Postoperative Complications in Patients with OSA OSA患者术后并发症
Chronic untreated OSA leads to multisystemic adverse consequences and is an independent risk factor for increased all-cause mortality in the general population.慢性未经治疗的OSA可导致多系统的不良后果，也 是普通人死亡率增加的独立危险因素。 The anatomical inherent collapsibility of the airway and the systemic effects of the disease also place the surgical OSA patients at increased risk of serious complications. OSA患者气道解剖结构的改变和疾病的全 身影响也增加其手术的严重并发症的风险。 Memtsoudis et al found a 2X higher risk of pulmonary complications in OSA patients after non-cardiac surgery vs non-OSA.在非心脏手术中， 与非OSA 相比OSA患者肺部并发症的风险更高一倍。 In bariatric surgical patients, the presence of OSA was found to be an independent risk factor for adverse postoperative events. Flink et al reported a 53% incidence of postoperative delirium in OSA patients vs 20% in non-OSA patients.在减肥手术患者中，OSA是术后不良事件的 独立危险因素。弗林克等人报道了53%的OSA患者和20%非OSA患者术 后谵妄的发生率。

┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊装┊┊┊┊┊订┊┊┊┊┊线┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊Strategic theming in theme park marketingABSTRACTTheme parks aim to create the atmosphere of another world and it is essentially the theme which becomes the main part of a theme park experience. Thematic tourism has become increasingly popular where travel is motivated by an interest in a particular subject or area rather than by the more traditional motivations such as idyllic scenery and climate. The drawing power of theming is evident in the fact that it has, in recent years, become a catalyst for the growth of new destinations based mainly on thematic leisure.This study attempts to identify and describe a distinct and representative set of theme types and attributes in a theme park and examines the relationship between visitors’ motivation for visi ting theme parks and theme preferences. Weak to moderately strong relationships were found between motivation for theme park visits by visitors and their demographics and lifestyle patterns. Given the fact the theme park industry is still relatively young in Asia; the findings of this study reinforce the need for Asian theme parks to focus strategically on satisfying lower-level needs, such as stimulation, by developing and marketing an adventure theme comparable with Western theme parks.KEYWORDS: theme park, theming, leisure, motivation, lifestyleINTRODUCTIONThe theme park industry has witnessed a fairly rapid international expansion recent years. In the US, the industry has reached maturity after 30 years of growth since the inception of Disneyland in the late 1950s, while in Europe, the industry has spread throughout Western Europe with a large┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊装┊┊┊┊┊订┊┊┊┊┊线┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊concentration of attractions in Germany, France, the Benelux countries and the UK. Reports from the Economist Intelligence Unit indicate that the worldwide trend of the theme park industry is growing. The North American theme park industry grew at a compound rate of almost 3 per cent in attendance over the past decade while Europe has become an attractive venue for corporate investment in theme park development by European consortia and large US corporations.Following Europe is Asia, which has been identified as the world’s next leading international theme park market. In North Asia, like Europe, the industry has experienced a rapid growth phase spurred on by strong demand, a growth which is expected to continue over the next ten years. The number of theme parks has been growing in the Asian region. Since 1991, for example, there have been major theme parks developed in Shengzhen, China, such as the China Folk Culture Villages, Splendid China and the Window of the World. In Singapore, the Flaw Par Villa Dragon World and Tang Dynasty Village were opened in 1991, in addition to its existing Sentosa Island which features several theme parks. In terms of visitor atte ndance, Hong Kong’s premier theme park, Ocean Park, attracted an annual attendance of 4.1 million in 1996, a growth rate of 22 per cent over the previous year. This suggests that the industry’s potential is enormous in Asia and at the same time implies that theme park developers are facing increasingly keen competition. However, despite the performance of the industry and the tourism earnings contributed by its strong growth, there is still a lack of information available on theme parks’performance, positioning and development in Asia,A theme park is an amusement park that has themed attractions, be it food, costumes, entertainment, retail stores and/or rides’ according to the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions ([AAPA). Theme parks are distinguished from other amusement parks in that there is a theme that runs through all or most of their attractions. These attractions might be marketed under one general idea or personality, or they could comprise a cluster of┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊装┊┊┊┊┊订┊┊┊┊┊线┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊different themes at one central location.The theme, therefore, becomes the main part of the theme park experience. Even though theme parks were usually thought of as having a major theme, most of them in fact contain multi-themes in terms of