This chapter introduces the book’s overarching questions: How do journalists conceptualize their audiences? Who gets included in these conceptualizations, and who is left out? Perhaps most important, how aligned are journalism’s “imagined” audiences with the real ones? It also introduces the book’s ethnographic data, collected from three news organizations: the Chicago Tribune, City Bureau, and Hearken. Both the Tribune and City Bureau publish news, while Hearken offers tools and services to newsrooms interested in improving their relationship with their audiences. Each has its own distinct take on what people expect from news, which leads all three to chart remarkably different paths in their shared quest to make high-quality, valuable, and publicly appreciated journalism. Taken together, these data reveal how journalists’ assumptions about their audiences shape their approaches to their audiences.

In this paper Enhanced Spider (ES) algorithm is proposed to solve reactive power Problem. Enthused by the spiders, a new Enhanced Spider (ES) algorithm is utilized to solve reactive power problem. The composition is primarily based on the foraging approach of social spiders, which make use of of the vibrations spread over the spider web to choose the position of prey. The simulation results demonstrate high-quality performance of Enhanced Spider (ES) algorithm in solving reactive power problem.  The projected Enhanced Spider (ES) algorithm has been tested in standard IEEE 57,118 bus systems and compared to other reported standard algorithms. Results show that Enhanced Spider (ES) algorithm is more efficient than other algorithms in reducing the real power loss.

The news industry faces profound financial instability and public distrust. Many believe the solution to these ongoing crises is for journalists to improve their relationship with their audiences. This raises important questions: How do journalists conceptualize their audiences in the first place? What is the connection between what journalists think about their audiences and what they do to reach them? Perhaps most important, how aligned are these “imagined” audiences with the real ones? Imagined Audiences draws on ethnographic case studies of three news organizations to show how journalists’ assumptions about their audiences shape their approaches to their audiences. In doing so, it examines the role that audiences traditionally have played in journalism, how that role has changed, and what those changes mean for both the profession and the public. It concludes by drawing on audience studies research to compare journalism’s “imagined” audiences with actual observations of news audience behavior. The result is a comprehensive study of both news production and reception at a time when the connection between the two has grown more important than ever.

Producing high quality human capital is the main agenda in our education system. Therefore, the intent should be transformed with full commitment, compassionate and dedicated by every educator. However, lack awareness of the real meaning and aim of education among trainee educator will reduce our possibility to achieve the agenda. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine strength of educator’s soul development among final year students (trainee educator) from Faculty of Education UTM. Quantitative research design has been used to collect data from 89 respondents which is the whole population of study. The reliability value 0.93 has been obtained using Cronbach Alpha and the value shows that the research instrument is reliable to fulfill the purpose of this study. The finding shows that, the strength of educator’s soul development among final year students is moderately high with mean value at 3.86. The finding also shows that trainee educator’s level of attentiveness toward education aim which is to develop human potential based on universal value belief and devotion to God obtain the lowest mean 3.62 which is at the moderate level. Therefore, there is essential to put more effort to strengthen trainee educators’ attentiveness towards the real aim of education.

Wireless networks are among the fundamental technologies used to connect people. Considering the constant advancements in the field, telecommunication operators must guarantee a high-quality service to keep their customer portfolio. To ensure this high-quality service, it is common to establish partnerships with specialized technology companies that deliver software services in order to monitor the networks and identify faults and respective solutions. A common barrier faced by these specialized companies is the lack of data to develop and test their products. This paper investigates the use of generative adversarial networks (GANs), which are state-of-the-art generative models, for generating synthetic telecommunication data related to Wi-Fi signal quality. We developed, trained, and compared two of the most used GAN architectures: the Vanilla GAN and the Wasserstein GAN (WGAN). Both models presented satisfactory results and were able to generate synthetic data similar to the real ones. In particular, the distribution of the synthetic data overlaps the distribution of the real data for all of the considered features. Moreover, the considered generative models can reproduce the same associations observed for the synthetic features. We chose the WGAN as the final model, but both models are suitable for addressing the problem at hand.

This paper aims to answer “why-not” questions in skyline queries based on the orthogonal query range (i.e., ORSQ). These queries retrieve skyline points within a rectangular query range, which improves query efficiency. Answering why-not questions in ORSQ can help users analyze query results and make decisions. We discuss the causes of why-not questions in ORSQ. Then, we outline how to modify the why-not point and the orthogonal query range so that the why-not point is included in the result of the skyline query based on the orthogonal range. When the why-not point is in the orthogonal range, we show how to modify the why-not point and narrow the orthogonal range. We also present how to expand the orthogonal range when the why-not point is not in the orthogonal range. We effectively combine query refinement and data modification techniques to produce meaningful answers. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms have high-quality explanations for why-not questions in ORSQ in the real and synthetic datasets.
