Abstract:
The primary purpose of green communication is to reduce energy use. The base station (BS) is a radio receiver/transmitter that acts as the wireless network’s hub. It serves as a link between a wired and wireless network. To receive and transmit messages, BS uses a lot of energy. The use of effective sleep and wake-up/setup activities with an acceptable delay helps reduce base station power consumption. In this paper, the BS’s service process is modelled as a finite buffer queue with close down, sleep, and setup. After a certain number of user requests (URs) have accumulated in the system, to awaken the BS from multiple sleeps (MS) the -Policy is implemented. To produce probability generating functions, the supplementary variable approach is applied. The UR’s mean delay and the BS’s mean power consumption are calculated using simulation. According to computational studies, multiple sleeps with -policy consume less power than multiple sleeps without -policy.

Abstract:
Insufficient sleep is associated with an increased risk for a range of negative physical and mental health outcomes. Causes of insufficient sleep involve many factors, and the consequences are not evenly distributed across populations. Indeed, stark sleep disparities disadvantage racial and ethnic minorities and those low in socioeconomic status, who are more readily affected by poor sleep than their White and high socioeconomic status comparators. Sleep is situated in the context of a socioecological model that recognizes societal, community, and individual factors that shape poor sleep and drive sleep-related outcomes. Policy opportunities address each level of the presented model and addressing these barriers should promote better sleep for those affected and potentially reduce sleep disparities.

Abstract:
Sleep is a fundamental human need, yet many people struggle to get adequate, good quality sleep. This article examines the sleep landscape in India, where studies show a majority of adults fail to get the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep per night. It delves into the reasons behind India's sleep deficit, including frequent nighttime awakenings, irregular sleep schedules, and external disturbances. The consequences of chronic sleep loss are explored, from impaired cognitive functioning to increased risk of medical conditions like heart disease and diabetes. The article discusses why sleep remains elusive for so many, despite a booming sleep industry worth billions. It suggests shifting the focus from trying to achieve an unrealistic "ideal" amount of sleep to understanding personal sleep needs and addressing the root lifestyle factors disrupting sleep. If sleep is not approached as a high-pressure challenge but accepted as a vital need, people may worry less about sleep and, ironically, sleep better.

Abstract:
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic-related social restriction policy has a spillover effect on sleep quality. Sleep quality worsened after the social restriction policy was implemented, followed by an improved sleep quality longitudinal trajectory. Previous studies have focused on the pre-pandemic and post-implementation impacts of social restrictions on sleep quality, but not after social restrictions were lifted. Objective: Evaluate the sleep quality after the ease of the COVID-19 pandemic-related social restriction policy. Methods: We recruited voluntary academic staff who lived in Indonesia, had no leave during the work from home (WFH) period, and were non-shift workers to participate in the study. We administered the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Sleep Hygiene Index, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Reduced Morning-Eveningness, and micro-Munich Chronotype Questionnaires. We additionally attempted to get the subject to recall their sleep quality one year after the pandemic. The repeated measure of sleep quality was analyzed using a linear mixed-effect model, and the determinant factors of sleep quality in the WFO period were analyzed using a linear model. Results: A total of 52 academic staff participated in this study. We found non-significant overall PSQI score increments between the two periods (β = 0.20, p-value > 0.05). In addition, we found heterogeneity in sleep quality trajectories among subjects. On the other hand, sleep hygiene, individual resilience, and marital status significantly impact sleep quality among academic staff in the WFO period. Conclusion: There was no difference in sleep quality between the two time periods. The study highlighted the significant influence of sleep hygiene, resilience, and marital status on sleep quality among academic staff during the WFO period.

Abstract:
Sleep has a significant impact on the physical and mental health of adolescents. However, most adolescents face sleep deprivation and a range of adverse consequences. The policy of delaying the start of school has gained the attention of many researchers in the last two decades in response to the problem of improving sleep quality and increasing the total number of hours of sleep among adolescents. This paper assesses the influences of delayed school start times on adolescent sleep and related outcomes, identifies the limitations and shortcomings of this policy implementation, and the available research data, provides a comprehensive analysis of the impacts of delayed school start times, and offers suggestions for the future direction and prospects of this policy implementation.

