytic approaches to policymaking that do not depend on such predictions. These approaches include the use of (1) agent-based models that simulate the behavior of individual or collective entities, (2) stakeholders who represent the social component interacting with computer models of the water systems within a decision support framework or within the framework of a smart game, or (3) dynamic adaptive policies, which rely on monitoring and adapting rather than implementing a fixed policy. All of these approaches can be used to gain insights and understanding of the coupled social and natural components of water resource systems.

Gaining Cultural Intelligence through Second Life Learning Interventions

Companiesâ?? investment in international assignments remains essential, but is affordable for only relatively few employees. In todayâ??s global economy, many employees must gain cultural intelligence. Encyclopedic web sites and smart game simulations are ill-equipped to offer the live, authentic immersive experience of Virtual World environments; learning from colleagues who are country-natives through interacting with them in a Virtual World like Second Life is the next best thing to being there, and it requires no travel. Virtual world learning sessions with local ambassadors are affordable on a massive scale compared with international assignments. In addition, through Virtual World experiences, international assignees can be more effective with colleagues from their assigned countries prior to boarding planes, even prior to Day 1 of the assignment. This research proposal, including a literature review and a research design, asks, and begins to answer: What can cultural intelligence learning in Second Life achieve or advance that cultural intelligence learning in real-life within the cultures, smart game simulations and encyclopedic, self-service web sites cannot as readily?

Promoting better nutrition in the grocery store using a game format: The shop smart game project

Evidence from a number of genetic, experimental, pathological, intervention, and epidemiological studies (1-8) support the conclusion that high blood cholesterol is a major precursor of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease (CHD). This led the National Institutes of Health Consensus Conference on Lowering Blood Cholesterol to recommend that all Americans (except children under age 2) be advised to adopt a diet that reduces intake of saturated fat and cholesterol (9). To assist in identifying strategies to educate the public about cholesterol, the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute launched the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) in October of 1987. In an NCEP planning workshop on public education (10) participants urged that educational strategies use positive approaches that demonstrate the selection and preparation of healthy foods, and also emphasize the importance of using a wide range of intermediary organizations to communicate messages about blood cholesterol. Grocery stores were identified as settings that offer opportunities for point-of-purchase education and food labeling. A recent and Drug Administration survey of 83 grocery store chains with greater than 10% of the market share in the top 50 U. S. market areas showed that 36% of the chains had or were planning point-of-purchase nutrition information programs (11). Only a few studies evaluating such~programs have emerged in the literature, and findings from these vary. Some (12, 13) reported no behavior changes resulting from the programs, while others (14, 15) detected short-term change in choice of certain foods. Two large-scale programs, Special Diet Alert (SDA) and Food for Health, were conducted by federal
