Interest of Youth of the Batak Karo Protestant Church (GBKP) Cikarang in Using Regional Language Communication

This study examines the interest of the youth of the Batak Karo Protestant Church (GBKP) Cikarang in the use of regional language communication. There is a phenomenon of the lack of interest of GBKP youth in using regional languages ??in communicating. Regional languages ??play an important role in describing cultural identity. Along with the shifting developments in the era of globalization, the interest in using regional languages ??will gradually be replaced by contemporary languages ??that change the way of communication between fellow GBKP Cikarang youth. The purpose of this study was to determine the interest of GBKP youth in using Karo language in the era of globalization. The research method used Qualitative research. The location of the research was at the GBKP Cikarang Church, West Java. Data collection techniques used interviews, observation, and documentation. This study used the Ethnolinguistic Vitality Theory to determine the factors influencing the use of regional languages. The results of the study showed that: (1) the interest of GBKP youth in using Karo language in Cikarang experienced a real decline, this finding also revealed that interest was not completely lost, because GBKP youth were more pressured by an irregular or changing environment. (2) factors that influence the use of Karo language in communicating the role of family, environment and the era of globalization and the demands of the times. The use of Karo language among GBKP youth in Cikarang, West Java, has experienced a significant decline. Although there are variations in the understanding and use of Karo language depending on family background, place of residence and social interaction, in general the interest of GBKP youth in using their mother tongue has declined.

Analysis of the Problems and Effects of Family-School Collaboration

Family-school collaboration has received widespread attention, but it still has not improved in a kind of development progress. This article outlines the problems and effects of family-school collaboration. This paper argues that the biggest barrier to implementing a useful family-school collaboration would be the communication between parents and teachers. Parents’ and teachers’ communication ways, frequency, and influence would affect the quality of information about their children’s performance that parents can get, which will also determine parents’ satisfaction with this school. In this case, this article supposed that it is crucial to improve the significance of parents’ participation and build a closer relationship between parents and teachers so that a kind of stimulation or motivation for children to study in a better way. So some policies try to increase parents’ participation in tutoring for their children and create a new bond with teachers so that being a helper or supervisor of children.

Romance and Worries: AI Partners and Young Adults’ Emotional Relationships

With the rapid development of science and technology, AI artificial intelligence has been comprehensively developed and penetrated into every corner of life. With the emergence of updated human-computer interaction products, AI partners gradually enter people’s daily lives and becoming more and more popular among the younger demographics. Aiming to clarify the emotional relationship between young adults and their AI partners, this study takes adolescents as research subjects and uses online observation and literature research methods. Research has found that young adults’ emotional interactions with AI partners can have a dual impact. Using an AI partner wisely, they can gain positive psychological comfort, get rid of emotional loneliness, and improve social skills. Yet, over-indulgence in the world of AI partners can also negatively affect young adults’ growth, leading to disappointment in the real world and disclosure of their personal privacy. In order to maximize the positive effects of AI and prevent over dependence, this study suggests promoting the technological upgrading of the AI industry, emphasizing the guidance of family education, and strengthening legal regulation, so as to promote the scientific use of AI partners and social harmonious development together. Moreover, this research can make people further understand the field of AI emotional communication, let people have more tolerance for users, and make this way of communication further into people’s lives.

It must not be dangerous to talk about it! Parents views of communication with schoolnurses on weight

Abstract Background The study aimed to describe parents’ experiences of communication with school nurses concerning the growth data and weight development of their children aged 8 and 10 years old in Sweden. Methods The design was descriptive and qualitative. 15 women and 3 men in south Sweden were included, with children who had performed health visits in the School Health Service (SHS). Data were collected through in - person semi structured interviews. Qualitative content analysis was used. Results The results illustrated the health visit’s purpose as unclear with need for improved dialogue and lacking feedback from the SHS. “To be able to get guidelines of what is the normal growth and what is a normal deviation and maybe a bit more about diet and lifestyle and movement.” The need for an improved channel for receiving information from SHS, and access to their child’s growth data. “Couldn’t they have a school nurse site or information page, where you get information about your child from the day they enroll in school until they leave.” Parents experienced a lack of a child-centered perspective, described the child’s context as not in focus, and desired collaboration. “I think that it is very important that children feel good in their bodies, and that is a really important task for health care.” Conclusions (a) Initiating a discussion regarding the preventive health work of school nurses and the main assignment of SHS. (b) Development of a child-centered perspective towards parents and children with focus on the child’s entire social context. (c) Implementation of evidence-based methods for communicating growth data and weight development between SHS and parents. Key messages • An increased dialogue between parents and SHS was requested, with a reachable way of communication via a digital platform. • A holistic view of the child, with positive professional attitudes seem essential to meet the needs of the child.

