Abstract:

This theoretical intervention puts forward a concept of ‘digital disengagement’ to discuss new socio-cultural, economic and political demarcations and implications surrounding the relationship between digital media, culture and society. At present, despite a proliferation of calls to reduce both the range of digital devices and communication platforms, and the time spent using them, and despite a growing body of academic work on disconnection or opt-out, disengagement from the digital is still conceptualised by media research as a spatiotemporal or an ideological aberration. To challenge this framework, we propose a paradigmatic shift. We invite digital media scholarship to denaturalise the digital by centring digital disengagement both as a complex phenomenon currently unfolding and as a conceptual entry point into thinking about sociality, agency, rights and everyday life more broadly. Mobilising digital disengagement as a theoretical lens, our piece provides the following: first, we critically assess the prevalent conflation of digitality with social networking, which leads to a limited understanding of disengagement as being only about disconnecting from social media platforms. Second, we challenge the normalisation of the technological in practices of disconnection, arguing instead that disengagement might be structured, but should not be determined, by the technological. Third, we demonstrate that digital disengagement is not a single phenomenon but a complex continuum of practices, motivations and effects. Understood as such, it has the potential to open new ways of imagining relations between technologies and freedoms, engagement and digitality and sociality and refusal.

Abstract:

The 200 Year Continuum is the producer, recorder, and exhibitor in Christian Kerrigan's advancing anthology of narratives. Central to Kerrigan's practice is storytelling and mythmaking as a means of engaging his audience. Kerrigan uses drawing as his primary mode of research into these narratives, which are consequently offered in the form of live internet-feed installations acting as ecological sites, scientific experiments introducing new organic technologies, and digital images of worlds unseen. Each addition acts as a “middle story” within The 200 Year Continuum. In his narrative, The Amber Clock, a ship is grown in the yew forest of Kingley Vale over a period of 200 years. The narrative explores the possibilities of time in relationship to technology and the natural world. In his narrative, artificial and wild systems are choreographed, and the natural production of resin is harvested from the yew trees as a way of measuring time.

Abstract:

Spatial data infrastructure (SDI) is a system that supports the management and use of geospatial data and related resources. It involves the creation and maintenance of a network of organizations, people, and technology that enables the sharing of geospatial data across sectors and stakeholders. In recent years, the growth of geospatial data and the increasing reliance on it by various sectors has led to the emergence of new trends in SDI, such as the use of cloud computing and big data analytics, the integration of geospatial data with other types of data, and the emphasis on open data and data interoperability. Volunteered geographic information (VGI) refers to geospatial data that is collected and contributed by individuals or groups, rather than traditional sources using the application of web 2.0 and location based applications, social media, mobile devices or say citizens as the censors. Crowdsourcing in geospatial data generation concept of VGI has changed the traditional concept of SDI having one way relationship as producers and users to the user driven SDI, where user create diverse, high quality data (spatial, temporal, attribute) and also use the data interoperable, transparently, world widely and free of cost. Various authors have discussed about the application of VGI in the world of the digital data and also point outs the possibility of integration of VGI in SDI as the starting of the new generation of SDI in the form of Global GIS platform, Data Spaces, System of Systems (SoS), Geoverse, Digital Earth, Digital Twin, Virtual Geographic Environment (VGEs). However, there exists multiple VGI challenges such as data quality, data structure, data differentiation, data copyright, and data confidentiality and privacy, but with the proper cooperation and partnerships, policy and legal arrangements, standard developments, financial arrangements, inter/intra communication and added advantages of web 3.0, concept of Global Digital Ecosystem containing Geoverse, SDI and SoS is possible. Hence, VGI is the present and also the future in this SDI continuum.

Abstract:

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges to the maritime supply chain and called for accelerated adoption of digital technologies in various aspects of maritime operations, including the area of maritime education and training (MET). This paper aims to discuss the current maritime simulator-based training and educational practices that forms an integral part in seafarer training and competency development. The study provides a review of the existing simulators in use in MET, and discusses upon the technological and pedagogical advancement of maritime simulator-based training interventions with predictions regarding the future MET practices with use of virtual reality and cloud-based simulators. This study—by focusing on ship’s bridge operations—highlights the characteristics of various types of simulators and also discusses the role of instructors, challenges, and opportunities involving future simulator-based MET due to accelerated adoption of digital technologies and the need to comply with pandemic-related restrictions for MET institutes. The analysis generated in the paper may contribute to the ongoing discussion regarding the future of simulator-based MET and the fulfillment of the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 in the maritime sector.