Abstract:
In Australia while "appropriate provision for sleep and rest" in early education and care settings is legislated there is no research base to define appropriate practice. This study provided the first, comprehensive documentation of sleep practices in early education and care and assessed their impacts on child health and well-being. The evidence supports development of practice guidelines to manage the complex individual and organisational factors associated with provisions for sleep and rest. The thesis contributes to significant international debate in sleep science regarding the benefits of promoting day-sleep during a period characterized by decline in biological propensity to nap.

This thesis addresses the impact of sleepiness on astronauts and adolescents in their everyday tasks. The first part describes the results of an experiment assessing the effect of sleepiness and workload on performance in simulated space telerobotics tasks. The second part describes the results of a forum discussion with high school students about school start time based on information about adolescent sleep biology and various stakeholder perspectives. Astronauts must maintain a high level of performance during space robotics operations, despite sleep schedules that hinder their cognitive function, response time, and attention. This study aimed to determine the usefulness of secondary tasks to assess sleepiness and workload during simulated space robotics performance. 13 naive subjects were trained to perform two types of robotics tasks and two types of secondary tasks measuring response time. Subjects completed two 2-hour robotics sessions, one at midday after approximately 4 hours awake, and one at night after 18 hours awake. Comparing 18 hours awake versus 4, Karolinska Sleepiness Scale scores increased by at least 2 points. Subjects maintained primary robotics task performance at the night session, but secondary task measures such as inverse response time showed significant changes, with moderate Hedges' g (0.35 to 0.74) effect sizes. For a passive monitoring of arm movement primary task, a simple response secondary task metric proved more sensitive to time awake than a two choice response secondary task, but the converse was found when the primary task involved track and capture manual control. Our visual secondary task was sensitive to changes in primary task workload and sleepiness. Secondary task workload measures are a potentially useful adjunct to primary task drowsiness metrics like PVT and deserve further investigation. In Part II, we hypothesized that informed high school students can make strong recommendations about school start time after learning about the biology of their sleep needs and participating in a discussion forum to consider various stakeholder perspectives. 26 high school students from Fenway High School participated in a forum at the Museum of Science. Before the forum, they completed a survey about their sleep habits. During the forum, they participated in a role play exercise, taking on the roles of parent, sleep researcher, administrator, student, and teacher and negotiating tradeoffs about school start time. In the post-forum survey, students showed learning about sleep and made good recommendations to share with their peers. They value sleep and think that getting enough sleep is important, yet by their self-reported actions they seem to value other activities more.<br>"Part I of this research was supported by the NSBRI through NASA Contract NCC 9-58"--PDF p. 3<br>by Caroline Lowenthal.<br>S.M.in Technology and Policy<br>S.M.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis explored the drivers and inhibitors of change in sexual and reproductive health (SRH) policy and legislation in Kenya. The overall purpose was to contribute to the limited knowledge on national-level debates that shape how developing countries adapt the SRH agenda, which originated from international processes. The thesis explains how and why some SRH reforms have been realised in Kenya amid contention, while others have been blocked. Guided by a synthesis conceptual framework that emphasised the central role of discursive power in decision-making, the thesis adopted a qualitative case-study design enriched with various anthropological concepts. Three case-studies (two bureaucratic, i.e. adolescent RH policy and national RH policy, and one legislative, i.e. sexual offences law) were deconstructed. Data collection involved semi-structured in-depth interviews with policy actors, observations and note-taking in meetings, and document review. Findings revealed that four influential narratives of SRH – the moral narrative, cultural narrative, medical narrative (with two variations i.e. ‘moralised' versus ‘comprehensive' medical narratives), and human rights narrative – underpinned by conflicting actor interests, mediated the interplay of actor networks, knowledge, context and institutions to determine reforms. The findings revealed that the strong entrenchment of the moral and cultural narratives in the Kenyan context (mainly public structures and institutions) was a major barrier to reforms on contested SRH issues. Even then, the hegemonic narratives were in some cases unsettled to make reforms possible. The most important factors in unsettling the hegemonic narratives to facilitate reforms included: a change in the political context that brought in new political actors supportive of reforms, the presence of knowledgeable and charismatic issue champions within political and bureaucratic institutions, the availability of compelling knowledge (scientific or lay) on an issue, sustained evidence-informed advocacy by civil society/non-governmental organisations, donor pressure, and reduced political costs (for politicians and bureaucrats) for supporting reforms. The main contribution of the thesis is three-fold. First, the thesis captures the disconnect between international SRH agreements and national-level realities, showing the need for international actors to consider national-level realities that shape decision-making. Second, its findings provide lessons for informing future SRH reform efforts in Kenya and in other sub-Saharan African countries. Third, its analysis of discursive power contributes to a major theoretical gap in health systems research in developing countries identified as lack of critical analysis of power in decision-making.