different themed areas.Theming promotes the creation of a whole new atmosphere based on the unique experience that a theme park offers. For instance, in all the Disney properties, there is a fantasy element that allows guests to escape the urban setting and go to places they dream about. Thematic tourism, in fact, represents tourism with a relatively narrow focus, where trips are motivated by an interest in a particular subject or area rather than the more traditional motivations such as the lure of idyllic scenery and pleasant climate. More importantly, theming in some ways is divorced from the idea of place, relegating the consideration of location to being the background for a theme, rather than being the primary motivating factor.The purpose of the study is to examine the importance of the theme in the marketing of theme parks. Since the theme is an important factor affecting the choice of theme parks by visitors, it is important to ascertain more accurately what visitors’ preferences are in terms of themes and how their demographic characteristics and lifestyle influence such preference. More specifically, this study seeks to identify and describe a distinct but representative set of theme types and attributes in a theme park; to find out the theme preference(s) of the theme park visi tors; to examine the relationship between theme park visitors’ motivation (purpose of visit), demographics, psychographics (lifestyle) and their preference(s) for themes; and to examine the importance of theming in the marketing of theme parks.Pearce and Dermott’s leisure ladder provides a motivation framework to explain why people visit theme parks. Five levels of need regarding theme park visitation are identified, with the highest level of need being listed as fulfillment, followed by the need for self-esteem and development. The next level is relationship, which emphasizes the need to build and extend one’s personal┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊装┊┊┊┊┊订┊┊┊┊┊线┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊relationships. This is followed by the need for stimulation. People in this group are concerned with the management of their arousal levels with emphasis on fun and thrill ride, The lowest level is that of relaxation or bodily needs.The theme park industry is part of the service component of the tourism industry. Owing to the intangible nature of services, the creation of an identifiable image is critical for service marketing. Even though the image and the theme are not identical in nature, the theme helps project an image by the sort of theme chosen and the theming. For example, the fantasy theme of Disneyland helps project its image of delight, fun and fantasy. Further, the extensive theming of Disney gives a perception of high quality.Attempting to match the motivation for theme park visitation with themes is difficult as tourist motivation is itself a complex phenomenon. According to Pearce and Dermott tourist motivation is considered as multi motive rather than a single trait or uni dimensional. For example, a visitor who goes to Florida’s Future World at the Epcot Centre might he seeking to entertain her six- year-old child, relax in a pleasant and safe setting, and develop her professional understanding of science and technology. While the leisure ladder model which this study has adopted does not preclude people from having more than one motive at a time, the results revealed no significant relationship between motivation to visit and theme preferences. This result might suggest that visitors who go to theme parks with the needs mentioned m the model (i.e. bodily needs, the need for stimulation, relationship development arid extension needs, self- esteem and development needs and, fulfillment needs) might be seeking an overall experience regardless of the theme, or possibly the examined theme types simply do not provide attributes catering to their needs.The results revealed that the behavior of visitors to theme parks may riot necessarily relate closely to their preferences for themes.This may imply that the fulfillment of their desires may be satisfied in forms of entertainment other than theme parks. For example, a person who likes visiting places with an international reputation when he travels might not like to┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊装┊┊┊┊┊订┊┊┊┊┊线┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊see the replicas of internationally famous attractions featured in theme parks.Visitors who are adventurous, who like to know more about a country’s culture and history when traveling, and like to be near nature, were found to be in favor of adventure themes, history and culture themes and nature themes respectively. This is because thrill rides are almost inseparable from theme parks; and historic and cultural parks are famous in that the architecture, setting and costumes etc are all replicated to project a historic ambience. Lastly, the leisurely and relaxing setting of a theme park, especially one with a natural theme, almost ensures that visitors will be close to a natural environment.ConclusionAn understanding of the consumer is at the core of successful business practice in the tourist industry. If a theme park can meet the needs of its customers, then there is a basis for a successful