Abstract:

This paper deals with the constructive design of an innovative and low-cost mechanical ventilator to aid respiration for acute COVID19 patients by improving the Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (PEEP). The rise in mortality due to COVID19 pandemic is unprecedented and this is mainly due to severe deterioration of the respiratory system including inflammation of lung and respiratory tract leading to acute respiratory distress. Although ventilators are mostly used in the continuum of care as solution to this challenge, their design requires some specific considerations, sophisticated electronics and software systems that are often outside of the financial wherewithal of the world’s most vulnerable. These ventilators are often high-end and technological advanced devices that although convenient, come at high cost and may be out of the financial reach of the world’s most vulnerable to the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic. This paper provides the design for a simplified, relatively affordable, and specifically targeted devices to help deal with the COVID-19 effects on the respiratory tract. The design of a low-cost novel mechanical ventilator is considered in this paper. The components of the fabrication and design as well as the steps taken to actualize the artefact are discussed. The SMALLWOOD design does not require any electronic components and can be deployed in the most deprived areas in the world where access to electricity is nonexistent. Keywords: COVID19, Ventilator, Respiratory Tract, Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (PEEP)

Abstract:

Abstract This article examines the semiotic implications of social media interactive processes established when Facebook profiles are memorialized following the user’s death. It also observes the communication processes that occur through the deceased’s contacts interactions with the virtual memorial page. It points to Facebook’s symbolic and systemic organization structure role in creating a specific comprehension of online and offline identities in the social media environment. The theoretical framework focuses on C. S. Peirce’s signs and semiosis studies to help understand the communication’s phenomenology revealed in this context as well as the process of continuity of the physical life through its symbolic representations on digital networks.

Abstract:

Up until recently, learning affordances (possibilities) offered by immersive digital technology in education, such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), were addressed and considered in isolation in educational practice. In the past five to ten years this has shifted towards a focus on integrating digital affordances around particular learning contexts and/or settings, creating a mixed reality (MR) ‘continuum’ of digital experiences based on the combination of different technologies, tools, platforms and affordances. This idea of a ‘digital continuum’ was first proposed during the mid 1990s by Milgram and Kishino (1994), conceptualised as an immersive continuum going from the real environment (RE) end, where no digital immersion exists in the real world, all the way to the fully digitally immersive VR end, where digital immersion is at its full. Recent literature expands the original digital continuum view – rooted in Milgram and Kishino (1994), to now consider MR environments extending to a multi-variety of sensorial dimensions, technological tools and networked intelligent platforms, and embodied user engagement modes, creating interconnected learning ecosystems and modes of perception (see for example Mann et al., 2018; and Speicher, Hall & Nebeling, 2019). This new approach to MR is referred to as XR, where the X generally stands for ‘extended reality’ (referring to all the points along the MR continuum and beyond), or for ‘anything reality’ (accounting for the range of existing immersive technologies and denoting the imminently yet-to-come new digital affordances). XR as a multi-dimensional immersive learning environment can be approached and understood as a dynamic and culturally-responsive ‘medium’, offering targeted, flexible and adaptable user experiences coming from user-centric learning design strategies and pedagogy (Aguayo, Eames & Cochrane, 2020). Today, XR as an emergent learning approach in education invites us to re-conceptualise technology-enhanced learning from a completely different epistemological stand. We have moved from focusing on the individual and isolated use of immersive digital technology like AR and VR as ‘learning tools’ that can enhance and augment learning experiences and outcomes in education; to now going beyond hardware and software and consider perception, cognition, aesthetics, emotions, haptics, embodiment, contexts (space), situations (time), and culture, among others, as critical components of a purposefully designed XR learning ecosystem (Aguayo et al., 2020; Liu et al., 2017; Maas & Hughes, 2020). Imagine the educational possibilities when artificial intelligence (AI) learning algorithms connected to internet of things (IoT) devices come into play with XR in education (Cowling & Birt, 2020; Davies, 2021). The challenge remains in knowing how to ground such epistemological and technological innovation into authentic, contextual, and tangible practice, while facilitating the balancing with non-technology mediated lived experiences in the real world (i.e. real reality (RR), Aguayo, 2017). Here, a set of XR research and practice case studies from Auckland University of Technology’s AppLab are presented to showcase and discuss how XR as a new paradigm is leading the exploration of digital innovation in education.

