Background Advances in technology allowed the development of a novel smoking cessation program delivered by video messages sent to mobile phones. This social cognitive theory-based intervention (called “STUB IT”) used observational learning via short video diary messages from role models going through the quitting process to teach behavioral change techniques. Objective The objective of our study was to assess the effectiveness of a multimedia mobile phone intervention for smoking cessation.Methods A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 6-month follow-up. Participants had to be 16 years of age or over, be current daily smokers, be ready to quit, and have a video message-capable phone. Recruitment targeted younger adults predominantly through radio and online advertising. Registration and data collection were completed online, prompted by text messages. The intervention group received an automated package of video and text messages over 6 months that was tailored to self-selected quit date, role model, and timing of messages. Extra messages were available on demand to beat cravings and address lapses. The control group also set a quit date and received a general health video message sent to their phone every 2 weeks.ResultsThe target sample size was not achieved due to difficulty recruiting young adult quitters. Of the 226 randomized participants, 47% (107/226) were female and 24% (54/226) were Maori (indigenous population of New Zealand). Their mean age was 27 years (SD 8.7), and there was a high level of nicotine addiction. Continuous abstinence at 6 months was 26.4% (29/110) in the intervention group and 27.6% (32/116) in the control group (P = .8). Feedback from participants indicated that the support provided by the video role models was important and appreciated.Conclusions This study was not able to demonstrate a statistically significant effect of the complex video messaging mobile phone intervention compared with simple general health video messages via mobile phone. However, there was sufficient positive feedback about the ease of use of this novel intervention, and the support obtained by observing the role model video messages, to warrant further investigation.Trial registration Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry Number: ACTRN12606000476538; http://www.anzctr.org.au/trial_view.aspx?ID=81688 (Archived by WebCite at http://www.webcitation.org/5umMU4sZi)

Early studies on the influence of technological advancements on job susceptibility suggested that creative jobs were less inclined to technological displacement. However, as technology becomes more intelligent and capable of producing creative works, there is an increased need to reassess the future of creative jobs. Technological advancements in the media industry have led to a highly competitive market, increasingly characterized by a rise in gig work, precarious working conditions and job losses. There has also been a rise in innovations that substitute work (automation and digitization) and innovations that make work more efficient (Artificial Intelligence), raising the threat of technological job displacement for content creators. This study examined the social, political, economic and technological factors that make content creator jobs vulnerable, proposing a conceptual framework for evaluating their job susceptibility. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis was used to demonstrate the proposed framework based on survey data from content creators. The results confirm that job susceptibility among content creators is shaped by social factors (organisational and leaders’ values, job precarity, occupational wellbeing and skills, knowledge, and ability), technological factors (innovative systems that drive efficiency and new technology driven models of business), political factors (a competitive labour market) and economic factors (emerging and declining occupations, job polarization, wage rates and wage equality, conditions of employment and precarious working conditions). The study makes a contribution to the creative sector, particularly in identifying a framework to determine how technological advancements could affect jobs and market dynamics among content creators. The framework can also assist practitioners, policymakers, and organisations in the creative industries in making informed decisions to mitigate job displacement and navigate the complexities of the shifting creative labour market.

This study aims to describe the hegemonic relationship between Jang Hansol and the other who initiate superiority and mimicry issues on the Korea Reomit channel. Jang Hansol's popularity clearly complements the hegemonic discourse of Korean colonialism in Indonesia, as obviously seen in the form of hybrid culture. The importance of this research lies in the absence of previous studies that examined the relationship between the colonized and the colonizer on YouTube. The researcher sees the presence of binary opposition between Jang Hansol and three content creators who play a role in their respective areas of subordination. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method by dissected three collaborative videos between Jang Hansol and Jerome Polin Sijabat, Alphiandi, and Natya Shina. It is readily apparent that the three videos serve as Jang Hansol's colonial strategy in maintaining his power as the superior while at the same time subjugating the position of the colonized. The findings show two hegemonic relations. First, the hierarchical relation shows that the colonizer expresses speech through native languages to strengthen his position as superior. Second, conflicting relations of the other show that the attempts to imitate the colonizer only produce imperfect imitation. These two relations show the Korean hegemony that has been built between Jang Hansol and the other along the surgin Korean Wave.

We propose new architectures for collaborative video services using software defined networks (SDN) and cloud computing technologies. In the proposed architectures, the video service provider (VSP) is configured as a cloud service. The network service provider (NSP) employs SDN as a cloud service, consisting of a controller cloud and multiple edge network clouds. The proposed centralized and distributed collaborative cloud video services overcome quality of experience (QoE) fluctuations per flow and unfairness between multiple DASH clients employing TCP receive window adaptation over a network slice with reserved capacity as we show that quality of service (QoS) reservation alone is not sufficient to supply fair and steady QoE to all clients. In the centralized approach, the fair-share bitrate of each client is calculated by the traffic engineering module of the NSP, while in the distributed approach the clients collaborate with each other to calculate their own fair shares. Experimental results show that both collaboration architectures perform better than the competitive approach using standard TCP.