business. However, a person’s motivation to visit theme parks is a complex phenomenon, built upon very subjective and often intrinsic factors which tend to change over time, making it very difficult to gain a complete understanding of its true nature. Moreover, people often visit theme parks with more than one motive, and the theme may be only one of the many attributes the park offers in addition to its normal amusement mix (rides, shows, games etc). It is, therefore, extremely challenging to attempt to match the motive for visitation directly with a specific theme.This exploratory study represents a first attempt at studying some of these complex relationships. For example, the findings revealed that a visitor’s desire to enjoy the excitement and adventure of the rides bore a moderately strong relationship to the preference for an adventure theme. Given the fact that the theme park industry is still relatively ‘young’ in Asia (introductory to growth stage), this finding reinforces the need for Asian theme parks to focus on satisfying lower-level needs, such as stimulation, by developing and marketing┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊装┊┊┊┊┊订┊┊┊┊┊线┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊an adventure theme. However, as the theme park industry matures, visitors will wish to fulfill more than one level of needs in order to he satisfied. Therefore, to be competitive, park developers need to come up with innovative themes. It is also suggested that parks at the stage of maturity should theme their attractions extensively, as theming creates the perception of quality.Market segmentation based on visitors’ preferences for th emes creates a basis for understanding how customers select visitation to parks in terms of the theme while holding constant all other factors affecting the choice of theme park such as price, location etc. Furthermore, as the preference for themes varies from person to person, market segmentation helps to customize the product. The findings in this study showed that the nature theme was ranked most frequently in the high rank which implies that theme parks which adopt a mass market approach might consider selecting a nature theme. In contrast, theme parks which aim to target a niche segment might choose themes that have a narrower appeal such as the history and culture theme, since people aged between 40 and 54 years with a middle household income were inclined to view these themes as more important than other age groups. Thus, theme parks which aim to tap into this market might consider establishing and marketing such a theme, particularly so if its visitor population shows a trend towards progressive ageing. Furthermore, the results suggested that there might be a cultural difference existing between Asian and Western visitors in their preferences for the movie theme, making it worthwhile to target these patrons differently.Another approach to defining market segments may be achieved by using multivariate demographic segmentation and multi-segmentation based on combining different themes. In the former case, for example, a park featuring a fantasy theme may segment its market by a combination of several different demographic factors, namely, visitors’ age, marital status and household income. Following this approach, the results from this study would suggest that a viable strategy may be to target visitors between the ages of 10 and 25 years who are single and earning an average household income, In the case of the┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊装┊┊┊┊┊订┊┊┊┊┊线┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊┊multi-segmentation approach, park developers may choose to include and merge the elements of two themes. The findings in this study, for example, would suggest that the fantasy and adventure themes (ranked second and third respectively) may be combined to provide multiple offerings to appeal to a wider range of potential visitors, Joint promotion of history and culture parks and museums would attract those seeking an educational experience. However, care should be taken in combining themes which may contain attributes that are incompatible with each other.。

This generation, often referred to as Generation Z or the digital natives, has grown up in a world that is increasingly connected, informed, and driven by technology. As a result, their lifestyle choices, habits, andpriorities differ significantly from those of previous generations.One of the most striking aspects of the younger generation's lifestyle is their embrace of technology. Unlike previous generations who had to adapt to new technologies, this generation has grown up with technology as a natural extension of their lives. They are fluent in digital languages, comfortable with multi-tasking onmultiple devices, and reliant on technology for both entertainment and information. This has led to asignificant shift in how they consume media, socialize, and learn.For instance, social media has become a ubiquitous part of their lives. They use it to stay connected with friends and family, share their experiences, and express their opinions. Social media platforms have also become powerful tools for them to discover new trends, ideas, and communities. However, this dependency on technology also brings its own