Research on Online Games and Social Interaction

This paper delves into the central position of online games in contemporary society and their close relationship with social interaction. With the popularity of the Internet, online games have become one of the most important ways of leisure and social communication. The study outlines the development of MMOs, from their origins to their diverse classifications, and in particular how their unique social characteristics facilitate interactions between players. Through theoretical analysis combined with social exchange theory and symbolic interaction theory, this paper reveals the mechanisms of social interactions in MMOs, including inter-player exchanges, cooperation and competition, and explores how these interactions profoundly affect players' gaming experience and behavioural decisions. Further, this paper analyses the trend of convergence between online games and social networks, and how this convergence enhances the social attributes and player engagement of games. At the same time, the paper also focuses on the social problems that online games may bring, such as Internet addiction and social disorders, cyberbullying, etc., and looks forward to the impact of technological advances on future social interaction patterns. Finally, the paper summarises the potential and challenges faced by online games in promoting healthy social interactions, and puts forward suggestions for future research with a view to promoting the healthy development of the field of online games and social interactions.

Discrete modulation continuous variable quantum key distribution under fast fading channel

After decades of development, continuous variable quantum key distribution technology still cannot meet people’s needs for secure communication over long distances. Free-space quantum communication provides a new way for secure communication over long distances. However, because the communication connected in free space is inevitably affected by atmospheric turbulence, the transmission rate of the channel changes rapidly according to the probability distribution, making it difficult for the communication personnel to determine the transmission rate of the channel. At the same time, discrete modulated continuously variable quantum key Distribution protocol (DM-CVQKD) has certain advantages over Gauss modulated continuously variable quantum key Distribution protocol (GM-CVQKD) in the communication distance. Therefore, this paper analyzes the key rate of DM-CVQKD in this case (that is, in the fast attenuation channel), proves that it can resist the collective attack, and observes the relationship between the parameters and the key rate in the fast attenuation channel by numerical simulation and control variables. Finally, through the analysis of numerical simulation results, it is found that DM-CVQKD can still maintain a high key rate under certain conditions, which proves that long-distance free space quantum communication is feasible under certain conditions. At the same time, it was found that the performance of DM-CVQKD was affected by the extreme case where Eve completely controlled the instantaneous transmittance.

Single-cell RNA-seq analysis revealed the stemness of a specific cluster of B cells in acute lymphoblastic leukemia progression.

Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a common pediatric cancer. The heterogeneous characterization of B cells in ALL progression poses new challenges to researchers. We used single-cell sequencing to explore the critical role of B cells in regulating the ALL immune microenvironment. We collected the single cell (sc) RNA-seq data of ALL and health sample from the gene expression omnibus (GEO) database, the "Seurat" and "harmony" R package was used for quality control and scRNA-seq analysis, in which the CellMarker2.0 database was used for cell type annotation. Subsequently, the FindAllMarkers function was used to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) among various cell types and the DAVID database was applied for the biological process of DEGs. Then, the "inferCNV" package was used for copy number variation, regulons and cell communication were performed by SCENIC tool and CellChat package. The role of the target gene in regulating ALL progression was assessed using RT-qPCR, Transwell and scratch healing assays. We identified nine mainly cell clusters after scRNA-seq analysis, in which the B cells had higher infiltration proportion in the ALL samples and were sub-clustered into five cell sub-groups. The B cells 1 is closely associated with cell proliferation and stemness (TNFAIP3 and KDM5B), and the significant CNV of amplification occurred on chr6 and chr21 that supported stemness of B cells1. RXRB is a key transcription factor mediated the proliferation of B cells 1, which in turn suppressed hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) proliferation and promoted cytotoxic NK/T cells activation through diverse cell communication ways. One of the key regulators of B cells is MYC, which promotes the migration and invasive ability of cell line leukemia cell lines. This study reveals the stemness characteristics of B cells and their critical role in ALL progression, a finding that provides new potential directions for the development of targeted therapies against ALL.