Abstract:

The article explores meaning-making by investigating the subject-object relation and human-machine intra-action within the context of archive and archiving practices. It discusses changing relations between humans, machines, and objects in changing technological environments. Entering the digital archive’s cosmos, the subject-object relation transfers the focus on human-machine intra-action. The article examines the thingness of digital objects and the role of search engines in generating data collections as prerequisites for the intelligibility of the entangled parts. In digital flowness, search engines provoke a stasis in the constant movement of information, creating ephemeral collections. Thus, meaning emerges as a temporal pause within the ongoing continuum. The article argues that in the processual continuum of movement-stasis, meaning is a process – always a momentum, always stillborn, thus, intelligible to both the human and the machine. Conceiving meaning as a process within the condition of digital flowness signifies the transcendence of content in favor of processual entanglements between the human and the machine.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to obtain the digital twin parameters of the thyroid gland and to build a constitutional model of the thyroid gland based on continuum mechanics, which will lay the foundation for the establishment of a surgical training system for the thyroid surgery robot and the development of the digital twin of the thyroid gland. First, thyroid parenchyma was obtained from fresh porcine thyroid tissue and subjected to quasi-static unconfined uniaxial compression tests using a biomechanical test platform with two strain rates (0.005 s−1 and 0.05 s−1) and two loading orientations (perpendicular to the thyroid surface and parallel to the thyroid surface). Based on this, a tensile thyroid model was established to simulate the stretching process by using the finite element method. The thyroid stretching test was carried out under the same parameters to verify the validity of the hyperelastic constitutive model. The quasi-static mechanical property parameters of the thyroid tissue were obtained by a quasi-static unconstrained uniaxial compression test, and a constitutional model that can describe the quasi-static mechanical properties of thyroid tissue was proposed based on the principle of continuum media mechanics, which is of great value for the establishment of a surgical training system for the head and neck surgery robot and for the development of the thyroid digital twin.

Abstract:

In the past 5-10 years, there has been a move to integrate different digital and immersive learning technologies around a particular context or setting following what is known as mixed reality (MR, also known as XR). XR involves the fusing of real and virtual worlds along an immersion continuum, to create integrated environments that incorporate physical and digital elements, tools, and objects (Milgram & Kishino, 1994; Speicher et al., 2019). These environments can be especially beneficial within learning contexts as they can connect learners and communities to locations, and provide opportunities for genuine investigations in the real world (Liu et al., 2017). Although digital technologies provide many unique and powerful affordances for education, the non-digital and handmade have much potential that the digital currently does not have. They can also enhance the meaningfulness of XR experiences (Sharma et al., 2017; Smith, 2018). Despite this, within XR education, the role of the non-digital and handmade has been previously dismissed, and there has been a lack of attention paid to developing and designing the ‘real environment’ (RE) end of the reality continuum within XR (Aguayo, 2017). Non-digital materials can engage learners in authentic and rich haptic sensory experiences in ways that digital technology currently cannot achieve in affordable and immediate ways. The non-digital and handmade within XR can also provide learners with deeper and more evocative experiences with materials/materiality, and provide more connection to handmade and human centered concepts through the aesthetics of craft and artisanal processes. Furthermore, when considered in a continuum of different types of experiences, handmade materials in XR can be fused with digital tools, complementing and merging the real and virtual around educational experiences and practice (Aguayo et al., 2020). This can enhance overall learning, allowing learners to benefit from the merging of different types of affordances that non-digital and digital both offer, along an experiential XR continuum. This presentation posits some ways forward for the non-digital and handmade to be designed for and engaged with in XR education. We also open up a discussion around the potential of the non-digital and handmade to develop a deeper sense of ‘authenticity’ and meaningfulness in XR education design. This discussion is framed through some theories and interpretations of philosopher Walter Benjamin (Benjamin, 2010; Leslie, 1998; Zoran & Buechley, 2013), indigenous perspectives and worldviews, and current discourse in design around the importance of handmade processes. Through the inclusion of handmade elements, a more ‘human’, ‘organic’ and somaesthetic sensibility can be fostered in XR education (Smith-Harvey & Aguayo, 2021). We postulate that enhancing this sense of the ‘organic’, as well as handmade and craft based aesthetics can be of especial benefit within XR education design which looks to connect learners to the natural world, indigenous epistemologies, and human centered concepts, memories and experiences. We also put forth an argument for considering the non-digital, haptic and handmade within other forms of digital learning environments. This is especially pertinent given the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting move towards online and blended learning environments across Aoteraoa New Zealand and the rest of the world.