challenges, such as managing screen time, protecting privacy, and navigating the complexities of the online world.Another significant aspect of the younger generation's lifestyle is their approach to work and career. Unlike previous generations who followed a traditional career path, this generation is more likely to pursue a variety ofcareer options, often switching between industries or even careers mid-way through their professional lives. Theyvalue flexibility, work-life balance, and the pursuit ofpersonal growth and fulfillment over traditional markers of success like salary or status.This shift in work culture has also led to a rise in the gig economy and remote work. The younger generation is more open to the idea of freelancing, contract work, or working remotely, which offers them the freedom to choose their own projects, set their own hours, and work from anywhere. This flexibility not only suits their lifestyle preferences but also helps them to balance their work and personal life more effectively.In terms of consumption habits, the younger generation is also breaking new ground. They are more conscious about their environmental impact and are actively seeking out products and services that align with their values. They prefer brands that are sustainable, ethical, and transparent, and are willing to pay a premium for products that meet these criteria. This has led to a surge in the popularity of ethical fashion, green consumer goods, and impact investing.Moreover, the younger generation is less interested in material possessions and more focused on experiences. They value travel, cultural experiences, and unique adventures over owning the latest gadgets or fashionable clothes. This shift towards experiential consumption is reflected in the rise of the "experience economy," where businesses are increasingly offering unique and memorable experiences to attract this demographic.However, it's not all roses for the younger generation. They also face unique challenges and pressures thatprevious generations did not. From the rise of mentalhealth issues like anxiety and depression to the pressureto succeed in a highly competitive and interconnected world, they are navigating a complex and often overwhelming landscape. It is, therefore, crucial that society, institutions, and families provide them with the supportand resources they need to thrive in this new era.In conclusion, the younger generation's lifestyle represents a significant departure from the past. Their embrace of technology, flexible work culture, ethicalconsumption habits, and focus on experiences are shaping a new era that is more connected, diverse, and sustainable. While they face unique challenges, the potential for positive change and impact is immense. It is up to us, as a society, to support them in realizing their dreams and aspirations while also helping them to navigate the complexities of this new world.。

英语作文关于人口出生率,死亡率的题目考研
英语作文关于人口出生率,死亡率的题目考研精选英文英语作文关于人口出生率,死亡率的题目考研：Title: The Dynamics of Birth and Death Rates: Implications for Population Growth and Postgraduate ResearchIn the intricate tapestry of societal evolution, the interplay between birth and death rates stands as a pivotal thread, weaving together patterns of population growth, demographic shifts, and ultimately, shaping the future trajectories of nations. As postgraduate students delving into the vast expanse of social sciences, understanding the nuances of these fundamental demographic indicators becomes not just an academic pursuit but a prerequisite for navigating the complexities of contemporary societal challenges. This essay endeavors to examine the dynamics of birth and death rates, their underlying factors, and their implications for population growth, while also highlighting potential avenues for further research within the realm of postgraduate studies.The Fundamentals: Birth and Death Rates DefinedBirth rate, also known as fertility rate, refers to the number of live births per thousand individuals in a population over a specified period, usually a year. It serves as a direct measure of a population's reproductive activity. Conversely, death rate denotes the number of deaths per thousand individuals within the same timeframe, reflecting the mortality patterns of a given society. The interplay between these two rates determines population growth or decline, with a higher birth rate than death rate leading to population expansion and vice versa.Underlying Factors Influencing Birth and Death RatesThe dynamics of birth and death rates are intricately linked to a multitude of socioeconomic, cultural, and biological factors. On the birth rate side, factors such as education levels, economic conditions, access to healthcare, cultural norms, and government policies (e.g., family planning initiatives) play crucial roles. For instance, advancements in education and women's empowerment often lead to a decline in fertility rates as individuals prioritize careers and personal aspirations over early or large families. Similarly, economic stability and improved healthcare access can positively impact birth rates by reducing infant mortality and fostering healthier families.On the other hand, death rates are influenced by advancements in medical technology, lifestyle choices, and environmental conditions. Improved