Abstract:
The desire to enhance and make ourselves better is not a new one and it has continued to intrigue throughout the ages. Individuals have continued to seek ways to improve and enhance their well-being for example through nutrition, physical exercise, education and so on. Crucial to this improvement of their well-being is improving their ability to remember. Hence, people interested in improving their well-being, are often interested in memory as well. The rationale being that memory is crucial to our well-being. The desire to improve one’s memory then is almost certainly as old as the desire to improve one’s well-being. Traditionally, people have used different means in an attempt to enhance their memories: for example in learning through storytelling, studying, and apprenticeship. In remembering through practices like mnemonics, repetition, singing, and drumming. In retaining, storing and consolidating memories through nutrition and stimulants like coffee to help keep awake; and by external aids like notepads and computers. In forgetting through rituals and rites. Recent scientific advances in biotechnology, nanotechnology, molecular biology, neuroscience, and information technologies, present a wide variety of technologies to enhance many different aspects of human functioning. Thus, some commentators have identified human enhancement as central and one of the most fascinating subject in bioethics in the last two decades. Within, this period, most of the commentators have addressed the Ethical, Social, Legal and Policy (ESLP) issues in human enhancements as a whole as opposed to specific enhancements. However, this is problematic and recently various commentators have found this to be deficient and called for a contextualized case-by-case analysis to human enhancements for example genetic enhancement, moral enhancement, and in my case memory enhancement (ME). The rationale being that the reasons for accepting/rejecting a particular enhancement vary depending on the enhancement itself. Given this enormous variation, moral and legal generalizations about all enhancement processes and technologies are unwise and they should instead be evaluated individually. Taking this as a point of departure, this research will focus specifically on making a case for ME and in doing so assessing the ESLP implications arising from ME. My analysis will draw on the already existing literature for and against enhancement, especially in part two of this thesis; but it will be novel in providing a much more in-depth analysis of ME. From this perspective, I will contribute to the ME debate through two reviews that address the question how we enhance the memory, and through four original papers discussed in part three of this thesis, where I examine and evaluate critically specific ESLP issues that arise with the use of ME. In the conclusion, I will amalgamate all my contribution to the ME debate and suggest the future direction for the ME debate.

Abstract:
Research indicates that law enforcement officers (LEOs) have a higher prevalence of developing coronary artery disease (CAD) compared to the general population. Sleep deprivation and physical inactivity have been found to be related to many risk factors for CAD. This cross-sectional study examined the health status and the relationship between sleep and physical activity outcomes versus CAD risk factors among 27 University LEOs. The subjects’ health behaviors, and CAD and metabolic syndrome risk factors were described using basic statistics. Accelerometer derived sleep and physical activity outcomes were correlated to measures of health to identify potential relationships. 33% of LEOs were classified as moderate risk for CAD; 92% had dyslipidemia, 58% had elevated triglycerides, 23% had prediabetes, and 22% suffered from obesity. The administrators and first shift LEOs slept more compared to second or third shift LEOs. The LEOs were more sedentary while on-duty. In addition, sedentary time was correlated to systolic blood pressure. LEOs accumulated 24.4 min·d-1 of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), but only spent 9.3 min·d-1 in continuous bouts of MVPA. In conclusion, multiple CAD risk factors were present in these LEOs and achieving adequate amounts of physical activity and sleep may decrease their risk of developing chronic diseases.