Abstract:

Abstract This work studies the relationship between accretion-disk size and quasar properties, using a sample of 95 quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project with measured lags between the g and i photometric bands. Our sample includes disk lags that are both longer and shorter than predicted by the Shakura and Sunyaev model, requiring explanations that satisfy both cases. Although our quasars each have one lag measurement, we explore the wavelength-dependent effects of diffuse broad-line region (BLR) contamination through our sample’s broad redshift range, 0.1 < z < 1.2. We do not find significant evidence of variable diffuse Fe ii and Balmer nebular emission in the rms spectra, nor from Anderson–Darling tests of quasars in redshift ranges with and without diffuse nebular emission falling in the observed-frame filters. Contrary to previous work, we do not detect a significant correlation between the measured continuum and BLR lags in our luminous quasar sample, similarly suggesting that our continuum lags are not dominated by diffuse nebular emission. Similar to other studies, we find that quasars with larger-than-expected continuum lags have lower 3000 Å luminosities, and we additionally find longer continuum lags with lower X-ray luminosities and black hole masses. Our lack of evidence for diffuse BLR contribution to the lags indicates that the anticorrelation between continuum lag and luminosity is not likely to be due to the Baldwin effect. Instead, these anticorrelations favor models in which the continuum lag increases in lower-luminosity active galactic nuclei, including scenarios featuring magnetic coupling between the accretion disk and X-ray corona, and/or ripples or rims in the disk.

Abstract:

The paper considers one of the possible numerical approachs for describing mechanical behavior of heterogeneous media based on modelling of the structure using computed tomograghy data. The proposed approach allows us to model the mechanical behavior of a porous medium taking into account the structure properties. At the first stage of the study, sample is scanned by computed tomography, then the data is digitized and digital prototype is built. This prototype with corresponding weights is used in the forming the local stiffness matrices for finite element method. The integration of stiffness matrices carried out by the central rectangles method. The effect of tomographic data density on the convergence of the proposed numerical method was investigated. The results of solving a typical problem for the diaphysis of the femur are given. The obtained numerical results reflect the influence of the accuracy of approximation of the sample geometry, and also illustrate the dependence of the displacement field on the structure of the material.

Abstract:

Abstract Digital health tools extend well beyond telemedicine, holding great potential to advance oncological care. We survey digital health and provide recommendations across the health continuum, tailoring them to oncology, including prevention, detection and diagnosis, and treatment and monitoring. Within the prevention realm, we review wellness technologies, cancer screening, mental health solutions, and digital biomarkers. For detection and diagnosis, we describe existing and emerging solutions for remote patient monitoring and various means to capture digital biomarkers, the “digital exam,” and “digital outcomes.” Treatment and monitoring solutions include telemedicine, chatbots, and digital therapeutics, which are also explored. We also discuss a host of technology enablers that are required for successful implementation and sustainment of digital health–enabled care. Our recommendations pertain to health care systems as well as companies that work with these systems or provide care to patients directly.

Abstract:

A 3D equivalent continuum coupling analysis of the slope of the Zhouning pumped storage power station was proposed in this study. Firstly, the hydraulic properties of rock mass, groundwater, and deformation mechanism under high-frequency fluctuations of the water level are analyzed. Secondly, the three-dimensional Digital Terrain Model (DTM) with surface image information was established by digital photogrammetry technology for cataloging field fracture information. Third, stress-seepage coupling simulation using a hybrid grid approach and the FLAC3D equivalent continuum model was implemented. The results show that the permeability of rock mass is stress-dependent and anisotropic, and the direction of maximum principal permeability of both bank slopes is approximately parallel to the river. Slope deformations induced by impoundment during the operation period are the superposition results of two mechanisms, referred to as “mattress effect” and “swelling effect.” Attention should be paid to the tensile strength of the rock mass during operation.

Abstract:

The combined trends of learner-centred teaching and ubiquitous technology use in the classroom have given instructors a unique opportunity to support students in developing lifelong learning skills. Heutagogy (or self-determined learning) provides a promising framework for capitalizing on these developing trends, drawing on established learner-centred education theories that strongly emphasize learner autonomy. The key principles of heutagogy – learner agency, self-efficacy and capability, reflection and metacognition, and non-linear learning – provide a foundation for designing and developing learning ecologies, the potential of which can be further maximized through the use of digital media. This article describes the theory of heutagogy and the learner-centred pedagogies on which the theory is founded, as well as providing an explanation of the pedagogy-andragogy-heutagogy (PAH) continuum and its use in developing student skills. It also explores the role of social media in supporting the development of those skills.