Digital technology had a significant impact on our life since the introduction and sophistication of modern days. Medical diagnosis, teaching tools, treatment modalities and surgical techniques were improved significantly with the help of digital technology in the last two decades. Our review study is based on the orthodontic treatment, which is useful to study precisely the study to achieve proper analysis, and perfect diagnosis. It is now commonplace to perform virtual treatment planning as well as translates the plans into treatment execution with digitally driven appliance manufacture and its placement using various CAD/CAM techniques from printed models, indirect bonding trays and custom-made brackets. furthermore, it became more possible to remote monitor treatment and control it. The field of orthodontics in its new era is venturing ahead to more up-to-date technological point of view. Digital technology has a significant effect on our lives ever since the modernization of mobile phones. The advances in technology have remodelled the diagnosis and treatment plan in the field of medicine. Digital workflows are currently increasing in the orthodontic practice and has touched every aspect of orthodontics - with transformations in the documentation, study casts, analysis of a dental malocclusion, smile designing, treatment planning and for fabrication of orthodontic appliances. Three-dimensional imaging of the dentition, skeletal components and the face allows for treatment planning in three dimension and use of computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM) for customization of orthodontic appliances. Software integration of digital models, 3D facial imaging, and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) make it possible to simulate the treatment plan and to attain good communication with the patients. Recent advancement in digital videography has allowed the clinicians to capture patient's speech, oral and pharyngeal function, and smile at the same time [1]. Effective and optimal tooth movement required for the patient can also be monitored with the digitalization. Moreover, this digital platform has created the advantage of accessing the patient's information from any location with the help of cloud-based computing storage systems. These advancements have improved the efficiency, accuracy, consistency, and predictability of the treatment outcomes and have also led to progress in educational component and communication. The digitalization is bringing about a revolutionary change in the field of diagnosis and treatment planning, posing a challenge to clinical efficiency and knowledge.

With recent advances in mobile technologies and e-commerce infrastructures, there have been increasing demands for the expansion of collaboration services within and across systems. In particular, human collaboration requirements should be considered together with those for systems and their components. Agent technologies have been deployed in order to model and implement e-commerce activities as multi-agent systems (MAS). Agents are able to provide assistance on behalf of their users or systems in collaboration services. As such, we advocate the engineering of e-collaboration support by means of MAS in the following three key dimensions: (i) across multiple platforms, (ii) across organization boundaries, and (iii) agent-based intelligent support. To archive this, we present a MAS infrastructure to facilitate systems and human collaboration (or e-collaboration) activities based on the belief-desire-intension (BDI) agent architecture, constraint technology, and contemporary Web Services. Further, the MAS infrastructure also provides users with different options of agent support on different platforms. Motivated by the requirements of mobile professional workforces in large enterprises, the authors present their development and adaptation methodology for e-collaboration services with a case study of constraint-based collaboration protocol from a three-tier implementation architecture aspect. They evaluate our approach from the perspective of three main stakeholders of e-collaboration, which include users, management, and systems developers.

Speech technology in healthcare

Technology use has been of interest to both practitioners and researchers for over a decade; however, the use of information manipulated and rendered by technologies has been largely ignored. One reason for this has been the difficulty in separating information use from technology use. Historically, information technologies have been rather passive, and merely gathered information to inform a human decision maker, which made it difficult to determine if the technology user made use of the information. Recent advances in expert systems technology have enabled the concurrent investigation of technology and information use because expert systems generate explicit courses of action for users to follow, which can be observed. Using an expert system, this empirical study investigated technology and information use to determine their impact on the organisation.

Success of airborne gravity surveys mainly depends on determining the three-dimensional (3D) position of the moving platform. Recent advances in technology, especially the Global Positioning System (GPS), have made it possible to determine the velocity and position of the moving platform more frequently and with greater accuracy. Taking advantage of these advances in GPS technology, and using a newly developed system, helicopter-borne gravity measurements were successfully carried out over the Kanto and Tokai districts of Japan. This new gravimeter system is composed of servo accelerometer sensors, a stabilised platform, an optical-fibre gyroscope to control the stabilised platform, GPS receivers, and a data processor.The 3D position of the helicopter at every second was accurately determined by the interferometric GPS method. These GPS data were also used to compute various correction factors which are applied to the measured gravity acceleration. Real-time differential GPS positioning was also conducted using a separate receiver mounted on the helicopter. These real-time positioning data were used for controlling the optical-fibre gyroscope. The gravity acceleration data were processed and all necessary corrections were applied. Numerical filtering was carried out to remove high-frequency noise in the data. The observed free-air gravity anomalies were then compared with upward continuation of the ground gravity data to the flight altitude. We also compiled an airborne gravity anomaly map from the airborne data, which was compared with upward-continued ground gravity data.

This paper reviews the industry trend and the recent advances in CMOS image sensor technology, covering advances in technology, devices, pixel architecture, as well as on-chip circuit integration. Compatibility with "standard" CMOS technology is an important consideration for CMOS image sensors. We therefore explore the question: "will the image sensing performance of CMOS imagers get better or get worse as CMOS technologies are scaled?" We project that "standard" CMOS technologies cannot be used for imaging in the deep sub-micron regime without some process modifications.

Recent studies have shown that mental script-based rehearsal and simulation-based training improve the transfer of surgical skills in various medical disciplines. Despite significant advances in technology and intraoperative techniques over the last several decades, surgical skills training on neurosurgical operations still carries significant risk of serious morbidity or mortality. Potentially avoidable technical errors are well recognized as contributing to poor surgical outcome. Surgical education is undergoing overwhelming change, as a result of the reduction of work hours and current trends focusing on patient safety and linking reimbursement with clinical outcomes. Thus, there is a need for adjunctive means for neurosurgical training, which is a recent advancement in simulation technology. ImmersiveTouch is an augmented reality system that integrates a haptic device and a high-resolution stereoscopic display. This simulation platform uses multiple sensory modalities, re-creating many of the environmental cues experienced during an actual procedure. Modules available include ventriculostomy, bone drilling, percutaneous trigeminal rhizotomy, and simulated spinal modules such as pedicle screw placement, vertebroplasty, and lumbar puncture. We present our experience with the development of such augmented reality neurosurgical modules and the feedback from neurosurgical residents.
