Mobile Internet-based intelligent media has become a popular academic topic. This study uses the CiteSpace visualisation tool and Scientific Citation Index Expanded database to comb the existing research in the field of intelligent media from a quantitative perspective. A total of 7248 English papers were published on the topic of “intelligent media” from 2012 to 2021, and 145 highly cited papers refined were analysed. Scientific knowledge graphs were analysed from six dimensions: annual publication quantity, country of publication, institution of publication, author, keywords, and cited references. In the last 10 years, the research literature on intelligent media has been found to increase annually. Presently, the People’s Republic of China and the United States of America have a high proportion of documents in this field. Chinese universities and institutions have achieved significantly in terms of the quantity and quality of documents. From the perspective of the whole intelligent media discipline, the high-yield author group has not been formed, and there is minimal cooperation amongst authors. Popular intelligent media topics include film, social media, machine learning, swarming motility, data mining, and artificial intelligence. Subject words of the main research directions are event recognition, fake news, Cable News Network model, reconfigurable intelligent surface, comprehensive survey, microblog message, strain sensor, and traffic event. Combined with popular topics and time zone maps, the future research frontier in the field of smart media is identified.

Objective: The Covid-19 pandemic placed unprecedented strain on medical education and led to a vast increase in online learning. Subsequently, the XXXX International Proton School moved from face-to-face to online. Delegate feedback and current literature were studied to determine benefits, challenges, and potential solutions, for online proton therapy education. Methods: The course was converted to a six-week online course with twice weekly two-hour sessions. Feedback was studied pre, during, and post course regarding demographics, learning objectives, proton therapy knowledge, ease of engagement, technical difficulties, and course format. Statistical analyses were performed for proton therapy knowledge pre and post course. Results: An increase in delegate attendance was seen with increased international and multidisciplinary diversity. Learner objectives included treatment planning, clinical applications, physics, and centre development. Average learner reported scores of confidence in proton therapy knowledge improved significantly from 3, some knowledge, to 4, adequate knowledge after the course (p<0.0001). There were minimal reported difficulties using the online platform, good reported learner engagement, and shorter twice weekly sessions were reported conducive for learning. Recordings for asynchronous learning addressed time zone difficulties. Conclusions: The obligatory switch to online platforms has catalysed a paradigm shift towards online learning with delegates reporting educational benefit. We propose solutions to challenges of international online education, and a pedagogical model for online proton therapy education. Advances in knowledge: Online education is an effective method to teach proton therapy to international audiences. The future of proton education includes a hybrid of online and practical face-to-face learning depending on the level of cognitive skill required.

Abstract GNSS signals have been a practical time transfer tool to realise a Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and set civilian clocks around the world with respect to this atomic time standard. UTC time scale is maintained by the International Bureau of Weights and Measurements (BIPM) adjusted to be close to a time scale based on the Earth’s rotation. In Thailand, the official atomic time clocks are maintained by the National Institute of Metrology Thailand (NIMT) to produce UTC(NIMT) and Thailand standard time which is always 7 hours ahead of UTC(NIMT) because of the time zone differences between Greenwich and Bangkok. National Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) infrastructure comprises of GNSS geodetic receivers uniformly distributed to continually observe GNSS signals, mainly for geodetic survey applications both real-time and post-processing services. NIMT is involved in order to provide time link to UTC and to determine the characteristics of GNSS receiver internal clocks; namely, fractional frequency offset and frequency stabilities by applying the GNSS time transfer techniques of common-view algorithms. Monitored time differences with respect to UTC(NIMT) are achieved from selected 4 ground stations in different parts of the country with observations of 21 days in order to determine the frequency stability at 1-day and 7-day modes. GNSS standard log files; in RINEX format, at these receivers are transformed into a time transfer standard format; CGGTTS, used to compute the time differences between two stations, the fractional frequency offset and the frequency stability. Averaged fractional frequency offsets are 2.8 × 10 − 13 Hertz/Hertz 2.8\times {10^{-13}}\hspace{2.38387pt}\text{Hertz/Hertz} and computed Allan deviation is around 1.5 × 10 − 13 Hertz/Hertz 1.5\times {10^{-13}}\hspace{2.38387pt}\text{Hertz/Hertz} for an averaging time of 1 day. The comparison of the national time scale and receiver clock offsets of every receivers in this national GNSS PNT infrastructure could be accomplished through common-view time transfer using GNSS satellites to maintain the time link of geodetic active control points to UTC as well as to determine receiver internal clock characteristics.