Abstract:

Purpose The Information Age during the transition from the paper era to the digital one saw the fracturing and fragmenting of the information-based specialisations. More recently, professional norms for governance have been swept aside within new business models based on information based business applications. This paper aims to support an advance towards networked cohesion based on informatics, regenerating professionalism for the complex networked age. Design/methodology/approach New regulatory approaches will have to manage monistic diversity, connecting the deeper logic of continuum thinking in which information governance exists as part of a simple whole (the monistic component) with a recognition that the parts of information governance are much more complex than the whole (the expanding diversity). A continuum approach of this type involves studying things in motion as part of evolutionary processes. Findings The production of information is galloping ahead of its authoritative management, and this is at the heart of many of the failings of the post-truth information era. Informatics with its emphasis upon the joint operation of technologies, social processes and knowledge forming and its ability to be an umbrella term for many specialisations can be a cohering force. Practical implications The alignment of thought, action and ethical information governance across inter-connected practices for individuals, groups and organisations can be supported by the deeper logic and grounded experience of continuum thinking.

Abstract:

We consider two ‘comprehensive’ modelling approaches for engineering fabrics. We distinguish the two approaches using the terms ‘semi-discrete’ and ‘continuum’, reflecting their natures. We demonstrate a fitting procedure, used to identify the constitutive parameters of the continuum model from predictions of the semi-discrete model, the parameters of which are in turn fitted to experimental data. We, then, check the effectiveness of the continuum model by verifying the correspondence between semi-discrete and continuum model predictions using test cases not previously used in the identification process. Predictions of both modelling approaches are compared against full-field experimental kinematic data, obtained using stereoscopic digital image correlation techniques, and also with measured force data. Being a reduced order model and being implemented in an implicit rather than an explicit finite-element code, the continuum model requires significantly less computational power than the semi-discrete model and could therefore be used to more efficiently explore the mechanical response of engineering fabrics.

Abstract:

Today, science and its technological application have become determinants of the development of society, its cognition and transformation in line with the growth of knowledge. It becomes a condition for the formation of scientific thinking, which today stands in the mode of technical or technological thinking. The current stage of the scientific and technological revolution is related to the development of information and digital technologies, which are the factors in the formation of information thinking, segment and part of technological thinking. Information technology creates a new intellectual space, where so-called information thinking is the main way of cognition and communication.

Abstract:

Este artículo propone analizar la poética electrónica en un contexto latinoamericano y dentro de una tradición literaria hispánica. El artículo parte de la hipótesis de que los nuevos géneros ciberliterarios existen en constante diálogo con una tradición arraigada de experimentación literaria en América Latina: varios de los géneros ciberliterarios emergentes, tales como la poesía-twitter, la novela-hipertexto, o el blog literario, dialogan con movimientos literarios precursores como la poesía concretista, los caligramas, el testimonio, la crónica, y muchos otros. El artículo ofrece un análisis comparativo de dos obras de poética electrónica hispanoamericana que dialogan con movimientos literarios precursores. Se enfoca en particular en la obra colaborativa Women: Memory of Repression in Argentina (2003) y en Radikal Karaoke de Belén Gache (2011), y propone entender estas obras como parte de un continuum de posibles negociaciones entre tecnologías digitales y géneros literarios establecidos. This article aims to analyse electronic poetry in a Latin American context, and as part of a Hispanic literary tradition. The article starts off from the premise that new digital literary genres exist in a constant dialogue with a long-standing tradition of literary experimentation in Latin America. It argues that many of the emerging digital literary genres, such as twitter-poetry, hypertext novels, or literary blogs, dialogue with prior literary movements or genres such as concrete poetry, caligrammes, testimonios, crónicas, and much more. Within this context, the article offers a comparative analysis of two works of electronic poetry from Latin American which dialogue with prior literary movements. It focuses in particular on the collective piece, Women: Memory of Repression in Argentina (2003) and Radikal Karaoke by Belén Gache, and aims to understand both of these works as on a continuum of possible negotiations between digital technologies and established literary genres.

Abstract:

The use of embedded processors is the most promising direction in the development of automatic control systems. The article is devoted to analog models and technical solutions that allow continuous analysis of information in a technical system in order to synthesize control signals. Technical solutions are obtained on the basis of continuum logic methods, which aim to increase the speed of embedded computing networks, reduce power consumption, and unify the element base of analog processors. The effect of high speed is achieved due to the transition from sequential digital calculations to parallel synthesis of analog control signals. Examples of the implementation of schemes for the synthesis of control commands using the developed models of logical operations are given.