Usage of Social Media and Cultural Identity in Chitral: An Exploration through Mix-Method Approach

Social media is a fast-expanding platform, and considered as a hallmark of 21st century communication and cultural patterns. Rapidly changing cultural trends are observable as the ways of communication and patterns of interaction through social media are playing a pivotal role and its profound impact on cultural identity is evident. Framed under mix-method design, the aim of this study was to investigate the usage of social media and its impact on cultural identity in Chitral, Pakistan. A multifaceted sampling approach was utilized by using purposive and simple random sampling techniques. A well-structured interview schedule for quantitative information and semi- structured interview guide for qualitative information were utilized. The data was analyzed statistically and thematically. Findings shows that social media has a significant impact on cultural patterns and cultural identity in Chitral as the social media has provided an environment with enhanced information and communication means. It facilitated sharing opinions, perceptions, digital images, photographs, and knowledge on various issues of human life including but not limited to academic, social- cultural, spiritual, and business and tourism. On the contrary, acculturation and loss of cultural identity has been found at significant level. Moreover, physical interaction in terms of social isolation has caused considerable impact on psychological wellbeing of people. Qualitative explorations are further required to know about micro level cultural impacts of social media on Chitrali culture.

Classification of Infant Crying Sounds Using SE-ResNet-Transformer

Recently, emotion analysis has played an important role in the field of artificial intelligence, particularly in the study of speech emotion analysis, which can help understand one of the most direct ways of human emotional communication—speech. This study focuses on the emotion analysis of infant crying. Within cries lies a variety of information, including hunger, pain, and discomfort. This paper proposes an improved classification model using ResNet and transformer. It utilizes modified Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) features obtained through feature engineering from infant cries and integrates SE attention mechanism modules into residual blocks to enhance the model’s ability to adjust channel weights. The proposed method achieved 93% accuracy rate in experiments, offering advantages of shorter training time and higher accuracy compared to other traditional models. It provides an efficient and stable solution for infant cry classification.

The Share of Data in Maritime Communications is Increasing

Communication is of great importance for the safe and delay-free navigation of ships. Especially life/property safety, navigational warnings, weather forecast reports, storm warnings, navigation maps, etc. Timely transmission of information to ships is only possible with effective maritime communications. In addition, communication is of great importance in making appropriate navigation plans based on the information received from the ships. In recent years, the share of data communication in individual and corporate communications has been increasing. In order to benefit from the great conveniences and opportunities provided by data communication in maritime communication systems, very radical decisions have recently been taken within IMO. These regulations made at the international level paved the way for data communication in close-range maritime communication systems. In line with these regulations, broadband data communication between the ship and the land will begin to be made via VHF devices in the next few years. Another development that will improve broadband data communication in maritime communication systems has been in Near Orbit Satellite systems. The technical features of these systems, the number of which has been increasing in recent years, are extremely suitable for data communication between ship and land. Among these, the Starlink system completes its network in space faster than other satellite systems. It is inevitable that the Starlink system, whose global satellite structure will be completed to a large extent by the end of 2025, will be used to a large extent in data communication between ships and land and between ships with each other. With the use of broadband data feature in the near future, it will be possible for ships to navigate much more safely, efficiently and with a reduced risk of accidents. For this purpose, maritime enterprises, ship personnel and land units must be informed about these developments and their communication infrastructure must be established by taking these systems into consideration.