Abstract Dementia Careblazers, created and hosted by Dr. Natali Edmonds, board certified Geropsychologist, offers weekly YouTube videos to family caregivers of people living with dementia. These free brief videos provide actionable, evidence-based information and resources focused on dementia caregiving. This virtual modality is particularly relevant for caregivers of people living with dementia given the difficulty family caregivers have in finding supervision and care for the person with dementia in their absence and considering recent health risks through face to face interactions. Furthermore, the free archive of Dementia Careblazers videos allows for access to evidence-based dementia care information at any time, regardless of geographic location or time zone. During this session, Dr. Edmonds will discuss the role YouTube videos play in public education and share tips for starting an evidence-based YouTube channel.

Every civil case in court must be resolved through mediation first. As technology develops, PERMA No. 1 of 2016 concerning mediation provides an option for parties who cannot attend in-person to carry out audio-visual mediation. The purpose of this study was to find out how the implementation and effectiveness of direct and audio-visual mediation in the settlement of divorce cases in PA Ponorogo and what factors were supporting and inhibiting its effectiveness. This is an empirical study that employs a qualitative approach. data collection techniques use observation, interviews, and documentation, while the analysis uses inductive analysis. From this study, it was concluded that in divorce cases in PA Ponorogo, direct mediation was more effective than audio-visual. Factors supporting the effectiveness of direct mediation are the ability of a mediator and a reliable legal representative; the existence of legal awareness; the existence of good faith; and the existence of legal knowledge of the parties. Then there are the supporting factors of audio-visual mediation, which are adequate facilities, informative and educative communication of attorneys to their clients, good faith and legal knowledge of the parties, and the agreed schedule. While the inhibiting factors of the two mediation models are the panel of judges' policies, inadequate facilities, time zone differences, and the emotions of the parties.

Abstract Objectives Due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic, all scientific conferences in the year 2020 had to be adapted in their form of presence to accommodate for safety regulations, postponed, or canceled entirely. As organizers of the annual Computer Assisted Radiology & Surgery International Conference & Exhibition (CARS)-Conference 2020, we decided to hold a “hybrid” conference, i.e., a virtual conference with partial presence to mitigate the drawbacks of a purely virtual conference. It is the purpose of this paper to describe the results and experience gained by our first hybrid conference. Methods Besides technical necessities like an online conferencing tool, we introduced additional personal namely the technical chairs and communication officers ensuring a smooth flow of presentations. To measure the success of the hybrid conference, we assessed various parameters during the conference (e.g., counting of adverse events, delays, and no-shows) and sent a questionnaire to participants for evaluation after the conference. Results We offered four types of presentation formats, whereas the majority of speakers presented their pre-produced videos including live discussions. Significant delays in sessions occurred during the morning sessions, which could be reduced during lunch breaks. The analysis of the influence of the distribution of the audience’s location/time zone toward the attendance rate showed a high relevance for the American zone and only little influence for the Asian-Pacific region. Based on the questionnaire, 60% of responders considered the hybrid approach as superior and 12% as inferior to purely virtual conferences. Conclusions Most scientific associations in 2020 had to struggle with a dramatic change: Regular, traditional meetings with personal communication and exchange, networking, and creation of new visions became obsolete almost instantly. As an alternative, virtual conferences became increasingly popular, and are offering additional advantages (e.g., reduction of cost for travel, lodging, and time on transit). To overcome the drawbacks of purely virtual conferences, we introduced a hybrid concept for the CARS-Congress. While certainly, those with the privilege to take part personally on-site did benefit most from the hybrid format. Facing upcoming waves of the Covid-19 Pandemic, with ongoing changes to the regulations on meetings and transit, hybrid conferences are a viable option for scientific conferences for the future.