healthcare systems, including vaccination programs and treatments for chronic diseases, have significantly lowered mortality rates worldwide. However, lifestyle factors like smoking, obesity, and inadequate nutrition, along with environmental hazards like pollution and climate change, pose new challenges to public health and can offset some of these gains.Implications for Population Growth and Postgraduate ResearchThe imbalance or equilibrium between birth and death rates has profound implications for population growth, which in turn shapes societal structures, resource allocation, and economic development. Rapid population growth can strain infrastructure, education systems, and healthcare resources, while declining populations can lead to labor shortages and economic stagnation.For postgraduate researchers, these dynamics present a rich field of inquiry. Areas of study might include:-Socioeconomic Determinants of Fertility: Examining how education, employment opportunities, and cultural values influence individual and societal fertility choices.- Health Policy and Mortality Reduction: Evaluating the effectiveness of public health interventions in reducing mortality rates and their long-term impacts on population health.- Population Aging and Its Implications: Investigating the social, economic, and policy challenges posed by aging populations, including pension systems, healthcare needs, and intergenerational equity.-Migration and Demographic Change: Analyzing how migration patterns, both international and internal, contribute to population growth or decline and their impacts on receiving and sending communities.- Environmental Factors and Demography: Exploring the links between environmental degradation, climate change, and demographic trends, including their implications for sustainable development.In conclusion, the dynamics of birth and death rates are intricate and multifaceted, with far-reaching implications for population growth and societal well-being. As postgraduate students, delving into these issues offers not only an opportunity for intellectual growth but also a chance to contribute to the design of policies and interventions that promote sustainable and equitable demographic outcomes for all.中文对照翻译：标题：出生率和死亡率的动态：对人口增长和研究生研究的影响在错综复杂的社会演变中，出生率和死亡率之间的相互作用是一条关键线索，将人口增长、人口结构变化的模式编织在一起，并最终塑造了国家的未来轨迹。

I first read this book in high school and really enjoyed it because of its accurate language. If any of you is interested in reading this book and hasn’t yet, I highly recommend (推荐) it.Firefly LaneBy Kristin HannahThis is my favorite book. It is a story about friendship, love and life lessons. The story covers the lives of two best friends, Tully and Kate, from childhood to adulthood. I learned so much about friendship and life. So, read Firefly Lane! You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and then you’ll share this book to your best friend.Half the SkyBy Nicholas KristofFor any person of any age, Half the Sky is a must-read. It describes the struggle of women and the most pressing human rights problems of ourtime: the common oppression of women and girls.The Little PrinceBy Antoine de SaintThis c hildren’s book is simple. It might seem like a wrong book to recommend to someone in their twenties but perhaps that’s what makes it a good choice. It sings praises to exploration and shows the importance of making friends.1. Who is the writer of the book The Kite RunnerA．Khaled Hosseini. B．Kristin Hannah.C．Nicholas Kristof. D．Antoine de Saint.2. What can you learn from Firefly LaneA．It’s written by Tully and Kate. B．It’s about friendship, love and life lessons.C．It’s a simple book for children. D．It’s a book written for any person of any age.3. Which book will you read if you want to know about human rights problemsA．The Kite Runner. B．Firefly Lane.C．Half the Sky. D．The Little Prince.BAround the country and around the world, there is no shortage of human suffering. Poverty, disease, violence, hurricanes, wildfire andmore are constantly troubling humanity, and even our best efforts thus far can’t address all of everybody’s needs. Many are looking for places to cut funding, and one of the first places that comes up in conversation is excessive spending on space exploration. What good is it to conduct microgravity experiments repeatedly when children are starving Why launch so many space-related projects when nuclear war threatens our planetThis is a line of thinking that has been coming up throughout history. Yes, it’s short-sighted, in that it fails to recognize that our greatest problems require long-term investment, and that society’s greatest advances come about through hard work, research, development of decades after that is made. Investing in science is investing in the betterment of humanity.Over these years, much of the results of the space research have been adapted to be applicable to our daily lives. For example, NASA’s advancements in the areas of robotics have given manufacturers an additional basis for the development of more advanced artificial limbs. Additionally, certain nutritional enrichment ingredients that were developed by NASA have been integrated into baby food formula. Space technology has also helped improve economies. Within the next three years, the space exploration and space tourism industry are expected to be valued at 3 trillion USD．