Enhancing Access And Inclusion: The Retrofitting Of Olympic Facilities For The Paralympic Games, Lawrence W. Judge, Jeffrey Petersen, Adam Smith, Kyra Livergood

Journal of Applied Sport Management

This critical review examines the strategies and challenges in adapting Olympic facilities for Paralympic use. A synthesis of recent literature evaluates successful retrofitting initiatives, elucidates ongoing challenges, and assesses the repercussions of global events on the dynamic process of facility conversion. The resulting analysis culminates in evidence-based recommendations for future investigations and the operational enhancement of Paralympic venues. These findings suggest that adopting a collaborative approach, anchored in universal design principles and preemptive planning, is imperative to developing accessible, efficient, and ecologically responsible Paralympic infrastructures.

Managing Coach-Athlete Dynamics: Immediacy And Meta-Perception In Intercollegiate Sports, Erica Pasquini, Lindsey Blom, James Johnson, Adam Smith, Lawrence W. Judge

Journal of Applied Sport Management

This study investigates the correlation between intercollegiate athletes' meta-perception accuracy and their assessment of coaches' immediacy behaviors, and actions that foster closeness. Utilizing the Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire, 54 athletes evaluated their coaches' immediacy. Findings indicate that lower meta-accuracy aligns with perceived lower immediacy, highlighting the role of perceived relational closeness in athlete self-awareness. Gender dynamics, in terms of coach-athlete dyads, exhibited no effect on meta-perception accuracy. The findings of the study lend credence to sport managers including immediacy behaviors in coach training to enhance athletes' meta-accuracy perception, while also contributing to the literature on meta-perception in sports and coach-athlete gender …

Roly Poly And Its Management, Department Of Primary Industries And Regional Development, Western Australia

Grains and other field crops factsheets

Roly poly, also known as prickly saltwort or tumbleweed (Salsola australis), is a native species found throughout Australia. The dead plants can break off at ground level, forming the ‘tumbleweeds’ seen in movies.

Like most summer weeds, roly poly uses soil moisture and nutrients that would otherwise be available to the following crop. The time taken to clear uncontrolled plants can delay seeding.

Livestock will graze the young plants; however, they will not eat the mature plants and are injured by the prickly leaves.

Design And Practical Implementation Of A Stream Cipher Algorithm Based On A Lorenz System, Hayder Mazin Makki Alibraheemi, Mazen M. A. Al Ibraheemi, Zainb Hassan Radhy

Mesopotamian Journal of CyberSecurity

Currently, the security of data has gained significant attention in modern life. Researchers have continued to address this issue. This work addresses image encryption in communication systems. It presents a proposed design and implementation of a cryptography system based on the Lorenz chaos oscillator. The paper methodology uses Xilinx System Generator (XSG) and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technologies to implement the chaotic system. To determine the approach that uses the least amount of FPGA resources while providing effective and efficient performance, the differential equations of the Lorenz chaotic system are solved via the forward-Euler and Runge–Kutta integration techniques. In …

Cybersecurity Defence Mechanism Against Ddos Attack With Explainability, Alaa Mohammed Mahmood, İsa Avcı

Mesopotamian Journal of CyberSecurity

Application-layer attacks (Layer 7 attacks), a form of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) aimed at web servers, have become a significant concern in cybersecurity because of their ability to disrupt services by overwhelming server resources. This study focuses on addressing the challenges of detecting and mitigating the impact of such attacks, which are difficult to counter due to their sophisticated nature. The primary objective of this study is to develop an effective monitoring and defence model to detect, defend, and respond to these attacks efficiently. To achieve this, SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) technology was used to understand the behaviour of the model …

Collaborative Intrusion Detection System To Identify Joint Attacks In Routing Protocol For Low-Power And Lossy Networks Routing Protocol On The Internet Of Everything, Omar A. Abdulkareem, Raja Kumar Kontham, Farhad E. Mahmood

Mesopotamian Journal of CyberSecurity

The Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) routing protocol is utilized in the Internet of Everything (IoE) is highly vulnerable to various collaborative routing attacks. This attack can highly degrade network performance through increased delay, energy consumption, and unreliable data exchange. This critical vulnerability necessitates a robust intrusion detection system. This study aims to enhance a Collaborative Intrusion Detection System (CIDS) for detecting and mitigating joint attacks in the RPL protocol, focusing on improving detection accuracy while minimizing network delay and energy usage. A series of algorithms and techniques are implemented, including Queue and Workload-Aware RPL (QWL-RPL) for …

Effects Of Interruptions From Patient Admissions And Discharges On Nurse Workload, Satisfaction, And Falls, Lorena Estrella

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Bedside shift handovers are pivotal for nurses to exchange essential patient health information, yet interruptions during handovers present challenges impacting workload, job satisfaction, and patient safety. The purposes of this study, which was underpinned by contributing factors to adverse events in healthcare model, were to determine if there was a relationship (a) between the frequency of interruptions from new patient admissions and discharges during bedside shift reports on nurses' perceptions of workload, (b) between the frequency of interruptions from new patient admissions and discharges during bedside shift reports and nurses' perceptions of workload on job satisfaction among hospital nurses, and …

Neutrosophic Model For Measuring And Evaluating The Role Of Digital Transformation In Improving Sustainable Performance Using The Balanced Scorecard In Egyptian Universities, A. A. Salama, Osama Mohamed Mobarez, Mohamed Hamed Elfar, Rafif Alhabib

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

This paper proposes a neutrosophic model for measuring and evaluating the role of digital transformation in improving sustainable performance using the balanced scorecard in Egyptian universities. The model takes into account uncertainty, ambiguity, and incompleteness in the data. The model first calculates the neutrosophic measures of digital transformation and sustainable performance for each university. Then, it uses neutrosophic logic to evaluate the causal relationship between digital transformation and sustainable performance. The results of the analysis can used to identify the digital transformation indicators that have the greatest impact on sustainable performance. This information can then be used to develop strategies …
