Growing Population

Aquaculture is one of the indispensable fields that helps in the chain of nourishment by feeding the world’s growing population, with 93.6 million metric tons to meet the world’s seafood needs by 2030. Internet of Things (IoT) or Internet of Everything is a blooming paradigm that changes the way of interaction with the environment, which has global attention of the industries in its rapid growth. Incorporating the IoT in the observation of seafood cultivating procedures can improve the productivity and supportability while upgrading the business with the next generation technologies. In Aquaculture, a handful of units are set-up in the deep seas, while the majority of the units are set inland. In inland offices, the ocean organisms are cultured in tanks that can change in volumes and materials. In such cases where profitable aquaculture is done, numerous endeavors are taken to augment the well-being of the sea creatures. Here, we are proposing an exceptionally beneficial aquaculture framework, designed for the aquafarming unit employments, for observing the quality of the water, controlling the system’s irregularity and providing real-time updates to the aqua-farmer. The Aqua-Farmer can surveille the units and control the water circulation remotely through a mobile application.

As the clinical features and potential complications of COVID-19 emerged last year it became clear that neurological, neuropsychiatric and psychiatric disorders were potentially significant. There were also reasons to expect this from past viral outbreaks, including other severe coronaviruses. The CoroNerve study, led by Ben Michael and colleagues, was rapidly set up to as a UK-wide surveillance system for clinicians to initially briefly notify cases and later provide full clinical details. A psychiatry reporting system, led by the RCPsych neuropsychiatry faculty, was added and the first 153 notifications were published last June. The full clinical details of the first 267 cases completed were published as a preprint in January.The has been a rapid growth in the number and quality of publications regarding the neuropsychiatry of COVID-19 and this has been collated on the JNNP Neurology & Neuropsychiatry of COVID-19 blog which we set up to respond to the need for rapid capture and synthesis of a fast moving field with weekly updates and publications from a growing international team, including a recently published preprint systematic review and meta-analysis of the neurology and neuropsychiatry of COVID-19. We will jointly review the CoroNerve data and its context in the emerging wider evidence base regarding the neuropsychiatry of COVID-19, highlighting exciting new research areas such as long COVID and projects such as the recently started COVID-CNS study funded by UKRI.We would like to thank those who have already submitted cases to CoroNerve and encourage others to do the same, including those associated with COVID-19 vaccination, and to flag up that notifying a case and providing data results in pubmed searchable collaborator status on resulting publications.

The Relationship

Introduction: Perception of emotions is an important aspect of social functioning and the quality of life, and its deficit has been consistently found in people with schizophrenia. Aim: To obtain better understanding of the relationship and predictability between the perception of emotions, social functioning and the quality of life in people with schizophrenia. Method: The sample comprised 64 respondents (the clinical and the control group consisting of 32 subjects each, equal in terms of gender, age and education). Perception of emotions was measured using the test of speed and accuracy of perception of facial expression, while social functioning and the quality of life were measured via self-assessment questionnaires. The research was exploratory and non-experimental correlational. Results: In both the clinical and control groups, the perception of emotions is positively correlated with social functioning and the quality of life. Still, the direction of predictivity remains unclear due to the complexity of relationships. Compared to the control group, there was a deficit in the domains of perception of emotional expression, social functioning and the quality of life in the clinical group. The deficit in the perception of emotions in patients with schizophrenia is global and affects all emotions, while it is most pronounced when it comes to the emotions of surprise and anger. Conclusions: The obtained findings indicate that the understanding of the lack of functioning in people with schizophrenia should be sought, among other things, in the relation between the perception of emotions, social functioning and the quality of life in order to gain a better insight into choosing the proper line of treatment with the aim of improving the overall well-being of the patients.

The Internet Of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the notion that nearly everything we use, from gym shorts to streetlights, will soon be connected to the Internet; the Internet of Everything (IoE) encompasses not just objects, but the social connections, data, and processes that the IoT makes possible. Industry and financial analysts have predicted that the number of Internet-enabled devices will increase from 11 billion to upwards of 75 billion by 2020. Regardless of the number, the end result looks to be a mind-boggling explosion in Internet connected stuff. Yet, there has been relatively little attention paid to how we should go about regulating smart devices, and still less about how cybersecurity should be enhanced. Similarly, now that everything from refrigerators to stock exchanges can be connected to a ubiquitous Internet, how can we better safeguard privacy across networks and borders? Will security scale along with this increasingly crowded field? Or, will a combination of perverse incentives, increasing complexity, and new problems derail progress and exacerbate cyber insecurity? For all the press that such questions have received, the Internet of Everything remains a topic little understood or appreciated by the public. This volume demystifies our increasingly “smart” world, and unpacks many of the outstanding security, privacy, ethical, and policy challenges and opportunities represented by the IoE. Scott J. Shackelford provides real-world examples and straightforward discussion about how the IoE is impacting our lives, companies, and nations, and explain how it is increasingly shaping the international community in the twenty-first century. Are there any downsides of your phone being able to unlock your front door, start your car, and control your thermostat? Is your smart speaker always listening? How are other countries dealing with these issues? This book answers these questions, and more, along with offering practical guidance for how you can join the effort to help build an Internet of Everything that is as secure, private, efficient, and fun as possible.

The case presents a detailed snapshot of a staff employee well-being initiative developed and implemented by the Human Resources (HR) department in August 2014 at the Online Learning Unit (OLU) of J.M. College located in southwestern Georgia. The case is an auto-ethnographic account of how implementation of an employee quality of life (QOL) initiative combined with surveillance techniques resulted in a negative toxic culture of employee resentment, hostility, and poor performance. Using modern surveillance theories of synoptican, actor-network theory (ANT), and surveillance capitalism, the case shows how the original Foucauldian theory of panopticon has re-invented itself into a panopticon of technology dominated by a culture of capitalism and profit-maximization. The case uses pseudo names to protect privacy and maintain confidentiality of the institution and characters. The case accurately details events in a chronological manner focusing on the main character's thoughts and actions.

As an emergent care model combining conventional with complementary therapies, integrative interventions challenge evaluation, necessitating approaches capable of capturing complex, multilevel interactions. This article evaluates the effects of a Tibetan yoga intervention on lymphoma patients’ quality of life and cancer experience. Our methodological aims were to explore differences in therapeutic effect between treatment and control group using qualitative data, and explain equivocal findings between data sets. Use of both data transformation techniques—qualitizing and quantitizing—within an experimental embedded design comparing and integrating data between data sets and treatment groups allowed us to develop this innovative evaluative approach. Findings clarify convergence and divergence between data sets, explore participants’ complex cancer experience, and capture dimensions and intervention effects inaccessible through either method alone.