It is true that for every dollar wespend on the space program, the US economy receives about $8 of economic benefit. Space exploration can also serve as amotivation for children to enter the fields of science and engineering.To many people, the idea of space travel may still seem far from practical. However, I believe that it is important that we keep going forward or we’ll risk delaying further discoveries and technological advancements that will be beneficial for us.4. According to paragraph 1, what do some people think of space explorationA．Useless. B．Wasteful.C．Beneficial. D．Harmful.5. What does the underlined word “that” in the second paragraph refer toA．The advance. B．The development.C．The investment. D．The problem.6. How does NASA’s advancements contribute to the development of artificial limbsA．By providing a foundation.B．By adding certain materials.C．By acting as a driving force.D．By helping realize the mass production.7. What can we infer from the last two paragraphsA．The payback of space programs is very high.B．Space travel appears to be within people’s reach.C．More and more children are interested in science.D．New technological discoveries have been delayed.CThe average age is rising around the world - a demographic (人口) shift that may pose a significant challenge to efforts to control climate change. Hossein Estiri at Harvard University and Emilio Zagheni of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Germany have found that energy use rises as we get older and not just because we tend to get wealthier. The study suggests that a larger greying population would mean a greater proportion of society would be consuming more energy. They combined two decades worth of data from thousands of U.S. households and used this to build a model to reveal how energy use varied across 17 age groups between 1987 and 2009. They found that, on average, children’s energy consumption climbs as they grow up, before dipping slightly when they leave home. Consumption then rises again when people hit their 30s, before briefly dropping after 55, and then beginning to climb again.The study controlled for factors such as income, local climate and the age, type and size of a person’s home. The increase in energy use at various points in our lifespan seems to be down to lifestyle and how ourneeds change as we age. Why does demand surge so much in our 30s “We need more of everything. More space, a bigger TV, two fridges,” says Estiri. The study found that in warmer parts of the U.S. energy use intensifies in people over the age of 65 probably as a result of the increased use of air conditioning. This suggests that there is a feedback effect between climate change and an ageing population that will only make matters worse.Heatwaves have become more common in the U.S. in recent years and are expected to become more frequent due to global warming. More older people using more electrical energy to keep cool as temperatures rise could add to emissions, and thus drive more warming until our energy supply becomes entirely fossil fuel-free. “This mix of population, ageing and climate change on energy demand is really important to start thinking about,” says Estiri Benjamin Sova-cool at the University of Sussex. U.K, says the work shows the importance of demographics when it comes to cutting carbon emissions. Most modeling of climate change mitigat ion assumes people’s energy consumption either stays the same or only changes by a small amount over time.“This study directly challenges that entire body of research by forcing it to solve the temporality and complexity of the consumption of energy.” says Sova-cool. “Houscholds do not behave in ways easy to predict or comprehend.”8.

By necessity, neither did the word “dumbphone.” In two decades, we might talk about all of our appliances in similar ways. From ovens to garage doors to insulin pumps to vehicles, many of our devices are going to be connected to the Internet in the same sense that our phones are now. One company, SmartThings sells devices that help consumers control their lights and locks while they’re not at home, for example. Eventually, these items will be able to respond to signals from one another independent of human input. 12 .That could be great, but it also vastly expands the universe of things that could go wrong, particularly when it comes to privacy. Take dishwashers. At heart, they're very simple machines. But a hacked dishwasher might start running on overdrive, going through multiple cycles, wasting gallons of water and costing you extra and possibly flooding your house. Although the folks who make dishwashers may be fantastic engineers, or even great computer programmers, it doesn’t necessarily imply they’re equipped to protect Internet users from the beginning,13 Hacking is just an extreme case. Short of that, there are all kinds of security problems that could crop up in an Internet of Things situation. Many of these devices are pumping out vast amounts of data. According to Hagins, a modest 10,000 households have SmartThings installed. Together, those homes produce 150 million data points a day.14 As early as 2010, Siemens said it was capable of using its smart meters to learn some pretty incredible things about our energy usage: “We, Siemens, have the technology to record it every minute, second, microsecond”. From that we can infer how many people are in the house, what they do, whether they're upstairs, downstairs, do you have a dog, when do you habitually get up, when do you have a shower: masses of private data. 15One difference between data-hungry businesses like Google and your future home network of Internet-enabled objects is that some of those devices may not need to talk to each other over the public Internet. If they’re connected to the same Wi-Fi network, maybe those devices won’t need to transmit data across the Web. “Utilize but keep the data within the home boundary, the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s Lee Tien suggested ‘‘Keep the interesting variations within the home boundary.”A．