Physical inactivity is a social problem related to health. Based on the concept of health communication, this study aims to construct a mechanism to provide continuous information to improve physical activity. We built a "home digital signage system" which consists of a function of collecting the localized information from the websites and distributing to the tablets. The results of the introduction of this system have been suggested to promote walking by increasing media exposure.

Article Synopsis
  • The study looked at how thankful nurses and staff feel about their jobs in a special hospital unit and what makes them feel connected and happy at work.
  • They collected surveys from 40 people before and after a program that showed positive messages and thanks to the staff.
  • The results showed that feeling appreciated was linked to job happiness, but the program didn't change overall job satisfaction or sense of belonging.

Background: A Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Team at a university health science library created a checklist for inclusive language and conducted an assessment of their library's website, LibGuides, and physical and digital signage. Inclusive language was defined as "language that is free from words, phrases or tones that reflect prejudiced, stereotyped or discriminatory views of particular people or groups".

Case Presentation: The 32-item checklist facilitated the identification of gendered language, stereotypes, ableist language, racist language, stigmatizing language, slang, acronyms, and out-of-date terminology regarding physical and mental health conditions.

Flat panel displays are electronic displays that are thin and lightweight, making them ideal for use in a wide range of applications, from televisions and computer monitors to mobile devices and digital signage. The Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) layer is responsible for controlling the amount of light that passes through each pixel and is located behind the liquid crystal layer, enabling precise image control and high-quality display. As one of the important parameters to evaluate the display performance, the faster response time provides more frames in a second, which benefits many high-end applications, such as applications for playing games and watching movies.

Display field communication (DFC) is an unobtrusive display-to-camera technology that transmits data within the frequency domain of images, ensuring that the embedded data are hidden and do not disrupt the viewing experience. The display embeds data into image frames, while the receiver captures the display and extracts it. Two-dimensional DFC (2D-DFC) focuses on embedding data in the width and height of an image.