Социальная адаптация китайских студентов в России как управленческая проблема

At the present time, there is an increasing need to study modern concepts of adaptation of foreign students in Russia due to the growing number of foreign students in our country. This material is devoted to the reflection of this problem in the works of modern researchers from the point of view of the factors that hinder the increase in the degree of manageability of the adaptation process and the availability of formulated strategies that contribute to the solution of this problem. In this paper, the principle of metasystematization is used to analyze individual works on this problem, and the above strategies are formulated on the basis of these studies in the context of the strategic approach. The paper concludes that modern studies on the adaptation of Chinese students highlight the language barrier, the degree of cultural fatigue, the lack of motivation to adapt to the temporary environment, as well as the differences between Russian and Chinese students in the attitude to social discipline, reactions to social stimuli and etiquette and ritual forms of social interaction as significant factors of maladaptation. It is pointed out that there are myths that hinder the adaptation process, among which are the established ideas about the Chinese unwillingness to actively interact, inability to communicate in a foreign environment and to adopt new ways of learning and communication. In order to increase the degree of manageability of the adaptation process, the authors, based on the modern studies, propose several interrelated strategies: moral-ethical strategy, team-oriented strategy, imagegamification strategy, pragmatic-oriented strategy, and the strategy of social significance. The application of these strategies is aimed at overcoming the factors of Chinese students' maladaptation in Russian society.

Блогер глазами московского студента: образ профессии

Recently, Russia has seen not only a rapid increase in the popularity of blogging, but also clear trends towards its professionalization. The interest in blogging among young people is especially pronounced. In this regard, there is a need to study the perception of blogging as a profession by young people, to form an image of this profession in their minds, to understand its essence and features. In addition, it is important to identify the factors influencing the formation of the image of the blogger's profession in the minds of young people. The article presents the results of a study of the image of the blogger profession in the representations of the student youth of the city of Moscow. Based on the analysis of theoretical approaches to the study of the profession image, the structure of the blogger's profession image was developed, which includes cognitive, emotional, personal and behavioral components. The results of the student survey revealed that the cognitive component of the image of the blogger's profession was not formed clearly enough for the majority of respondents. At the same time, the emotional and personal components are characterized by positive features. The analysis of the behavioral component showed that the majority of respondents have no intention of becoming professional bloggers. Among the factors influencing the formation of the image of the blogger's profession, the most significant were the level of education and the degree of involvement in the blogosphere. A student's level of education influences their perception of blogging as a profession. The higher the student's level of education, the less they perceive blogging as a profession and more as a way of self-expression, communication or entertainment. The degree of involvement in the blogosphere influences the correctness of the image of the blogger's profession in the student's mind. The more a young person is interested in the blogosphere, the more their idea of the blogging profession matches reality. The results of the study indicate that, despite the popularity of blogging among students, their ideas about the profession of a blogger often do not correspond to reality.

A pilot study of microRNAs expression profile in plasma of patients with hydatid disease: potential immunomodulation of hydatid disease.

Echinococcosis is a zoonotic disease, which seriously endangers human health. The immune game between parasite and host is not fully understood. Exosomes are thought to be one of the ways of information communication between parasite and host. In this study, we attempted to explore the communication between Echinococcus granulosus and its host through the medium of exosomes. We collected plasma from E. granulosus patients (CE-EXO) and healthy donors (HD-EXO) and extracted exosomes from the plasma. The expression profile of miRNA in plasma was determined by second generation sequencing. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were used to annotate the function of target genes of differential miRNAs. Meanwhile, we co-cultured plasma exosomes from healthy donors and plasma exosomes from E. granulosus patients with Jurkat T cells with or without phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) stimulation. The expression of CD69 on Jurkat T cells was detected by flow cytometry. The results showed that the miRNA of exosomes between healthy donors and E. granulosus patients was significantly different. GO and KEGG were used to annotate the function of target genes of differential miRNAs. The results indicate that many important pathways are involved in inflammation, metabolism, and immune response after parasite infection, such as p53 signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis. Flow cytometry showed that CE-EXO reduced the expression of CD69 + on Jurkat T cells. Our present results suggest that these differentially expressed miRNAs may be important regulators of parasite-host interactions. Meanwhile, functional prediction of its target genes provides valuable information for understanding the mechanism of host-parasite interactions. These results provide clues for future studies on E. granulosus escape from host immune attack, which could help control E. granulosus infection.