Abstract:
This paper draws on evidence from Victoria to examine why more innovation takes place in some areas than in others. In so doing, it explores the relationship between innovation and networks.<br>Despite a large number of recent government policy statements on innovation, there has been very little attention paid to the spatial dimensions of innovation.<br>The literature on innovation increasingly points to the important role played by local and regional networks in driving innovation. Innovation is the result of the production, use and diffusion of knowledge, and this demands collaboration involving networks of individuals, organisations and institutions.<br>To test the theory of a connection between networks and innovation across regional Victoria, patent data is used as a proxy measure for innovation. This data is then cross-referenced with various social and economic data sets.<br>The analysis reveals that innovation in Victoria is substantially concentrated in ‘hot spots’ such as inner Melbourne. In some parts of Victoria very little innovation takes place at all.<br>This research has found that all things being equal, more innovation will take place in those areas in which there is a greater density of informal networks. However, not all types of networks are positive, and they are more important in provincial areas than in big cities. Innovation clearly has a spatial aspect, and innovation policy needs to give particular attention to the requirements of provincial areas.

The population was characterized by military police officers who work in the Greater Florianópolis region, a total of 975 subjects (N1 = 27). The sample of descriptive study was composed by availability between the military police who respected the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 438 subjects (n1) and the sample of semi-experimental study was obtained by division the subjects into two intervention groups physical exercise swimming according to the intensity (moderate versus high) and a control group, composed of nine subjects in each of them (n2 = 27). The instruments used were: a) evaluation form about demographic and anthropometric data; b) physical activity questionnaire; c) quality questionnaire Pittsburgh Sleep; and d) of Epworth Sleepiness Scale. The subjects of both swimming exercise intervention groups participated in this activity for 10 weeks, on non-consecutive days, with three weekly sessions of 60 minutes each session. Prescription of exercise swimming was performed using the anaerobic threshold (LAN) 1 and 2 determined indirectly by calculation based on individual time for performing 50, 100 and 200 meters in crawl and backstroke. These groups underwent the volume of the swimming crawl and backstroke into the heart rate zone corresponding to the LAN 1 and 2. It can be concluded that the military police had high levels of physical activity and bad sleep quality, although not identified significant associations between these variables. It can also conclude that the police officers who work mainly in the administrative are more likely to be less active when compared to the policemen operating predominantly in operational services. It can also conclude that physical exercise program of highintensity swimming contributed to significant reductions in quality score cops sleep.<br>Esta pesquisa foi realizada a partir de dois objetivos básicos que buscaram contemplar as etapas descritiva e experimental: a) verificar as associações entre nível de atividade física, qualidade do sono, sonolência diurna excessiva e características demográficas de policiais militares da Grande Florianópolis da Polícia Militar do Estado de Santa Catarina; b) analisar os efeitos do exercício aeróbio de natação sobre a qualidade do sono e sonolência diurna excessiva de policiais militares da Grande Florianópolis da Polícia Militar do Estado de Santa Catarina. A população foi caracterizada pelos policiais militares que atuavam na região da Grande Florianópolis, perfazendo um total de 975 sujeitos (N). A amostra do estudo descritivo foi composta por disponibilidade entre os policiais militares que respeitaram os critérios de inclusão e exclusão, perfazendo um total de 438 sujeitos (n1) e a amostra do estudo semiexperimental foi obtida com divisão dos sujeitos em dois grupos de intervenção de exercício físico de natação de acordo com a intensidade (moderada versus alta) e um grupo controle, todos compostos por nove sujeitos em cada um deles (n2=27). Foram adotados os seguintes instrumentos: a) ficha de avaliação sobre dados sociodemográficos e antropométricos; b) questionário de atividade física; c) questionário de qualidade do sono de Pittsburgh; e d) escala de Sonolência de Epworth. Os sujeitos de ambos os grupos da intervenção de exercício físico de natação participaram desta atividade durante 10 semanas, em dias não consecutivos, com três sessões semanais, de 60 minutos cada sessão. A prescrição do exercício físico de natação foi efetuada utilizando-se o limiar anaeróbio (LAN) 1 e 2 determinado de maneira indireta através do cálculo baseado no tempo individual para a realização de 50, 100 e 200 metros nos estilos crawl e costas. Esses grupos realizaram o volume de nado no estilo crawl e costas dentro da zona de frequência cardíaca correspondente ao LAN 1 e 2. Pode-se concluir que os policiais militares apresentaram alto nível de atividade física e qualidade do sono ruim, apesar de não serem identificadas associações significantes entre estas variáveis. Pode-se concluir também que os policiais militares que atuam predominantemente no administrativo apresentam maior probabilidade de serem menos ativos quando comparados aos policiais que atuam predominantemente em serviços operacionais. Pode-se concluir ainda que o programa de exercício físico de natação de alta intensidade contribuiu para reduções significativas no índice de qualidade do sono de policiais.