Abstract:

In this Insights essay, we propose a new concept of offlineness that builds on current language around digital practices, yet addresses an element of young people’s experience that is not adequately represented in current research or educational discourse. This work is informed by a recent cross-national arts-based research project that highlighted the limitations of the discourse ascribed to the nature of young people’s engagement with digital literacies. We propose a (re)theorization, which builds on a critical review of current conceptual research and digital commentaries. Theorizing offlineness as a continuum between online and offline practices is tantamount to a paradigm shift toward more nuanced understandings of young people’s digital practices. It offers researchers and educators a more precise way to speak to young people’s digital experiences, providing a productive tool to (re)construct learning and inquiry spaces in literacy research and education.

This essay explores the American Sound Serial film as part of a continuum to which digital gaming may also belong. By drawing on concepts derived from the study of video games, this study broadens our understanding of youth-oriented films produced in Hollywood from the 1930s to the mid 1950s. In turn, this provides a new vantage on continuities between old and new serial forms, and sheds light on digital gaming’s pre-history.

Abstract:

This research article delineates the development of a sustainable digital transformation model aimed at improving the educational landscape from primary through tertiary levels in Bangladesh. Given the digital revolution's significant role in modern education, it is crucial for countries to adapt and transform their educational models to ensure a future-ready generation. Our approach focuses on secondary data and document analysis, enabling us to draw insights from existing reports, studies, and educational policies. The first section of the paper examines the current state of digital infrastructure in Bangladesh's education system, identifying areas where digital technology has yet to be fully integrated or utilized. It provides an assessment of the challenges, including socio-economic factors, rural-urban disparities, and infrastructure limitations that may hinder the digital transformation process. Following this, the paper introduces a comprehensive, scalable, and sustainable model for digital transformation. This model is premised on robust digital infrastructure, inclusive digital pedagogy, capacity building among educators, and a policy framework that encourages innovation while ensuring equal access to digital education resources. The paper concludes by highlighting how this model can significantly enhance the quality and reach of education in Bangladesh. It also provides a roadmap for similar low-to-middle-income countries embarking on their digital transformation journey in education. Through our research, we aim to promote an inclusive, sustainable, and digitally-enabled education system that leaves no one behind, adhering to the global Sustainable Development Goals.

Abstract:

This study suggests that the tolerance of newspaper editors for computer manipulation depends on the category of photographs. Editors differ significantly in their tolerance level of computer manipulation of spot news, feature, and photo illustrations. In a survey experiment among 677 newspaper editors, results suggest that editors use a continuum of photo categories. Editors are intolerant of altering spot -news photos, but much more tolerant of altering soft-news photos such as feature photos and photo illustrations.

Abstract:

A Digital Twin (DT) refers to a virtual representation or digital replica of a physical object, system, process, or entity. This concept involves creating a detailed, real-time digital counterpart that mimics the behavior, characteristics, and attributes of its physical counterpart. DTs have the potential to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance decision-making by providing a detailed, real-time understanding of the physical systems they represent. While this technology is finding application in numerous fields, such as energy, healthcare, and transportation, it appears to be a key component of the digital transformation of industries fostered by the fourth Industrial revolution (Industry 4.0). In this paper, we present the research results achieved by IoTwins, a European research project aimed at investigating opportunities and issues of adopting DTs in the fields of industrial manufacturing and facility management. Particularly, we discuss a DT model and a reference architecture for use by the research community to implement a platform for the development and deployment of industrial DTs in the cloud continuum. Guided by the devised architectures’ principles, we implemented an open platform and a development methodology to help companies build DT-based industrial applications and deploy them in the so-called Edge/Cloud continuum. To prove the research value and the usability of the implemented platform, we discuss a simple yet practical development use case.

Abstract:

To some, person centered medicine and digital health would appear incompatible. The digital divide, the lack of person-centered data in algorithms, the concept of rule-oriented robots replacing fallible but morally human clinicians, the stress caused by electronic health records, and problems with privacy and data security are real concerns. But digital technologies needed to be understood as tools that can support or improve person-centered care across the continuum of disease, from purely provider-centered tools to purely person-centered ones. This reflective piece attempts to reconcile the apparent differences between the concurrent revolutions in person centered medicine and advanced technology so that they can benefit each other.

Abstract:

The relationship between literature and social networking sites (SNS) is a material context in which authors and readers merge into each other to create a literary communicative process that transforms contemporary politics. The aim of this paper is to analyse the communicative process by investigating the continuum between matter and discourse from a new materialist approach. From social sites, we can understand how elements, such as readers, authors, context, novels, culture and digital platforms, “intra-act” (Barad 2007) to create an affecting/ed communicative process. We propose feminist new materialism as a theoretical terrain that helps to reconfigure politics and communication in order to build a methodological framework for contemporary feminist politics and theory related to Literature. Using a digital genealogy and the theory of new materialism, we identify communication in literature as a trapping force in which different elements intra-act with each other and become indivisible. Affecting/ed communication is a dynamic conceptualization, a literary activity in which active agents participate in creative spaces for future social changes.