Different ways of understanding communication: From models to a humanistic theory of communication

If the theme of social relations is often impregnated in information and communication sciences, it is generally on the front page of power. How to succeed in human relations is rather a fruitful subject in all political and social intentions. Paradoxically, what unites us divides us is communication: "We can only communicate!", a paraphrase of Watzlawick. It would be equally misleading to believe that there is a situation of uncommunication between two or more people. Is to communicate the desire to exercise an action or an action towards the other person for often interpersonal purposes. For a long time, the term "communication", borrowed from pooling, has been introduced into the vocabulary of institutions for strategic purposes, its use most often stems from an organizational approach of a marketing or even socio-economic nature. Although the authors of communication theories have succeeded each other in competition, each new schema tries to violently beat its predecessors in order to reach the highest degree of generality. The article will begin to circumscribe communication as a complex concept and fashionable value. Secondly, he will visit some research carried out by communication specialists and which has contributed to the development of models leading to what is now called " information and communication theories ". In the course of this archaeological study and in a succinct way, the article will pause on developing axioms and paradigms (context-meaning-construction-noise-feedback) consecutively from the interaction of the three components of a communication situation and in the most stripped-down way (source-message-channel-target).

Tourism Impacts on Local Residents Emotional Solidarity with Tourists: The Case of Mersin

Tourism affects the living conditions of local residents in the destinations where it develops in environmental, economic and sociocultural terms. In particular, the rise in the quality of life due to economic contributions of the sector to the region also affects the perceptions of local individuals towards tourism impacts and the way and level of communication with tourists. Emotional solidarity (ES), which examines the relationship between local residents and tourists in detail, is essential in terms of increasing the contribution to tourism development, the tendency of tourists to visit again, and the income of the region from tourism. Accordingly, the objective of the study was to detect the effects of the positive and adverse impacts of tourism on the ES of local residents with tourists. Regression analysis, correlation analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were conducted to analyze the research data. The research data were collected both face-to-face and online from individuals residing in Mersin province. The positive impacts of tourism were determined to have positive and significant effects on the 3 dimensions of ES, namely welcoming tourists (WT), emotional closeness (EC), and sympathetic understanding (SU). Besides, it was detected that the adverse impacts had an adverse and significant effect only on WT.

Different Culture Means Different Discourse Perception: Personal True-based Story in Light of Face-Threatening Acts

One of the driving motives of language use is to pave the way for communication and understanding. However, sometimes the exclusive use of language cannot help to stream mutual understanding among people who have different cultures which, unfortunately, researchers have not treated in much detail. As such, this study brings to light the essential role of cultural norms and conventions in interaction. Based on a true story, the current study shows that different cultural norms can raise issues that cause misunderstanding and could lead to face threatening acts. This manifests that being aware of the interaction conventions of one’s culture does not necessarily mean that speakers of other cultures will have the same conventions, and what speakers of a certain culture consider to be polite may be considered impolite and trespassing in other cultures.

International students’ experiences in Brisbane during COVID times through a social justice lens

ABSTRACT The article examines the situation of international students living in Brisbane during COVID lockdowns, through a social justice lens. Despite the significant economic contribution of tertiary international students towards the Australian economy, they were excluded from government pandemic support. Help provided by other organisations was limited. International students felt undervalued and excluded, facing challenges due to their lack of income from part-time jobs, mental health issues, constraints in relation to home arrangements, online study, and lack of sense of belonging. Our findings further show that although place was a determinant in the wellbeing of students, social attachment (either spatially or a-spatially) was the most valued support to students. While there has been research on the needs of international students in Australia during lockdowns, no studies yet link these three variables: COVID lockdowns, their effects on international students left in Australia, and considerations of city scale, in a mutually influencing relationship. We followed a qualitative research design, using interviews and focus group discussions with international students and support providers in Brisbane during COVID times. We argue that both distributive and institutional dimensions of justice are important to understand the disadvantaged situation experienced by international students: the institutional COVID restrictions greatly affected students ‘trapped’ in the country, while there was a very limited distribution of resources that did not match the needs of students. We conclude with some recommendations as a result of our research. Practitioner pointers During a global pandemic, government needs to ensure that all people stranded in the country, including international students, are entitled to the same financial assistance. International students should have been consulted about, and appropriately informed through effective ways of communication about the services provided to them during the pandemic. All levels of government and educational institutions dealing with international students, need to fully consult with students and listen to their concerns.