Recorreu-se à utilização dos Questionários de Sono e Fadiga; de Dados Individuais; e a Escala de alerta e sonolência do Standard Shiftwork Index (SSI) - na versão portuguesa (EPTT). Os agentes da P.S.P. do tipo diurno que se apresentam mais sonolentos durante o turno da noite, necessitam de dormir mais horas entre turnos da noite seguidos, dias de folga seguidos, e entre situações de turno de rotação rápida. Estes participantes não são flexíveis em adormecer em horas ou locais pouco usuais (ex. durante o dia). Possuindo um sono de pior qualidade entre turnos da noite, sentem-se menos repousados e com mais dificuldades em adormecer entre turnos da noite seguidos e a apresentam níveis mais elevados de fadiga crónica Observou-se que são os agentes com mais idade que possuem um maior controlo sob o seu ritmo de trabalho, que dormem menos horas entre turnos da tarde seguidos, entre turnos de rotação rápida, antes do 1o turno da noite e entre dias de folga seguidos. Verificou-se também que são os participantes mais velhos que referem dormir menos horas de sono independentemente do turno de trabalho em que estão. Efectivamente são os agentes da P.S.P. com mais idade que necessitam de dormir mais horas entre turnos da noite seguidos; que acordam mais vezes precocemente e têm mais dificuldades em adormecer entre turnos da tarde seguidos.

碩士<br>輔仁大學<br>電機工程學系碩士班<br>103<br>According to the operations of sleep period of 4G mobile communication networks, the difficulty of the issue is how to determine the most appropriate sleep window size and timing under unpredictable non-real-time traffic. This paper proposed a dynamic sleep window adjusting policy (D-SWAP) for 4G mobile communication networks. It utilizes the concept of well-known round-trip-time (RTT) estimate method in the Transmission Control Protocol to enable base station and mobile station to autonomously adjust the sleep window size by monitoring downlink traffic pattern. After performance evaluation, the results show that the proposed D-SWAP can achieve better power saving efficiency than the surveyed power saving mechanisms in this paper.

碩士<br>輔仁大學<br>電機工程學系碩士班<br>106<br>For newly emerging multimedia applications in mobile communication networks, because their network traffic patterns are different from the traditional applications, some existed power-saving mechanisms in literatures cannot provide better performance on mobile devices anymore. In this paper, a mathematical analysis model is developed to demonstrate the performance of the newly proposed D-SWAP power-saving mechanism. The analyzed performance focuses on the average power consumption and average packet delay. The analysis and simulation results demonstrate that the proposed D-SWAP can concurrently satisfy the trade-off requirements of low average power consumption and low average packet delay.

Abstract:
AbstractIn this chapter, I examine the impact of prolonged family separation on the families of rejected Somali asylum seekers in Europe. The focus is on the everyday security of family members left behind in Somalia. During the past 10 years, many young people have migrated from Somalia as a result of socio-political developments in the Horn of Africa. Coupled with recent policy changes in Europe, these developments have significantly increased the time migrants spend in transit countries and in Europe as rejected asylum seekers, profoundly affecting the everyday life and wellbeing of their families in Somalia. The chapter draws on 42 semi-structured, in-depth individual interviews with family members of rejected Somali asylum seekers in Europe; the interviews were conducted in Somaliland and Puntland, Somalia, in March–April 2019 and January–February 2020. The findings show that family separation affects family members’ everyday security in Somalia through four broad dimensions of family life, namely, emotional, health-related, material and social dimensions. The chapter provides a unique translocal analysis that connects the effects of immigration policies in Europe to the everyday (in)securities of families in Somalia.