Abstract:

Abstract Correlations between the variations of quasar absorption lines and the ionizing continuum have been confirmed recently in systematic studies. However, no convincing individual case is reported. We present a statistical analysis of the variable C iv broad absorption line (BAL) in the quasar SDSS J141007.74+541203.3, which has been observed with 44 epochs by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 14. Grier et al. have concluded that the most likely cause of the variability of the BAL in SDSS J141007.74+541203.3 is a rapid response to changes in the incident ionizing continuum. In this paper, we confirm the anticorrelation between the equivalent width of BALs and the flux of the continuum based on the spectra of this quasar, which show significant variations. This serves as further independent evidence for the conclusions of Grier et al.

Images are being obtained in Hα, [S II] λλ 6717, 6731, and [O III] λ 5007, plus red and green continuum bands for star subtraction. Data from the 1996–97 season have been assembled into large mosaic images which reveal the rich variety of nebulosity in the SMC in unprecedented detail. These are providing definitive samples of the active, occasionally violent, ISM on scales including superbubbles, wind-blown bubbles, supernova remnants, H II regions, and planetary nebulae.

Abstract:

Abstract We investigate the connection between the intrinsic C iv absorption line variability and the continuum flux changes of broad absorption line (BAL) quasars using a sample of 78 sources in the Stripe 82 region. The absorption trough variability parameters are measured using the archival multi-epoch spectroscopic data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), and the continuum flux variability parameters are estimated from the photometric light curves obtained by the SDSS and the Catalina Real-Time Survey surveys. We find evidence for weak correlations (ρs ∼ 0.3) between the intrinsic C iv absorption line variability and the quasar continuum variability for the final sample of 78 BAL quasars. The correlation strengths improve (ρs ∼ 0.5) for the ‘high-signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)’ sample sources that have higher spectral SNR. Using two subsets of the high-SNR sample differing on the absorption trough depth, we find that the shallow-trough subset shows an even stronger correlation (ρs ∼ 0.6), whereas the deep-trough subset does not show any correlation between the absorption line variability and the continuum variability. These results point to the important role of saturation effects in the correlation between the absorption line variability and the continuum variability of BAL quasars. Considering other effects that can also smear the correlation, we conclude that the actual correlation between the absorption line and continuum variability is even stronger.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT We present a novel intelligent quasar continuum neural network (iQNet), predicting the intrinsic continuum of any quasar in the rest-frame wavelength range of $1020 \, {\mathring{\rm A}}\le \lambda _{\text{rest}} \le 1600 \, {\mathring{\rm A}}$. We train this network using high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope/Cosmic Origin Spectrograph ultraviolet quasar spectra at low redshift (z ∼ 0.2) from the Hubble Spectroscopic Legacy Archive (HSLA), and apply it to predict quasar continua in different astronomical surveys. We utilize the HSLA quasar spectra that are well defined in the rest-frame wavelength range of [1020, 1600] Å with an overall median signal-to-noise ratio of at least 5. The iQNet model achieves a median absolute fractional flux error of 2.24 per cent on the training quasar spectra, and 4.17 per cent on the testing quasar spectra. We apply iQNet and predict the continua of ∼3200 Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 16 quasar spectra at higher redshift (2 < z ≤ 5) and measure the redshift evolution of mean transmitted flux (〈F〉) in the Ly α forest region. We measure a gradual evolution of 〈F〉 with redshift, which we characterize as a power-law fit to the effective optical depth of the Ly α forest. Our measurements are broadly consistent with other estimates of 〈F〉 in the literature but provide a more accurate measurement as we are directly measuring the quasar continuum where there is minimum contamination from the Ly α forest. This work proves that the deep learning iQNet model can predict the quasar continuum with high accuracy and shows the viability of such methods for quasar continuum prediction.

