MANETs Routing Method for Calls with Predefined Duration in Audio/Video Communications

Emergency telepsychiatry is the evaluation and treatment of patients experiencing mental health crises using audio/video communications. Patients in hospital emergency departments (EDs) often experience long waits, delayed treatment, and uncomfortable conditions when in-person psychiatric care is not readily available; prolonged lengths of stay in the ED also increase hospital costs. Telepsychiatry can make psychiatric care more accessible and timely by linking mental health specialists in various locations to patients in EDs. Initial data indicate that the financial investment in emergency telepsychiatry is more than offset by savings in ED and hospital costs. Rapid availability of telepsychiatric consultation also improves the quality of care in EDs and leads to more appropriate and timely dispositions of patients.

Objects in this article refer to sharable applications, such as a whiteboard and a video player, used by multi-users who are in different sites and have computers connected to networks. The objects are important elements in our Internet-based desktop collaborative system, called virtual collaboration room (VCR). We argue that a natural collaborative environment should be developed in a framework of using both a room metaphor and an object metaphor, i.e., emulating the fundamental characteristics of real rooms and real objects, respectively. This article gives the first systematic specifications of object physical and social characteristics, and discusses how to exploit and implement the object characteristics in VCR. A preliminary prototype of platform independent real-time audio/video communications among multiple users is also described. It can be used together with VCR.

This study examined changes in the sentence intelligibility scores of speakers with dysarthria in association with different signal-independent factors (contextual influences). This investigation focused on the presence or absence of iconic gestures while speaking sentences with low or high semantic predictiveness. The speakers were 4 individuals with dysarthria, who varied from one another in terms of their level of speech intelligibility impairment, gestural abilities, and overall level of motor functioning. Ninety-six inexperienced listeners (24 assigned to each speaker) orthographically transcribed 16 test sentences presented in an audio + video or audio-only format. The sentences had either low or high semantic predictiveness and were spoken by each speaker with and without the corresponding gestures. The effects of signal-independent factors (presence or absence of iconic gestures, low or high semantic predictiveness, and audio + video or audio-only presentation formats) were analyzed for individual speakers. Not all signal-independent information benefited speakers similarly. Results indicated that use of gestures and high semantic predictiveness improved sentence intelligibility for 2 speakers. The other 2 speakers benefited from high predictive messages. The audio + video presentation mode enhanced listener understanding for all speakers, although there were interactions related to specific speaking situations. Overall, the contributions of relevant signal-independent information were greater for the speakers with more severely impaired intelligibility. The results are discussed in terms of understanding the contribution of signal-independent factors to the communicative process.

Bahasa anak adalah bahasa yang sangat luas karena pada masa ini anak dibebaskan menyerap semua informasi tanpa ada penyaringan yang bersifat wajib. Banyak orang dewasa yang terpesona melihat kemampuan anak dalam pemerolehan bahasa yang begitu luas. Semua informasi bisa diperoleh anak darimanapun. Akan tetapi dalam proses pemerolehan bahasa, tidak semua anak dapat menerimanya dengan sempurna. Terdapat beberapa anak yang memiliki gangguan berbahasa dalam proses belajarnya. Salah satu penyebab gangguan berbahasa pada anak adalah akibat tidak sempurnanya alat ucap yang dimiliki. Penelitian ini akan membahas penyebab gangguan berbicara pada anak usia 9 tahun akibat alat ucap. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dan memperbaiki gangguan berbahasa yang terjadi akibat alat ucap pada anak. Metode penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan objek penelitian fokus kepada anak laki-laki usia 9 tahun yang memiliki gangguan berbahasa. Data yang diteliti berbentuk audio, video beserta transkrip percakapan antara peneliti dan objek sekaligus kawan tutur dalam percakapan tersebut. Adapun hasil penelitiannya yaitu (1) Gangguan berbahasa pada anak usia 9 tahun yang diucapkan oleh alat ucap adalah ketidaksempurnaan pada bagian laringal, (2) Faktor lingkungan juga dapat menentukan bagaimana alat ucap dapat menjadi gangguan atau sebaliknya yang mendukung proses pemerolehan bahasa.

Die Verabschiedung der EU-Richtlinie zum Urheberrecht und verwandter Schutzrechte im digitalen Binnenmarkt – im Besonderen des Artikels 17 (vormals Artikel 13) – stellt sich für Betreiber von Content-Plattformen als eine neue und hochkomplexe Herausforderung dar. In der Diskussion rund um die Verabschiedung dieser Vorschrift und den damit einhergehenden Protesten wird klar, dass trotz der zahlreichen Berichte in der Realität nur wenig konkretes Wissen über das System Upload-Filter, seine tatsächlichen Auswirkungen und die dahinterliegende Technologie existiert.Grundsätzlich versteht man unter dem Begriff Upload-Filter eine Form von Software, welche (teil-) automatisiert entscheidet, ob eine bestimme Art von Content zu Verfügung gestellt wird oder nicht. Dabei ist es zunächst irrelevant, ob es sich um Text-, Audio-, Video- oder sonstige Arten von Inhalten handelt. Sie dienen also dazu zu filtern, welcher Content vom Plattformbetreiber gewünscht oder nicht gewünscht ist.