Abstract:
AbstractThe everyday lives of undocumented migrants are littered with challenges, such as constantly having to find new places in which to live and sleep; seeking employment and a livelihood, even in the grey market; contacting families and friends, to overcome feelings of loneliness and despair; maintaining hope for the future, despite living in a country that is rejecting them; and escaping the police. Living without legal permission in a country makes them wear a variety of identities and masks, and continually devise new survival strategies and practices in order to survive and make ends meet.The chapter illustrates how undocumented migrants in Finland manage to find more or less secure accommodation, and how some of them even find jobs despite the law forbidding them to work in Finland. The chapter also explores in detail their everyday social lives, who they turn to when they need something, and their aspirations and hopes for the future. We also pay attention to their migrations to Finland, within Finland, and their potential on-migration from Finland, including return migration.

Abstract:
Abstract Sleep health can be positively or adversely influenced by policies. In this chapter, we utilize a socioecological model/framework, to discuss how policies can influence individual behavior and consequently sleep health through, for example, workplace policies related to flexible schedules, community programs that enhance access to healthcare and sleep health professionals/specialists, urban planning aimed at reducing noise or light pollution, school start time policies, and broader social policies that target minimum wage. It also discusses the role sleep health professionals across the research spectrum can play in policy development to collectively improve sleep health by conducting policy-relevant research across research disciplines from bench to population, communicating findings in a manner that facilitates action, developing partnerships that cultivate synergies, and encouraging the efficient use of resources through the promotion of policies based on science—such as the promotion of evidence-based sleep health interventions.

Abstract:
The article covers the issue of the personal psychological safety of police officers. A theoretical analysis of the scientific literature was conducted, which resulted in a definition of the psychological safety of the individual police officer. PhIlosophical interpretations of the term ‘Safety’, in the ancient World, New Age, and the contemporary world have been considered (Platon, T. Gobbs, J.J. Russo, G.V. Gegel, N.A. Berdyaev). The psychological definitions of the term ‘Psychological Safety’ have been analysed (A. Maslow, A. Adler, Sullivan, M.A. Kotik, T. S. Kabachenko, I.A. Baeva, O.Y. Zotova, E.E. Pronina). The article describes specific traits of the professional activity of police officers, e.g., the operational environment, sudden job changes, permanent interaction with criminals, physical and psychological fatigue, high-level responsibility, the lack of sleep and recreation, etc. The study of the specificity of the personal psychological safety of police officers was divided into several phases. The first phase consisted in enquiring, upon which 47% of respondents were found out to feel psychologically unsafe, which proves the relevancy of studying this phenomenon. Furthermore, the technique ‘Motivation Diagnostics’ suggested by A.A. Akindinova was used, which has allowed the dominant needs of police officers to be determined: the need for safety, and the need for self-fulfillment. At the final phase, the authors employed the ‘Free Association Technique’, and have thereby found that 69% of respondents associate their safety with serenity, 62% - with protectiveness, 31% - with confidence, and 23% - with comfort/reliability. Moreover, here are differences in the subjective perception of safety in women (protectiveness), and in men (serenity).

Abstract:
This paper summarizes the published Cochrane Review, “Non-pharmacological Care for Opioid Withdrawal in Newborns,” by A. Pahl, L. Young, M. E. Buus-Frank, L. Marcellus, and R. Soll (https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD013217.pub2), and discusses it through a treatment policy and practice lens. The study population in the review included infants born at term (37 weeks’ gestation or greater) and late preterm (34 weeks’ gestation to 37 weeks’ gestation) who had a known or suspected prenatal exposure to opioids or who were exhibiting symptoms consistent with opioid withdrawal in the first 7 days of life. Nonpharmacological interventions included a wide range of care and were broadly categorized as: modification of environmental stimulation, feeding practices, and support of the mother-infant dyad. The review found that randomized controlled trials, identified in searches conducted in October 2019, did not provide enough evidence regarding clinically meaningful outcomes. However, recently published trial data suggest that “Eat, Sleep, Console,” an individualized, trauma-informed, family-centered nonpharmacological approach to care, can reduce the number of days an infant experiencing symptoms consistent with opioid withdrawal requires in-hospital care.