Abstract:

Parents make important vaccination decisions for their children and many variables affect parents’ decisions to accept or decline vaccines. Parents are tasked with locating, understanding, and applying information to inform health decisions often using online resources; however, the digital health literacy levels of parents are unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate parents’ digital health literacy levels, their sources for vaccine information, and analyze how demographics, digital health literacy, health literacy, parental attitudes and vaccine beliefs, trust, and vaccine information sources predict vaccine acceptance. Quantitative findings of a mixed methods study that examined parental vaccine decision making across the continuum of vaccine hesitant to vaccine accepting is reported. An online survey of parents of young children living in Ontario, Canada was conducted in 2022. Multiple linear regression determined predictors of vaccine acceptance. 219 participants completed the survey and on average reported adequate digital health literacy skill. Healthcare providers were reported as the most commonly used source of vaccine information. Two models were retained that predicted vaccine acceptance, both models predicted about 50% of the variability in vaccine acceptance. Model A identified that trust predicted parent vaccine acceptance and model B identified that digital health literacy, and the vaccine information sources healthcare providers, family and friends, and alternate healthcare providers predicted vaccine acceptance. Family and friends and alternate healthcare providers negatively predicted vaccine acceptance. Most parents in our study had high levels of digital health literacy. Opportunities exist for further research and policy change focused on trust at a systemic public health level. While clinical level implications included the importance of healthcare providers as a vaccine information source and adequate digital health literacy to facilitate parental vaccine decision making. Continued efforts to develop awareness on the importance of digital health literacy among the public and healthcare providers is needed, including further research on the digital health literacy levels of Canadians.

Abstract:

As medical science advances and the population ages, the prevalence of chronic conditions has also grown. The traditional model of care, with its focus on acute and episodic issues within the office visit, is not designed to meaningfully address long-term patient needs. With COVID-19 has come unprecedented digital adoption, bringing health care delivery to a critical juncture. While digital tools and technologies present vast opportunities for democratizing and decentralizing care experiences, their piecemeal application to the existing “sick care” model and its information technology infrastructure will not only limit their value, but will inevitably add cost, inefficiency, and burden to care teams. In order to build upon this momentum and reap the full benefits of practice digitization, care model transformation must occur. This entails holistically reexamining how every component of the health care experience, from the digital tools to visit interactions, synchronizes to address the full continuum of patient needs throughout the journey. By doing this, care shifts away from one-size-fits-all, fragmented strings of visits, toward seamless experiences that adapt to patients’ needs in real-time while integrating within their daily lives. Rather than acting as a substitute for care, technology instead is vital to promoting and amplifying the impact of all those involved. To achieve this, this paper outlines 10 principles for restructuring care to incorporate digital health capabilities. Each describes how all care model components work as a system that aligns with patient needs. By doing this, technology is now an integral in supporting relationships across the full continuum of care.

Abstract:

Introduction It remains a huge challenge to identify individual rehabilitation needs in a time-efficient manner for providing patient-tailored rehabilitation during the continuum of stroke care. We have recently demonstrated the usefulness of a paper-version Rehab-Compass as a follow-up tool. The aim of the current study was to develop a digital version of the Rehab-Compass and evaluate its usability and feasibility. Methods The novel digital tool Rehabkompassen® was developed by an iterative and participatory design process. Patients’ rehabilitation needs were visualized by the tool and used before, during, and after the consultation. The usability and feasibility of the tool was assessed by task completion rate, the System Usability Scale, and satisfaction questionnaires among 2 physicians and 24 adult stroke patients in an outpatient clinical setting. Results Rehabkompassen® identified and graphically visualized a panoramic view of the stroke patients’ multidimensional needs in individual- and group levels. The instrument appeared to be feasible and time efficient in clinical use with a 100% overall task completion rate for both patients and physicians. A majority of the patients reported that it was very easy or fairly easy to answer the digital questionnaires and to understand their own digital Rehab-Compass graph. Two physicians reported a high mean score on the System Usability Scale (95/100) and were positive about using the tool in the future. Conclusions The current results indicated that Rehabkompassen® was a feasible, useful, and time-saving follow-up tool for the identification of rehabilitation needs among stroke survivors in the post-acute continuum of care after stroke. Further research is needed to evaluate the efficacy of the digital instrument among stroke patients.

Abstract:

This study aims to analyze the digital transformation of changing rural economy towards a digital society. Qualitative research methods were used, including 50 participants and in-depth interview informants, with participatory observation, policy analysis, and three series of focus group discussions both in person and online. The study found that internet intervention significantly impacts collective behaviour and improves MSMEs development. Referring to the continuum theory of Gemeinschaft-Gesellschaft, the study showed that these changes result in the formation of a ‘Neue Gemeinschaft’. Rural MSMEs are entering a new era due to the adoption of digital technology by businesses that support and exhibit characteristics such as the intensity of the use of internet networks, the ability to conduct digital transactions, and the preservation of village social values. Theoretically and empirically, the research indicates that digital transformation is driven by a change in collective behaviour around technology use, followed by inclusive rural digital economy.