Securing that data is something that even big-name tech companies struggle with. So how do we fix thatB．“It’s not just that the consumers don’t understand the technology,”said Jeff Hagins, co founder of SmartThings. It’s also that the people building it don’t understand it. Just because I know how to program doesn’t mean I understand these vulnerabilities at all.”C．That raises another potential problem, though. If your home Wi-Fi password is all that stands between a spy or hacker and your networked devices, you wind up with a single point of failure.D．The information may be relatively unimportant, such as battery levels or temperatures, but when in adds up, it can produce extremely detailed profiles of your behavior.E.The same holds true for the auto industry, where many companies have begun experiment with new technologies that let cars communicate with one another.F.Your bathroom scale might tell your refrigerator that you’re overweight, and your fridge might start recommending healthier recipes.三、完型填空Most forms of conventional advertising — print, radio and broadcast television — have been losing ground to online ads for years; only billboards, dating back to the 1800s, and TV ads are holding their own. Such out-of-home advertising, as it is known, is expected to 16 by 3.4%in 2022, and digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising, which includes the LCD screens found in airports and shopping malls, by 16%. Such ads draw viewers5 attention from phones and cannot be skipped or 17 ,unlike ads online.Billboard owners are also 18 the location data that are pouring off people’s smartphones. Information about their owners’ locations and online browsing gets collected and sold to media owners. They then use these data to work out when different groups —“business travellers”, say — walk by their ads. That 19 is added to insights into traffic, weather and other external data to produce highly relevant ads. DOOH 20 can deliver ads for coffee when it is cold and iced drinks when it is warm. Such 21 works particularly well when it is accompanied by “programmatic” advertising methods, a term that describes the use of data to automate and improve ads. In the past year billboard owners such as Clear Channel and jcDecaux have 22 programmatic platforms which allow brands and media buyers to select, purchase and place ads in minutes, rather than days or weeks. It is said that outdoor ads will increasingly be bought like online ones, based on audience and views as well as 23 .That is possible because billboard owners claim to be able to 24 how well their ads are working, even though no “click-through” rates are involved. Data firms can tell advertisers how many people walk past individual advertisements at particular times of the day. Advertisers can estimate how many individuals 25 to an ad for a handbag then go on to visit a nearby shop (or website) and buy the product. Such metrics makeoutdoor ads more 26 -driven, automated and measurable, argues Michael Provenzano, co-founder of Vistar Media, an ad-tech firm in New York.However, the outdoor-ad revolution is not 27 -free. The collection of mobile-phone data raises privacy concerns. And 28 of the online-ad business for being vague, and occasionally dishonest, may also be targeted at the OOH business as it becomes bigger and more complex. The industry is ready to 29 such concerns, says Jean-Christophe Conti, chief executive of VIOOH, a media-buying platform.

Diver Acquisition Project - Phase I
Profile of the Most Active Divers in the US; Lifestyle and Demographic Study
Project Methodology
• Part of the study used actual diving customer lists to determine their lifestyles and certain demographic characteristics. The “N” totaled more than 300,000 divers which were geo-coded to determine their US Census block. • From this information, DEMA determined Lifestyle (ie: attitudes and beliefs) and some demographic information (ie: income and marriage status) FROM THIRD PARTY SOURCES (No customers were contacted directly in this part of the study) • In addition, diver activity levels were determined using a web-based activity survey with more than 3,000 responding divers. These were also compared for lifestyle, demographics, and diving activity level.
Data Obtained
• Self-reported data: Age, Gender, Geographic Location (using postal code), Diver Activity • Appended Demographic Characteristics – These were NOT reported by the individual but were determined from third party, verifiable databases (used name and postal code identifier):
